Was wondering if anyone out there work as a husband and wife team.
We use the system where my wife does the quotes and I do the cleans. Any comments or advice from anyone who does it the same way. It is really working well for us. Seems that customers relates better to a woman than a man. My wife sells way more than me.

Yup.

Thats how we started. I do the quotes, the work, the books, the dishes, clean the loo, pick up the dog s&*t, do the salaries and the wife does everything else.

But seriously, You're right. The wife answers the phone, books the calls and people seem to relate to her better.

She used to do the work as well but, since I joined and bought the TM, I do most of that now.

Works well

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

[Phil Marlor]

Same here, I do all the work, she does all the talking!

[Neil Grainger]

[Geoff Jewkes]

I'd better not let the wife see this post as she wants in aswell!!! Shes currently in a job getting £11 an hour and says she wants the same from me !!! ha

and how did you managed to get the wife trained to know what to say when tehecnical questions are asked?
Will my carpet shrink? and all those strange questions some customers can come up with?

Does anyone take the wife out to clean with you?

[Geoff Jewkes]

I wouldn`t.... I go to work to ESCAPE

My wife has been on the courses as well, so she sort of knows what shes talking about.

Is it true you actually have to pay your partner.

Or is a joint account OK
