Best one yet for me 👍🏻 listening to this was like listening to my left and right shoulder talking to me about business when have no one else to vent to lol , hats off to Alasdair sitting back listening to it we all need a Alastair for positive attitude and advice ! I say do another podcast year down the line to see how far each other have came and who’s mindset / direction works best
That’s a quality idea!
Great podcast lads, I think I need to do some leaflets for gutter cleaning!
Go for it!
Great podcast 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this. Lots for me to think about.
Glad you enjoyed it! Same for me!
Excellent podcast guys 👌
Much appreciated!
Be good to see these leaflets designs 👌🏼
I agree!
Great ep lads. Lot's of useful info & also gave me a bit of a nudge to follow up on some recent quotes 👍🏻
done the same for me!
🫡🫡🫡
0.15 - 0.2% is the right average for leaflets, 1% would be an insanely good return.
I measure based on 1% enquiry and then 10-30% Conversion which, if my maths is right, puts you 0.1-0.3% of total.
@@Uncleanablespodcast from my experience it’s more like 0.5% enquiry. That’s averaged over 600,000 leaflets this summer. But obviously results can vary. 👍🏻
If youre ever in Essex, you have an open invite to come on the pod and unbox this. That's incredible
Good pod interesting stuff..always something to learn
@@Uncleanablespodcast I was born and raised in Upminster; live in Peterborough now, though. Maybe in the winter when things have calmed down a bit.🤝
Don't need solar panels just need a charging relay to charge up system battery I never take the battery out to charge its always charged from the van
Happy Birthday boys!!! Been smashing the podcast from start to finish in the last few weeks and an iconic episode to catch up to date on. Super enjoyable to listen to and super helpful tips within business. Only bad thing is now I have to wait for the next episode. Keep it up. Stay cleaning you bish!!!!
Legend! Thanks for the support mate! Stay cleaning!
Start with two Gardiner pencil jets 🤣
thats a quality idea! 😂
Happy Birthday, and a birthday cake🎉
Thanks buddy 🎉🎉
Happy birthday lads. I've got a hankering for a grilled banana and tuna panini for some reason now 🤷♂️
Make sure you eat it at 800mph 😉
Also that cleaning product that Mark made, there was another product years ago called vision that you'd add to pure water, not sure if it's the same stuff with a different name, but it was decent stuff back then
Happy birthday boys!! I went on a stag to Magaluf years ago, one of my mates lost his virginity to a hooker, and another got a hooker and was so ashamed he got an early flight home! 😂 My mate who's stag it was got taken up on stage in a strip club and handcuffed to the pole, fuck me he rage quit that club so hard, broke the handcuffs and pushed the stripper off the stage! 😂 All this while he was wearing an old ladies nightie we'd got from a charity shop! (still stunk of piss too!) those were the days! 😂
Bahahahahahahahahahaha fantastic!!!
Trade up, Start with a Banana obviously 😂
Happy birthday you purple helmets! 🎉
Cheers oliver!
Happy birthday lads
Thanks paul
"i don't fly that well... That's why I get on a plane" 😂😂😂
Happy Birthday Guys. Keep the content coming. Well done
Thanks mate 🎉🎉🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳🎉🎂
Thanks buddy🎉🎉🎉
Ryan, wait till you’re off when the baby comes. Imagine going back after a week or 2 off and you haven’t had much sleep. It’s a killer I know as I’m just doing it.
im not having any time off bro, my missus doesn't get any maternity as she's self employed so I have to go back :'(
@@Uncleanablespodcast understandable. I’ve still been out and done a few jobs especially the commercial ones.
Looking forward to van tour 😊
Why would you do that to the inside of your van 😮. Get a length of hose and syphon the water out.
"I blew a trans the other day" 😂😂 so casual
😂
Yes yes 👏🏼💙
my bro!
You guys are F**king hilarious! Very genuine, you can tell you're good mates. Only just found your channel so currently binging.
Thanks sean, glad to hear your enjoying the podcast 👍🏻
The risk is enormous whenever you are dealing with large sums but few contracts. You should never have your business put to a risk whereby your revenue is more than 10% of your total annual turnover, especially if you have multiple employees.
Great advice szilard that we will come back to in a later episode
The risk is enormous whenever you are dealing with large sums but few contracts. You should never have your business put to a risk whereby your revenue is more than 10% of your total annual turnover, especially if you have multiple employees.
