what is your most common frequency?

[gerard mcmanus]

I let my custies decide, most are 4 weeks but I have weekly jobs 2 weekly, 3,4,6,8 and even 3 monthly. prob about 85% are 4 weekly.

[elite mike]

depends on the weather etc

but used to be 6 to 8 weeks

but since wfp , i can fly round

[andyatkinson]

99.9% 4 weekly, dont understand 6 weekly maybe im missing somethin but i cant be arsed drivin back to an area for 1 house or so , 8 weeks is esy coz u miss it one time and do it the next time when you are there anyway. i never ever mention frequency options to a new customer i tell them i come every 4 weeks if they ask for 8 thats fine but if i mention it first it gives them the option and id rather not. i just word it, " would you like me to come every 4 weeks when i do the others?" they nearly always say yes, noone wants to be the odd one out

[Sir Squeaky]

I've been 4 weekly since I started, but now 80% of jobs I pick up want it 8 weekly.

Monthly is too often for people these days.
I want to fill out my round so that I can go 6 weekly.
The alternative is 12 weeks, and that's a bit long, so i reckon it will suit most.

One area I've picked up I started them at 6 weekly, which wasn't easy before I used George to remind me!

Sqeak,
Is that a sign of the times or what?

I clean calandar monthly for most of my accounts, but as Squeaky says (and I agree with him which is a rarity), I find this is a bit too frequent; especially if the accounts are 'well priced';  so I'm normally late; maybe 5 weeks.

For bigger stuff I price the account well and do it every-other-month.  I find this keeps the account well paid and keeps the customer happy.

No, I think it's the amount you charge.  There's still guys here who clean every two weeks and charge a small amount.

But if you charge a larger amount, the customer won't want to see you too frequently.

yeah same, and if they do ask for 6 weeks, i just say i'll do it 8 weeks. My old 6 weeks are now 8 weeks anyway.

[andyatkinson]

agree with u on that tosh although i only really do every 4 weeks i do feel more comfortable turnin up a week late every now and then as 4 weeks does go fast!

[sparklebright]

Most of my resi work is 4 weeks in theory, but I always runa a week or two late, cos of my commercial work. Which I think works well, never get a 'Not today thanks' cos they are waiting for me to come.
 
That is one issue with WFP it does such a good job that some people think they only need it doing every two months....
