£18 To Expensive For A Quarterly Clean

[dth]

Just had one of my clients contact me regarding changing her 4 weekly service to a quarterly sevrive.

I charge her £9 for a 4 weekly and I said to her a quarterly service will be £18 she nearly dropped down dead.

Some customers are ******** stupid does she really think im going to turn up once every 12 weeks for £9 pounds.

Shes in the bin and she will never get back on my round.

They think cleaning windows is just cleaning windows. I don't charge more the less I do them.

You should do, whats the point in turning up every three months to clean windows for £9 pounds a complete waste of time.

Spose if you got more houses there it would be worth it but otherwise no.

If people want it 8x weekly instead of 4x i dont change the price

 

[mark m]

I charge the same whether it is a 4 weekly or 8 weekly

If people want it 8x weekly instead of 4x i dont change the price

I charge 0.75 pence per window( as a rough guide) on a 4 weekly clean then if the want it 8 weekly i half the 4 weekly price and add it to the 4 weekly price for an 8 weekly clean.
E.G £7 4 weekly, £7 Divided 2 = 3.5 so £7 + £3.5 = £10.50 fo an 8 weekly clean.

If they want it quarterly i charge double the 4 weekly price.

For me personally why would you bother messing around with client that have a value of £36 per year, not worth the hassle just find another client.

I do a few in the street, she tells the neighbor he does mine 3 monthyl for £9, before you know the neighbour has changed to a three monthly for £9.

I dont want those type of clients.

You'v got to do mate, 8 weeklys for the same price as a 4weekly are not worth doing. Imagine how many clients you would need at £9 8 weekly to make a good monthly income, plus when you go 8 weekly with the wfp system it takes longer because you have got all the cobwebs to remove from the corners of the windows there's more muck and **** on the sills and the glass is festering mucky. When your cleaning on a 4 weekly your just basically maintaining clean so its a lot quicker and easier.

I generally say to customers for instance if price was £10 for a monthly clean if they then said no I want them doing every 2 months instead I would say no problem that will be £20 per clean then. Most will go for the monthly clean as they get their windows cleaned twice as much in a year so better value for them. If they decide to have them cleaned every 2 months then that's great as less work for me but I still get the same dosh for half the work. :laugh:

They think cleaning windows is just cleaning windows. I don't charge more the less I do them.

And people actually go for that smurf? Seems expensive...
