One offs................................................forget it!

ive had 3 calls today about cleans

i guess they were one-off's

i will give them a really high "first clean" price, then a normal price for regular cleans

What you doing back home at this time Mathew??

well i got soaked to the skin, even my pants were wet, so i was home at 12.30

i then spent my time wisely stripping down a pop-top that i had just purchased for my campervan, it was hammering down, but as i was wet, i just cracked on

You should be ashamed not working in the rain!!!!!

the first 3 houses were done in light rain ( drizzle ) and whilst it was ok, it wasnt pleasant , then the last house ( i only had 4 to do then i had finished the area ) was done in the rain, it was embarrassing, the lady looked embarrassed when i tapped on the door to collect  , she said " i s.pose you have to work in the rain sometimes "

i know people will say " its all to to with training , guarantees etc etc, but i am not hard up enough to have to work in the rain

Nothing to do with being hard up Mattis it really, it is a choice. I would have highlighted a point in this post about what customer said to you, but the forum is still playing up and I gave up lol

i wonder how many customers look at window cleaners working in the pouring rain and think " oh poor fellow, he must be hard up to have to work in that rain "
my guess a fairly high % ( i know alot will not be in etc etc )

for me to work in the rain would mean i would be really desperate for money, lcky i have never got to that point, who knows eh  ? ?? ?

as for the working in the rain bit, when you are starting up you really have to try and go out when you can even in drizzle although it aint pleasant, when the rounds built up then you can just put everyone back a day or two if need be but when its a day here, days there it needs to be kept as much as possible to build your reputation up.
