I meant the 3/4 man teams really. They are just thugs and bullies. Who`d want people like that to clean their windows.

had a think about this over last few days one thing to keep in mind;
do they pay ie i and other wc i knowdo work if they are good and moneys safe no pasa nada but
if they are dodgy you may not give 100 percent going about your bis like this you may end up with
a round of 1000 a week banking 100 no money in these other wc may have problems like this ;
ive had jobs thought this is great only to be dissapointed.

Going slightly off the subject that was originally posted.

What if some custys didnt want these 3/4 teams of w/c's cleaning.. lets say 5 of the, I presume houses, and asked you to do them, would you turn them down just in case they spat their dummies out the pram, and gave a lot of idle threats, cos most of them are idle threats.  I wouldnt put up with it, and i certainly wouldnt be looking over my shoulder when i did take them on.

Some people dont understand the word 'Competition'
Look after yourself, ......................................your self-employed!

mick yes it does happen a lot round our areas just dont back down,i had loads of thugs phone me over last 4 or 5 months with there threats but hey bring it lol

[mick partington]

thanks for advice ian why do you think it happens in windowcleaning when iv never known it in other business iv not been threatened by the way just warned by others its dog eat dog and will happen

[mark dew]

I think it would be better if approaching, to sell your merits rather than putting down the existing cleaners work.
Nod and agree to any complaints that might be aired, but bad karma to mention how bad the competition are.

lets face it at the end of the day window cleaning tends to attract thugs as its easy money,most will back down if you show no signs of being bothered,some wont just be aware thats all
