Hi Lee

Good luck to you and your business

Theres lots of advice on other posts on the forum if you have a trawl round :)

The only motivation you need is you, and your desire to look after your family as you have already said you dont wanna go back to a factory

But to get you going,its a numbers game ok.Be polite on the door,clean shaven , clean clothes and a logo,d top if you have one.If you can leave a leaflet thats even better.Just make sure its got a telephone number on it.Ask if they would like a window cleaner and its a simple yes /no answer.If they say no,move on to the next one.Its not personal so dont get offended or downhearted
Plus the weather is good at the moment,so people are always in a better mood

Good luck and all the best to you

Regards

Roy Cauldery :)

If you've been going 10 months and bought work too you should have a fair size round now? Anyway, Ive only canvassed for 4-5 hours in total as I only started last week and I have 3 customers already, and 3 on hold unitll I get a wfp (arkward windows) so there is work out there. What have you got to lose??

Thats good going!! So whats the problem then? 250 customers should = a decent wage.