This is a textbook explanation! well done
The "decking" sketch had me crying 😂😂😂
Well done, Ryan. It's been two years for me, and it's now easier to say no to the boys than to put myself in those situations.
Thank you bro and well done
Big up Dan, it's a shame you couldn't remember my name 😂
😅😅😅
Top show boys! Nice little shout out too! 👌🏻 Networking is definitely good, but there's a hell of a lot of dickheads about that are tighter than a nuns arsehole with their knowledge! I've always said you'll learn a lot more by making a mistake on job than if you never make a mistake
Where do you find these Chinese poles you mention?!
Just touching on the pricing side of things. I think there is such a vast spectrum of pricing because there is so much competition. Loads of start ups, how do you compete with less experience? All you can do is beat the price.
I agree, that an a lack of business acumen where dropping the price to win work is the only thought they have rather than adding value
What camera did you get
dan got the DJI Action 4, best action cam available in my opinion
Conservatory exterior clean £150 minimum, then price goes up depending on size
say it louder son! gotta be at least £150 dan needs to up his game 😂
@@Uncleanablespodcast haha 100%!! Tell him get smashing those prices up! Let the quality of his work be reflected in his prices
Interesting email newsletter from Mark Cave at softwash UK this week about getting through quiet times of work, some really good tips 👍 Good episode as always chaps 🙏
I get that one ill check it out
I have been charging a little more in the past couple of months for jobs myself. It separates the wheat from the chaff. I may win less work but still earn the same if not a little more money. The biggest difference for me is none of my customers that accept a quote are quibbling on the price. They want a job done and the price is the price. If someone is trying to get my price down, instant red flag and i would rather not work for them anyway.
Couldnt agree more
Totally agree. If you drop your price you’re working for less money and if a job takes longer than expected then your losing even more money as the customer won’t pay you extra for the extra time the job takes.
I know Pryor’s window cleaning turn over about 2.2 million a year and they have 20 vans on the road with one member of staff in each van.
This is mind blowing 🤯
Love the podcast lads. Question to Matt if it’s ok. Does he think he will eventually change his business name as he moves away from maintenance to exterior cleaning? I currently own a locksmith, glass repair business and was thinking of moving more into maintenance but am worried customers might think we are a bit of a jack of all trades. Interesting to know how it works for him.
Dan will love that you got his name wrong, I on the other hand am over the moon and will likely start calling him matt from now on 😂 My personal approach would be to set up another trading company to run maintenance stuff under where you can market those service. and any glass customers you just talk to them about other services you offer. I wouldn't over think it though you can have multiple services but specialise in one area for sure.
@@Uncleanablespodcast oh crap apologies 😂. I was talking to someone at work called Dan while typing so he must of been on my mind! What a div. Thanks for the reply!!!
Lifpo4 battery's are meant to be the one. Lithium you can run flat without damaging the cells. Lifpoo4 batterys and a solar panel, should never need to take the battery out of the van.
Fingers crossed 👍🏻
Am sure Ryan just likes spending money! Could get the cheaper solar panels…no spend double and get the more expensive version to get a 3-pin socket he’s never going to use 😂😂 Can’t you just run an extension lead to the van and still lock the doors?
😂😂😂😂
Ryan loves all the gadgets for the business thats for sure!
Unfortunately I won’t be at the expo next year.
@@yourcleanerwindows6969 breaking my heart Matt
@@Uncleanablespodcast I don’t fancy the 4 hour drive to find half the suppliers haven’t turned up. Meeting you guys was of course the highlight this year. 😄
@@yourcleanerwindows6969 fair enough bro makes sense
Looking forward to the expo, will see you boys down there!
@@RayleighGutterCleaning let’s go 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Have you got a video on new build brick cleaning I’m new to it and trying to improve some of them are absolutely covered in cement
@@chriswhu2490 hydrofloric acid would be my suggestion you’ll need to work on your ratios to find out what works. Neither of us really do that kind of cleaning so probably not the best people to advise!
@@Uncleanablespodcast thanks appreciate it
Great podcast guys! That Facebook post about the obese lady was someone taking the piss. Listing all the annoying shit we put up with! It set the group off! Very funny 😀
no way it wasn't real, kind of happy, kind of disappointed 😂
Was going 4 - 5 times a week. Recently been once every 3 weeks. These roof cleans mess you up 🤣
That's exactly what messed me up first time! Brutal!
