Could your window cleaning round be better organised?

An important part of running a window cleaning business involves organising your work for maximum profit and efficiency. Being well organised means you can improve reliability and therefore your reputation for providing a good professional service. This in turn will attract more customers and gradually boost your earning potential. Your success in being well organised and reliable will depend largely on the arrangements and commitments that you make with your customers.

If you think there is room for improvement in the way you organise your schedule, take note of how much work you do each day in each area, then set realistic targets of what you want to achieve on each day. When you have enough work to fill your schedule you can then start to refine the work, dropping poorer jobs as you replace them with better jobs. In time you will find that you will exceed your initial targets for each day and maximise your work to its full potential.
