feel free if you want to work more and earn less!

Actualcleaning i started to wfp tops and trad bottoms

As for the concept well as it happens it so turned out that a lot of window cleaners were as you say already doing this but did they promote in this way no!

because they as they said they were quite happy doing 4weekly when they could have been promoting this and earning more

i advertised dial-a-clean and reeled the customers in and offered the 4/8/12 weekly and the one off`s it`s called smart marketing!

have a look at how big companies advertise to grab customers attention!

I now offer wfp and that your windows will be left dry! that gets their attention

of course you don`t dry every window you will find that most customers are happy to have some downstairs windows left dry ie living room /kitchen and patio doors if they have them or rear window most don`t bother with the upstairs as long as the downstairs are left dry,

Now as i have said i have been picking up lots of work from this because the other cleaners wont do it why? it only takes seconds to blade it off and i don`t mean blading as you would if you were doing it trad just downward strokes is all that is needed and it works as i do it now

now a lot of customers don`t like wfp because windows are left wet and are left to dry by blading them has got me a lot of new customers

I am not the only one doing it around my way was watching a cleaner yesterday doing a commercial building only small one and he was doing the same,

If by blading gets me more work than the other cleaners it is fine by me and i am the dearest cleaner in my area and you only have to do this with the customers that are in,

So actualcleaning start offering this in your area and see just how many new customers you pick up let it be known you will leave their windows left dry!

[BORBRYCE]

That was a good post James and difficult to argue against if I am being honest.

[james44]

Thanks ronnie b

You being a experianced window cleaner must see the advantage this gives you over the other cleaners

[james44]

I think i'm going to run with it as I need more work

Go for it lee you will pick up customers faster than you would if you were doing it the same way as everyother cleaner the whole point is to offer what no other cleaners offers this will keep you ahead!

Let the others laugh see if they are laughing when its their customers you start picking up!

[LWC]

Please shut up

[james44]

Please shut up

why because you can`t see the benefit or do you just don`t have a clue!

[LWC]

No because i have been window cleaning long enough to know that its YOU who doesnt have a clue. Lol, what a joke, blade the windows of AFTER your cleaned them. Superb

[james44]

I wish i was close to your round  and offer my windows left dry  see how many customers i take off you

[mark dew]

The ideal is not to have to do anyhing but walk away and let the windows dry naturally.
I'm not suprised at the negative posts really.
I bladed the downstairs on a large house for 8 monthed before they dried naturally without a mark. I find a squeegee and a cloth is just as relevant now i'm wfp for problem windows as it was before. It takes longer initially but i only do it until they dry good without. 
The customers are much happier as well.
Its a good idea if you can sell it.

Of course it's a good and new idea that will work on specific windows and customers. Lazy buggers need not take heed, but there is something in this for selected properties. Also as well as totally eliminating the spotting issues, such as busy main road jobs or extremely windy days, you could also work with a tds of a considerably higher ppm than just leaving glass to dry naturally.
This is not for every single job as James has already pointed out, but it does have merit in the right situations.

[Ian Mason]

I do love the comments & disputes on here at times, & it`s quite hard to decipher the best advice lol.

Has James44 come up with a silly idea, OR has he actually hit on a great idea that some others are using on here, & they don`t appreciate this advice being given because of the risk of creating more competition in their areas

[Dave Willis]

So, the competition read this and frantically start blading - what do you do next?

Surely you are de-valuing yourself now?

It could also be argued that you are are simply staying one step ahead of the pack.
