Title: Success rate in...
Post by: garystevens on February 03, 2011, 03:09:32 pm
What's the success rate in canvassing flyers only without door knocking.
Just done 1000 flyers out in last couple of days , just wondering how many jobs I'll get outta that..

Regards

Gary

maybe 1 maybe 0,maybe 100

its a numbers game in order to get a decent average, if you hit a good area you will get a good return , bad areas where there is window cleaner saturation you wont get much so you probably wanna try drop a 1000 a week, or in lumps of 5000 + to get a decent return,
so if you get nothing  from the 1000 dont think leaflets are no good, just keep at it, also the design might be able to be tweaked to improve your success a little bit

also door knocking if you are desperate for the work will multiply your success rate immeasurably but it is more time consuming and some dont like it

good luck

I last canvassed three years ago in a local town on new builds, customer phoned me up 6 months ago, and got the job. At first she swore blind it had only been 2 months, but then admitted it must be longer :)
