custy turned up at house and paid me for a years window cleaning which was £420 and they give me

£50 xmas tip cha ching happy days

 
I had one customer want to pay for a year up front. But I turned them down and told them that I don't do that and said what happens if something happened to me and I couldn't do it due to accident or death.

 
I wouldnt allow myself to take such a big payment of a custie for a whole year,just doesnt feel right.

 
4 months up front iv had before, and id advise against even that, it does feel like your doing it for nothing, unless you use the 420 to generate more work or make your work easier, then you wont hate doing it as much!lol

 
but i dont mind getting payed in advance /emoticons/smile.png better then chasing the payment after

 
Well its only one house and as its paid for the van insurance & work insurance i think its gone to good use and it will only take 30 mins a month which is 6 hours a year i dont think ill be to bothered and when i clean the house ill just be thinking they were good enough for keepin my buisness going for another year

well said

 
I wouldn't for reasons said, I'd find it difficult to clean the windows after a month or so.

Only way it would work is if i gave it my wife and told her to keep it to the side and pay me each month out of it, that way cha ching.

I see your point and makes sense for you but I'd struggle.

 
I have a customer who insists on paying me about five goes in advance but I don't like it because every time I go back for more money he says things like "i thought I still had a couple of times left" which leaves me thinking he is doubting me

 
I'd tell them i wouldnt want it a year in advance but if they insisted I wouldnt argue with them lol.. Suppose it's better than some cases where you clean a few months advance and don't get paid!
