Most Legitimate Reasons to Cancel a Window Cleaning

“My house burned down”

“my husband was laid off, we need to cut back our expenses”

“My child made the international championship of a sport, we will be out of the country”

Rebuttal at the door… I’ve got a family member who does Windows too, we use him.

A couple a weeks ago I was told: “To my surprise my son and neighbor cleaned my windows during our vacation, but we’ll definitely use you in the future.”

^^ This one happened to me earlier this year. 'Cept it was a new construction, and nobody bothered to call me. I showed up to see an empty lot with a dumpster and a bulldozer cleaning up the charred remains…

“My 17 yr old granddaughter was killed in a motorcycle accident the day before yesterday.”

Except she didn’t call to cancel, I found out when I got there. We cried on the front porch together. Such heartbreak…

I am not making this up. I scheduled a client. Then two weeks later she calls and tells me the housekeeper accidentally cleaned all the windows. I knew she was lying. This house took me 8 hours in/out. Needless to say she will never get back on my schedule.

“One of our dogs just had surgery and we need some peace and quiet around here. I’ll call you in a couple months”

^from one of my favorite customers. I hope the dog is able to make a full recovery :pensive:
