It begins! December Cancellation

[[email protected]]

First one before the start of December. What do you guys say? 

"Hi Matt… can we have our windows washed in Jan 2022 instead of December. We’re watching the pennies for Christmas!  
Thankyou.  
Sophie"

Don’t get this happen as we spell it out crystal clear when taking jobs on explaining that we work all year ,if they hesitate we don’t take them on , if they have a genuine reason not to have them done building work , new windows being fitted  etc then that fine .

I would actually like to skip December and take a month off and head for the canaries every year. With the way things are going we will be heading for a staycation again.

If they're skint they're skint, each case is judged by itself. If they're regular skippers and you can afford to dump them then I'd dump them.

With our workload I actually appreciate the odd skip.

If it’s a one off for one clean I wouldn’t worry too much. This time of year is affected by bad weather and missing the odd job can help with catching up. If it happens regularly then that’s totally different.

I'd reply, Dear Sophie of course yes, I'll let my kids freeze this winter and go hungry so your spoilt brats can have a ball. Kind regards Matt

I’m not bothered. Short days , poor weather, means I’ve still got plenty to do. 
Usually it’s because the house is suffering from Decoration Rash, and access is tricky  

As Part timer said , if they cancel regularly then think about dumping them if you can afford it.

How many get cancelled due to christmas lights? My plan is to use this for new customer first cleans.

Its thoughtful of them to contact you, rather than you turn up and then they say not to bother cleaning them, they have saved you time, time is money in short winter times and would be even more annoying setting up at a house then not to do it.

I fancy working December and January off. A month in the Canaries!

We will be full of Omicron after COP 2021 and no one will want us!

I’m booked to go there on the 8th Jan with the family, and back there the 2nd week in February with my mates. 
Bit concerned it won’t happen now ??

If she's not a constant messer then that's fine IMO. She's been honest. However if it's regular messing, I'd tell her to get mr. Sophie to clean the windows!

Hopefully you still will be able to mate!

They dont bother me in the slightest, im happy to get home earlier in the winter.

I sort of hope a few cancel tbh. Helps take the stress out of being behind

Oddly today 3 new first cleans and picked up a new customer from them each but not in the towns the job was in,

one road (only about 12 houses) the fella said the road hasn't had a window cleaner for about 5 years so was hoping to pick up one of the neighbours i didn't find one in!

But its 3 extra jobs so can't complain.

Very rare for me to get a cancellation before Xmas....I do get new people wanting an Xmas clean though but I never clean them until the new year....?

 

[scottish cleaning service]

We will be busy again if folk can't spend their money on holidays. ?

I do have a first clean price, so if they miss a clean it will be treated as a first clean again

Never had this at Christmas, phone is usually alive with chancers who never have their windows cleaned, suddenly desperate for a Christmas clean, bo**&$s to them.
