have seen something today to make my blood boil
over the past year we have been doing builders cleans on a local building site we were that busy we did not want the window cleaning round
over the past few months we have found out bits and bats about the chap that started to do them
when the site first started this chap went to the site manager for a job as a brikie the ans was no. two weeks ago i saw him delivering flowers when picking up one of my lads today after doing a final clean on a house the new owners were moving in the wife husband mother and dad the wife was very upset this window cleaner turns up and says very bluntly you want a winow cleaner the mother says yes she will in the future but we are a bit busy right now could you call back latter tomorow morning he says no says the mother what about sunday no we wont be straight says mother ill call back on monday then and then left didnt give the customer a bussiness card
saw him get in a old nackerd corsa van no roof rack a pair of diy ladders inside over the passenger seat and through the back door the end of the ladders has no rubbers and the ends are badly worn his unproffesional attitude anoyed me he looked just like a cowboy i went to the van got a bussiness card introduceed myself to the customer and got the house i am just debating about going after the other 15 completed houses and get shut of him
what would you do

stephen think of the bigger pictuer, he obversly needs the work and is willing to get him self out there and do so. he could have a disabled child and an out of work wife at home.
not every one has the money to go out and buy a new van as soon as they decide to start out in a new business venture. i know i didnt!!!
do local cafe's serve horrid breackfasts just because they arnt well done up and kitted out like mac donalds??? no there better because they value there customas more! one day that 'cowboy' might be on here bragging about his new van and hol's to jamacia like most on here. lol

Dropping your customers for builders cleans and then having a rant about someone being unprofessional.
He has no business cards, he couldn't make it the next day, he has an old van, his ladder. What next he had no end clips on his squeegee.
You gave up on your custys then have a pop at someone and there is always someone who will fill the gap.
