Lost a job this morning to karcher window vac

[rugbywolf]

But it grates on me taking a custy back if they have dropped me once

I always say, I only stick with customers who stick with me.

Problem is I do need the work

Wife does admin for a plumbing business as her 2nd job for a mate

He gets lots of work from business breakfast club

Am going next week as he reckons it will be worth it as builders, estate agents etc all there and only 1 person from each trade so no competition. .gotta be worth a punt??

I suppose you could always flog em a window vac just to pee their window cleaner off /emoticons/biggrin.png

I was approached by a so say breakfast club organisers inviting me to attend saying I would be the only cleaner there. The catch was they wanted me to pay for the pleasure of me attending.... Naff off I think was my reply /emoticons/biggrin.png

I didn't fancy the 6am meeting time when a private taxi driver I know invited me to join!!

Supermarket analogies get used here a lot usually with regards to slow payment....

But imagine you have been shopping in Tesco for years building up loads of clubcard points. And then one day you decide to switch to Asda. So you shop exclusively with Asda for a whole year. And then one day you decide the quality is not as good so you switch back to Tesco. Tesco welcomes you with open arms, but there is a sting in the tail... all your clubcard points have expired, and you're now back at square one, with no discounts or coupons. You'll stay because you've tried the rest, and it didn't work out, but you'll be punished in the wallet for your misdemeanour.

In other words; If you can- don't take it personal, but get even by charging them more. /emoticons/biggrin.png

I will see what this breakfast club lark feels like

2 of my mates go there

1 a plumbers with a busy company and 1 has a fuel drain company for numbnuts who put the wrong fuel in their motors..started with 1 van 5 years ago now has 8 out all the time..minimum around 170 quid for 1 job

 

[Smurf]

How come you did not go into the fuel draining business with your mate then instead of scratching around trying to make a living window cleaning?

That's a national franchise in the making if I have ever seen one

What you would call a FOOL proof business /emoticons/biggrin.png

Not so fast fellas.. things are being installed on cars and petrol pumps to make this kind of mistake a thing of the past, just goes to show how whole industries can be wiped out by the invention of something else.

 

[Dave B]

That is his main worry

they have been saying they are gonna do that for years

Like banning windies from ladders

It may happen someday but who knows when

 

[TolishAPurd]

I'll stop climbing ladders when they invent something that cleans windows better then a squeegee. /emoticons/wink.png

<stirring the pot>

 

[Smurf]

They already have /emoticons/biggrin.png
