Havent got a jam packed round yet, but have started dropping sometimes nice customers since start of year, not because they are bad payers or grumpy so and so,s.
but I am at the stage where I have decided to pick and choose for my convenience the jobs I take on.
Jobs I have dropped for example are 3 terraces on a main road where I have to park on a side street and carry my ladder about a hundred and fifty yards to first one, hassle.
Had these since I started, but have to think more about what is easier for me, and parking near the customers house is one of my new factors.
Another I have dropped are two bungalows next to each other, with these it is because to get to rear one owner has to let me through his garage so I can get to rear(so he has to be there), and next door, have to take my big ladder and climb on to her garage, ladder down other side to get to the back, hassle...and she has leaded front too!!!.
These two I have had from the start too ,At the outset your glad of every new account, whether access is a pain, the windows are hard to reach, location out of the way, your price was too low etc and maybe that is our apprentership to the business. But after time you get wiser, and better convenience means you work better and more efficiently, and earn more.
