« on: October 06, 2008, 08:14:16 pm »
went to a cottage today right out in the country to price for a job. it was only a small property so i said it'll be £14 the women snapped my hand off saying that she hadn't had a window cleaner for years. started doing the windows when a women came out of her house saying "can you do mine after". started on her house then her neighbour poked her head over the hedge "can you do mine"
before i finished her property i got four more houses to do all within walking distance.
Oh how i love these days...kerching ££££££££££ ;D

I bet you would have still got those jobs if you had said £20! providing you had sold yourself and your service properly!! Personally, I don't take on anything for less than £25 these days!

to be honest, these 2 items have been the best improvements in my system since I started wfp.

between this and passing on all my awkward/difficult jobs, every day is a breeze now, i'm never worn out at the end of the day and turnover/profits are improving all the time

my number is 07790 165654. can meet up if you like?

nothing less than £25? where do you live, surely people laugh in your face if its a small house, i have a handful of properties over that price, majority are half it but i still make good money, in fact most would say im lying if i said what i do a day, well done if you re getting those prices but seems unachievable on little homes!

Been doing trad for a couple of years only going full time at it in July this year, walked out of a job at The star aluminium that payed £1300 a month.
buisness is booming i never advertise might throw a few leaflets in every now and again.
I have a young lad who works for me damn good worker as well.
What credit crunch !! ;D

hi daz, i've been living here for a year now, moved from lanesfield, wolverhampton.

it is a lovely place, very relaxed and a nice little community.

most of my work is in the wolverhampton area.

i'm originally from wednesbury (for my sins) lol.... where you from?
