Hey fellow WC guys!
Yeah, I hear your skepticism, and I respect your opinions.
After all, with few exceptions, I don't think that I've had the pleasure of your acquaintance yet.
MrH, Karlos, and Duke all know me, though, and can vouch that I'm a real person!

As far as the competition comment, unfortunately, I work/live in Toronto, Canada.
It's a big city, but I have about 450 local professional competitors, and counting, not to mention the 'little guys' that will clean windows for a pint.
As far as 'proof' that my marketing advice will work for your window cleaning company, please implement some of my free advice, and see the difference it can make.

For instance, here's piece of free marketing advice that might help, about how to turn your phone message into a powerful marketing tool:
