Hi mate,
Have been where you are now. I wish you all the best. I was 'fortunate' enough to be made redundant, so was pushed into getting my bum into gear.
Try and keep your costs low. I have bought flyers, I can tell you, I had far more success where I live with ones I made on the computer myself, and hand cut with scissors. Customers could see I was trying and wanted to reward efforts with custom.

Keep you eye on this.

From what I have read I think it will be just what you need. I have one the same as well as van syatem. Sometimes its a real time saver.

Email, facebook or message me any time, and I will help with any advice I might be able to give.

Good luck.

Hi
In kent you should be able to average 10 quid a job, if you need 1000 a month to survive you need to pick up 5 a day. You should be able to clean these in a morning and then canvass all afternoon till you have your next 5....

Its not so hard when you break it down....

I canvass all over the uk for window cleaners and I know this will work if you put the effort in.

If you need any advice on canvassing just let me know and I dont mind spending some time on the phone with you....
