Wow ! What a journey... next week it will be 4 years since i started..
Most of u will know me from the usernames: Harunh / They Call me H
I got banned a few years ago but i am now back to help people out in the window cleaning circle /emoticons/biggrin.png
If you are starting out i recommend u read this as it can only do wonders for your confidence /emoticons/smile.png
When i first started out a lot of people used to laugh at me and my own friends and family used to say to me why would u do that for ? but deep down i had a business plan all in my mind and i knew i could do it but i stuck to my guns and went with it... the first 6 months were very hard... i went door knocking and i still remember my first ever customer till this day /emoticons/smile.png I still clean their windows aswell so i cant be doing that bad can i /emoticons/wink.png haha
While i started my business i was working part time in a call centre... and without this job i wouldnt be where i am today.. it was a weekend job... so it was ideal... i would recommend that anyone who starts up and has no money on the side that u work weekends to make up the numbers for your business.. in the first year u will not make a penny.... after 16-18 months i quit the job and just focused on my business /emoticons/smile.png I upgraded from a small van to a medium van... and i am now looking at getting a 2nd van on the road this week /emoticons/smile.png i will have 2 vans on the road soon /emoticons/smile.png I am expanding on the commercial side a lot and think theres a load of work out there u just got to go and look for the work.
The work will not come to you.... i could of had 3 vans on the road by now... but i have been very lazy.... but im only 25... but the key to a successfull window cleaning business are below:
Always work in all weathers ( DONT LET THIS EFFECT YOUR BUSINESS ) - i EDUCATE ALL MY CUSTOMERS TELLING THEM RAIN DOESNT MAKE YOUR WINDOWS DIRTY.
Knock on doors non stop ( KEEP KNOCKING DOORS AND U WILL ALWAYS BE GOING UP IN THE WORLD )
Be respectful and look after all your clients ( LOOK AFTER YOUR CUSTOMERS ALWAYS SMILE EVEN THOUGH YOU FEEL DEPRESSED AND SICK IN THE HEART /emoticons/sad.png )
Never undersell yourself ( NEVER UNDERPRICE JUST TO GAIN WORK IT WILL ONLY COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU )
In the next year i expect my customer base to double to what it is now.. yes that means get more customers in the next 12 months then i have in the past 4 years.
HOW ?
Wake up each morning and sell yourself to clients and gain contracts left right and centre, you either run the day or the day will run you !
Anyone can do it /emoticons/smile.png it just takes motivation...... if i can do it then really anyone else can do it trust me !
Good luck to everyone on here and i wish u all the best
