Been out leafleting a fair bit recently and have found about 30% of all doors had "no canvassers, no cold callers" signs on em
Some streets even have no cold callers area written on lamposts
-
Do as nike once said "JUST DO IT ! "
All them signs are meant for is , no double glazing , no religion , no gas electric or water co's

Think you will find those signs are aimed at anyone canvassing or coldcalling that's what there there for,,,but still try most people are friendly enough it's the nasty ones that give u a mouthful we dont like lol
-
noone as ever mentioned the fact they have a no cold calling sticker on the door, infact ive picked up a few jobs with them on and mentioned it myself...
me
"oh sorry i didnt see that sticker on your door"
custy
"oh dont pay attention to that"
which left me thinking, why bother having it there then? ;D
he who darns rodda's... he who dares ;)

the ammount of new windys that are canvassing around here i wont be supprised to see a new sticker soon "ive got a window cleaner thank you" 6 in 3 weeks ive had at my door and custys telling me how many they have had
-
We have had people going round selling the stickers door to door. I was struck by the irony of that one!
The no calling zones are not legally enforcable but you might get some flak. I have always delivered leaflets to no junk mail houses and once had some bloke open the door and shout "Hey can't you read?". But it was only the once.

trippy its your attitude that needs changing!if you think doom and gloom,recession,everybody losing jobs,money being tight,rocketing fuel prices etc,etc then itll infect your whole mind!!!
just knock on if you want more work in that particular area!what have you got to lose!!and be confident!!!there are plenty of people that are not struggling for money and will pay for a good window cleaning service. ;D ;D
i never take any notice of the no canvassing stickers EVER!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

HA HA thats exactly what i do. sometimes i apologise as soon as they open the door and say " sorry i only noticed your sign after i knocked" then give them the reason why im there. everyone seems quite happy with this....

I just ignore the "no canvassers, no cold callers" signs... They are never usually a problem.
If someone at the door does mention it, I just say I'm not selling anything but just leaving a card with them.

cold calling no thank yous may put off pretend canvassers to to pro they mean that the punter is likely likey to have been bothered and often use the sign to my advantage as it can be turned into a bonus for me
