« on: September 24, 2011, 04:16:14 pm »
I cant believe how much work is out there if you look in the right places,i am new too window cleaning. was buying  round which fell apart as the guy i was buying from had sold it two months before to another w/c.ended up with about £400 pounds worth of work per month rather than £1100.anyway it was either give up there and then or soldier on which i have.canvassing last night for 1.5hrs picked up eight new customers.last week three hours canvassing six new customers.is this the norm or have i hit a hot spot?

what are your canvassing methods chap?
 ive picked up a couple in the last month and its going well but ive never felt confident im saying the right things - whats your approach after the potential customer has opened their door?
i always ask if they have or would be interested in  having a regular window cleaner - get fed up when they say they have one or arent interested

Apparently a company who thinks they are big knock on the door and say we will clean your windows cheaper than your window cleaner and does it for 2 quid less.
Works for them.
