Attention grabbing headlines

212.0 Post:
Help me with some ideas for a headline, I am working on new designs and focusing on more information and stuff over the flash and coupons, but I am trying to come up with a headline that would get someone to continue reading, any ideas? 

TheEyeball Post: 
So, your headlines have to have "punch in the gut" phrases that grab people, rope them in, and make them want to read more. Punch in the gut phrases describe familiar problems your readers are facing. But how do you know what those problems are? You can probably use...read more

ARE REPEAT CUSTOMERS OVERRATED?

Who do you want to work for? .......that's right, what type of customer?

What size home, what cleaning needs/wants/desires...how much will they spend with you? Lets call this your best & most profitable customer.

For the sake of this example, lets say this best & most profitable customer spends on average $600 with you. And also lets say you were able to develop a Lead Generation system to have this best & most profitable customer delivered to you consistently to keep your schedule full (you buzzkill eggheads out there, save Me all the "what if" this, & "what if" that petty battles you pick. Debate Me on the big picture here. Ok?), My question is...

Does it matter if this B&MPC is a repeat customer?

You may know by now that one of My favorite numbers to track is CPL (Cost Per Lead). Lets say you could have an infinite number of this B&MPC delivered to your inbox/phone lines at $50 per lead...would you deem them as less valuable than repeat custys that cost $0 and averages lets say $300 per job?

Based on this scenario, as an OO and even if I were a multi truck ...I'd say give Me as many B&MPC at $50 a piece as My schedule can sustain.

BUT BASED ON THE EXAMPLE STATED CAN YOU STILL SAY THAT REPEAT CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS THE MOST PROFITABLE?

How would a newb like me get started cleaning windows?

I do a lot of window cleaning. I started out with a bucket, squeegee, scrubber and a few towels. I also hated heights and ladders when starting, but I got over it pretty quickly.

After I landed a few big jobs that ladders couldn't reach I went out and bought a water fed pole. However, I dont think people need to get one until they get jobs that they cant do by hand. Go buy a bucket, squeegee, scrubber, towels and some unger window cleaning solution from home depot and go clean. Super easy.
