"Why can't you give me a time three (or four or five) days before our scheduled winterization day?"
At this point in the season, I have performed ~600 blowouts since September 21. Yesterday, between Castle Rock and Parker, there were 44, and it took my assistant and me 10.5 hours. Today in Castle Rock, we will perform 48. Early in the season, I text my clients from the past year to remind them and set the schedule. I also receive many new requests from new clients throughout the season. I also juggle landlord and property manager systems to handle their properties.
Here is a glimpse of my winterization days: I am up at about 5, organizing the schedule days away by calculating the route and arrival time, checking unread texts (IF I do read at the time, it is reset to "unread" until I am in front of my schedule so I do not lose the communication), etc. While doing the blowouts, I field some incoming texts, which increased significantly because of the impending freeze. I start texting clients at 7, then head out at 8. I get back to the office between 6 and 7, eat something, respond to and send more texts, more scheduling until about 10-11, shower/brush teeth, then sleep. For five weeks, that is my daily routine.
It is a super busy time and I appreciate you!
