Good work is not cheap and cheap work is not good.
It will be difficult to top this one!
I know it will, but this thread is hopefully gonna get people to come out with some pretty neat sayings they have heard or come up with over the years. Mine was just a saying not to be the best; what can you come up with what are some of your favorites? Anything at all…
“We use new rubbers on every job”
" All we ask is that if you have anything large or valuable in front of a window that you kindly move it. We ARE fully insured, but we dont want to find out what happens if something gets knocked over"
Got this one from a fellow WCR member (can’t remember who): When asked how I got into window cleaning, I reply, “I learned it while I was in prison for home burglary”. I definitely won’t use this on every customer, but with the right ones, they bust up :D.
Sometimes the unsaid speaks louder than words so I’m going with “the laugh”.
This is “the laugh” that combines irritation, annoyance and a dab of customer service when someone says “you missed a spot”.
i have laughed to that stupid comment for 17 years and it still amazes me that people think that’s clever. I always laugh though 
“Practice safe window washing, always use a rubber!”
In regards to service
If you want it good and cheap it won’t be fast
If you want it cheap and fast it won’t be good
If you want it good and fast it won’t be cheap
“You can’t buy happiness.
But you can buy clean windows . . . and that is pretty close”

If something is pointed out that needs to be re-done, my favorite response is “We do things nice because we do things twice!”
“Thank you for your check.” It’s the best part of every job.

Hey Alex,
That was from me. I have used that line a few times when I go on an estimate. Usually they are a referral from another client. Once I see they have a good sense of humor… I will use that line.
Recently my girlfriend and I got engaged. I have been telling my clients the good news. And they ask me… “So when is the wedding?” I tell them… “We are not sure yet, it depends on when she gets out of prison.”
I just like to make people laugh! I love seeing their reaction! Priceless!
Another “original saying” from passersby: “There’s a red minivan out in the parking lot…”
“Yes yes I know…Your great great Grandma used vinegar and newspapers…”
“no”
(reply when someone says “can you come do my house next, haha?”)
"we better reschedule, it looks like it’s gonna rain . . . " (now, today, tomorrow, this week, this month, next month, this year, next year)
quit listening to chicken little the weather newscaster who has to make stuff up for a crisis or he’s gonna get fired
“sooooo, what kind of soap do you use?”
I just tell people we can’t reschedule for up to 3 weeks when they start the rain dance. Seems to work. And it’s about the truth.
