How to salvage an under priced round by reducing size to increase profits!

[@SimplyDanuzzz]

Absolutely brilliant advice, 100% spot on. I wish all self-employed window cleaners watched and applied this to their work. We’d all live better and happier 😎

[@jonnyretro5873]

Excellent advice mate. Everything you have mentioned in this video. I have been implementing into my round the past 12 months. Nothing worse than underpriced jobs. As you mentioned, you hate doing them each time you turn up. Just stick them up £3 - £5. If they are not happy sack them off.

[@kevinmartin3392]

Starting out on my own slowly but Shorley , absolutely love your videos really helpful 👍

[@Darren-Green]

Glad you found use in them

[@lui534]

Very good, Darren. Cheers mate.

[@paulmasterwindowclea]

Hey thanks alot Darren 👍 I'll get on it ASAP

[@alexwindowscleaning]

We still have showers Darren 😂 but it's better any way. As always great information, thank you. Have a happy days you too 😉

[@rackopablos]

Well said. I use the same system

[@cmwcmw264]

Could you do a tips video on rearranging jobs after bad weather especially with first cleans to fit in

[@lloydledgister4293]

Great advice

[@bumfluff842]

Another method I've used before is called "wanker tax" put shit jobs up so much they sack or your getting enough to out weight the thought of not wanting to clean it

[@WoodsmanocD86]

Top advice mate.... now where are those marker pens👍🏽

[@TheMrJurand2]

Darran. I've got good question. What after all that I've ended up with only 3 or 4 houses on one street? Or maybe even less than that and I had to drive 5 min to the other one and another 3min to second. That will make less compacted round and what next?

[@thewindowking7544]

Hi Darren How do you get on with moving old people on to gocardless, it's something I really struggle with

[@Darren-Green]

You have to quantify old, my mother is late 60s - to some that's old but she's all over her internet banking. My grandmother is 94 and thinks VHS is new fangled technology. you have to manage it case by case.

[@thewindowking7544]

@@Darren-Green I do a lot of oap bungalows probably in there 80s and I find I have little to no chance of them signing up for gocardless

[@Darren-Green]

@@thewindowking7544 Yeah but in their 80s they are usually home or chasing you to make sure you are paid, they don't like to have the debt over them. Only you can decide how to balance your collections. For proper OAPs that are usually home I would not worry about it as I know I am getting paid on the day.

[@marklaunchbury9148]

Hi what do you do about late payers . Do you sake off first time?

[@Darren-Green]

I switched 95% of my business to GoCardless so no collecting. The last 5% are your Granny Smith's that are always home to pay on the day.

[@cmwcmw264]

Hi Darren how do you approach ditching the reds - do you email text call them or just forget them

[@Darren-Green]

Just move on.

[@bumfluff842]

I started a round of 180 £7 jobs all roughly £5 under priced 2 years back stuffed £2.50 on last feb and will still another £2.50 next feb lost 50 jobs in total but thats 2 days work less for roughly the same money, RIP THE PLASTER OFF

[@anthonyhill7431]

When sacking off the pink/reds what do you say to them or do you not say owt and just sack it off

[@Darren-Green]

Usually just sack them off, if they do ever call up and ask why I don't do them anymore I will have a sincere in-depth conversation with them. If they are willing to fix the problems then I will sign them up again but this is very very rare.

Think I can really make it work

[@Darren-Green]

It can work anywhere in the country all you got to do is get on with it.

[@johnny0468]

i agree the positive effect it has dropping shitty jobs and arsehole customers really gives you a lift mentally nothing worse than arriving at a job that causes stress i had jobs that i dreaded going to which would cause me acid reflux and thats not good, i have 99% fantastic customers now and virtually no stress 😎 why fill your day doing under priced work it makes no sense getting home knackered with a poor wage to show for it... sack em all off i say 👍

[@mowtownni4587]

After having hayfever since the age of 11, now 45 I feel your pain. But none this year despite not taking a single anti histamine, the difference? In February I gave up grains, namely wheat, if you have a moment check out " William Davis " on KZbin.

[@MrHoodedtop]

Best advice I ever took, dump the dog shit cleans, jumping over that old washer or dodging dog poo no thanks.... I am currently having to deal with a patch warrior, all his customers keep asking me to come clean for them, because I work 12 months a year and clean the frames properly.... But this lout keeps coming up & being nasty to my customers, it's taking everything I have in me not to knock him out.... I know i should just ignore him... But bile that comes out this mans mouth JUST FLIPS MY FUSE AWESOME VID....

[@smartcleaningservices7450]

MrHoodedtop if patch warrior was any good he wouldn’t have to worry about you taking his work as good window cleaners tend to keep their work. Tell him to do one and crack on building your business mate 👍🏻

[@ekonamare7219]

Bloody hell sounds like a lot of stress man hope u got it sorted

[@0riginallegend]

Why wouldn’t you sell the shit stuff Darren?

[@Darren-Green]

If you sell the shit stuff, next time you have something to sell, that buyer won't even take your call.

[@matthewsummerfield80]

Just dump the awkward customers. Our jobs awkward as it is. Many more good jobs out there. Arguements? Unwilling or late to pay? Dog shit/dog trying to eat you, poor access to backs... walk on! I run a 2 strike system. 2 any of above. I leave them! Plenty more customers & good ones! Out there!
