What methods are you currently using? Door knocking, leaflets, facebook, website, any other?It’s going be a long process but I’m not giving up might be a lot of competition in my area try my hardest to get where I want to
this is correct....the more customers you get...the more walk ups and recommendations you get BUT......you need to make sure your doing a good reliable job month in/month out and your attitude is good...i sign written van and logo d workwear helps too that clearly states what you do in big letters.....it takes time...years in fact but slowly,slowly you ll become part of the furniture in your chosen area....It’s like compound interest.
To start with not much happens, but once you get a decent amount of customers say 75-100 you start to get referrals and walk ups trickling in regularly , which helps and is good for your moral??
100% agreement.this is correct....the more customers you get...the more walk ups and recommendations you get BUT......you need to make sure your doing a good reliable job month in/month out and your attitude is good...i sign written van and logo d workwear helps too that clearly states what you do in big letters.....it takes time...years in fact but slowly,slowly you ll become part of the furniture in your chosen area....
personally id try and get a foothold in an affluent area..this is where ive built up nearly all my work in the last 28 years....i have over 300 customers in a 3 mile area so hardly any driving about....

Use the search button ?What is softwashing please mate?
Great advice thank you ?Use the search button ?
It's a way of chemical cleaning exterior stuff. One thing to be aware of is sometimes people, especially some on youtube vids, don't protect themselves or the surrounding environment properly as the chemicals aren't very good for your health.
Remember H&S is actually there to keep you safe!!! OK so sometimes it's a pain but less painful then the possible consequences of not using ppe, safety equipment or a sturdy access platform etc.
Google it mate as the safety is as important as the processWhat is softwashing please mate?

Sorry mate. It's my opinion as I've always had multi trades and offer more services to break up the routine and repetition so that I don't screw up injures and suffer more.Not getting this at all mate, if some ones rounds are full enough then no matter what the schedule 4 or 6 weekly the money is coming in every week just through window cleaning, I get a payout everyday Mon-Friday
No need to apologise, variety is the spice of life and we are all different, a mate of mine @THL4KEL does well with add ons as well and has a good varied mix,Sorry mate.

I find that more varied jobs from day to day can deliver a better income for me in my area.
Just to add she has been replaced by 3 new jobs today in around 3 hrs of her cancelling, all close compact work next to other jobs so no loss really, lost another one today as well £10 job but price increases on todays work came into effect so I am still up earnings wise.You've just got to keep on pushing on, over 21 years and I am still building and refining my rounds.
What I will say is digital communication is better for when giving quotes, I had custy of around 5 years cancel back in December then last month asked me to restart, I clearly outlined via FB messenger that it would be £50 for the first clean then £25 there after, previously I was charging her £22 per clean, I wake up this morning to a message complaining about been charged £50 and her wanting a refund of £28.00
I screen shot the whole conversation and sent it to her, she had no comebacks at all. but has now cancelled my services
