Does this qualify as the most pointless thread of the year? I work on my own and wc is 75% of my work. My figures would be pretty p compared to someone working full time with 1, 2, whatever employees. How long is a piece of string? Suffice to say, I earn enough.

No it’s not a pointless thread by any means, on the contrary it’s an observation which, as you can see by the replies has attracted response, it would appear to me that you are obviously a newbie to this site and the window cleaning profession. If window cleaning is only 75% of your work then you must be a part-timer, so where’s your problem, jealousy perhaps?

Got over 700 domestic
Commercial - 57 includes contract cleaning
But I have 2 employees as well.

Would be interested to know from those of you who do employ of how much two employees earn you on a typical day.
Always seem to turn alot more business when I am there to when they go out on their own.
Thanks Robbie

Posted at 3am as I am off to work would you believe (contract cleaning at a pool before swim squads come in.)

I've got about 300 which is fine for me. I am out canvassing most weekends but I'm going for quality rather than quantity now.
Thats more important to me now. The "More for Less" principle

I'm not going to dump all the old girls who are overdue for a price rise but gradually the grim reaper is doing that for me anyway. Now I am actively only looking for houses
around £25+

This is an excellent thread Jay, positive and constructive, and managing to avoid obvious bragging while taking a realistic look at how things break down.

I look at this and see me as i was, as I am, and as I could be. I think the peice of string and it's lenght is rather up to me to decide, but with this information i can perhaps start thinking about rope instead of a piece of cotton.Oh 235, of which about 3 could be called commercial.

Thank you Mr Solubility, I am glad someone agrees
It has bought out a lot of different figures and does infact show that we can all improve on our customer counts therefore increasing our business and of course earnings.

Judging by some of the replies, I for one still have a way to go yet to fill up my round and earn my full potential

I think it is also good to view that big numbers of customers do not always necessitate larger income.

We have about 600 customers on the domestic side of our round and lots and lots of smaller commercial plus 1 huge contract ( Window cleaning only)

I would trade all 600 for two more like the one big customer.

For new people don't look to have 500 - 600 customers but 200 - 300 very well priced customers. Earn the same but for less work.

It so happens that our 600 are very well priced as well.
