There is one thing that the reader of this website needs to clearly understand- that is the fact that you see all the customers on your books only once in three months. Consider the fact that if you have 120 customers on your books then you only need to service 40 customers a month or 2 customers per day.

A normal service on average takes about an hour including travelling time.
