Title: paying a canvasser
Post by: combat1 on September 20, 2011, 05:35:17 pm

Thinking of trying to get a canvasser going.
What is the usual way of rewarding them,  hourly rate or so much per job gained when it pays?
I  thought of offering 50% of the first clean price when they pay, most of my jobs are £10.
Thanks

Don't go hourly !!! Never had a canvasser but for a good one think half of first clean too low ??

If you get a knocking company in then check all the jobs before (that its the stated frequency and they want a regular cleaner) also get a contract in place as to regards replacing custys that cancel after first clean.
