Worth going along with a window cleaner to learn?

[Richard]

I live in Bournemouth and am not sure if anyone would take me along for a day and show me the wfp ladders etc . Is it better to ask someone from Slough who I met at a window cleaning festival? He lives in Slough and I would be no competition for him as I live too far. Just want to go through stuff like my squeegeeing technique using ladders and the wfp.
Should I say- Is it possible to come a long for a day to get an idea of the wfp system etc? What do u say to window cleaners to persuade them?

Why not, just keep in mind - If he doesn’t know what he is doing wrong, how does he know what he is doing right?

Even a novice could notice some improvements when being taught something, might be better to keep quite and be grateful of the experience.

Very true Richard as for myself I never stop learning

you wont gain any confidence by tagging along with another cleaner, in fact itll demoralize you cos u will see how slow you are . better to just hit the streets and learn by your mistakes- this will give you the backbone necessary to ride over the winter

+ understand rejection [if you are ****] and weve all been **** in the early days . get back into it and the sooner you start the better,dont delay or doubts creep in

I dont think it will lower my confidence. Surely they will just give me tips? Planning to give two a call tomorrow, what should I say? One guy is local, one is near Slough, but I dont mind going up there. What should I say on the phone? To persuade them to take me? I am off my main job all next week!

Hi cheapancheerful

Tell me to mind my own business but I noticed you mentioned about an equity release next year

8 years ago my mum and dad who were then in there early 60s released £50,000 my dad has since passed away and my mum had a statement of the account and the amount now owing is £102,000. It's cost £52,000 in 8years at the time of arrangement the solicitor advised them against it as they are very expensive but just to pass on my family's experience hope you don't mind

Regards

Tony
