yeah we are ticking over nicely.

never have done any door knocking what so ever - honest.

i dont really like it, feels like im begging (just my view tho!)

i cant see a good % of door knocked customers being good long standing or not messing you about with payment or 'not this time!'

im sure you can get a few but i did say a good %.

like i said never door knocked and the business is moving forward at a good pace without it.

Hey Doctor
Im doing great! Today i cleaned the 14 i got on saturday and picked up another 3 whilst cleaning taking my total to 17 priced @ £8-£12 every 4 weeks.
I only canvassed for 1-2 hours on saturday and did rather well. There are still houses on the estate that i havent seen yet so im looking forward to seeing them.
I have also had phone calls today from 3 people who have been reccomended to me by some customers so i will be pricing them up next week.
I was planning on employing a canvasser but im easily picking up 15-20 customers per week and because i clean mostly fortnightly i am now moving all of my round to 4 weekly just to be able to clean them. I already employ one man full time but im not looking to employ any more workers so when i get to breaaking point i will be looking to sell a days worth of work.

I could but i want the income  :)

I have another business and i need a good level of income to finance it so by changing to monthly and increasing the prices i am able to service more debt and in the long term earn more per month
