As above; when you're out canvassing do you knock every house, even if the windows are spotless and it would seem obvious that they have a window cleaner?????
I only ask as I find it very hard to convince myself to knock the clean houses on the odd occasion I'm out knocking.
Your opinions please.

i do yes. some times it means they clean their own and are very pernickety. getting someone who cleans frames etc can be a godsend for them.
it's not like every house you knock with minging windows wants a WC is it.
i know when i;m out knocking, and it's not going well, i;ll start to think... there so clean they have a WC, then its... theyre too dirty they wont want one etc etc

I know what you mean; the ones that make me laugh are the minging houses who's owner claims that they already have a window cleaner; Christ, don't they ever cheack their work before paying them lol??????
Oh, hang on, you don't think they could be telling fibs do you lol?????
-
Must learn to spell!!!!!
-
or when theyve got a trad who doesnt clean the frames, and they are completely minging, making the whole window look dirty, but they're just not interested in hearing from you...
arent folk queer

I get 10 a day that you could write your name in tell me they have a window cleaner, used to drive me nuts lol
But in answer to original post, I always knock every single door.... But I tend to find the dirtier the house the less likely they are to say yes....
-
I've got a few jobs where the windows were very clean but the hubby was sick of cleaning 'em so took me on - knock every door as you won't know until you do.
-
Makes me laff when you knock and they say they have a window cleaner when they obviously dont cuz windows are minging.
I ask them lots of questions like how often are they done.
Do they do frames and sills
How much they charge
And i try to not laff while they answer.
Lol ::) ;D

I do yes because the conversion rate is so much better if you get to speak to the people.
I had the dentist today so went canvassing prior to the appointment, picked up three nice jobs at the right money.
After having a wisdom tooth out I did another site but stuck to just posting leaflets as my mouth was out of action!
Sad really, should just have gone home and rested.
-
Yup,every house gets a call wether its good,bad or indifferent
If no one home-leaflet in the box
But we do driveway cleaning too, so even if they got a cleaner , we might get a jet washing job out of it 8)
You never know unless you knock (our other company motto!!)
-
What's your first company motto??????
-
maybe we should all canvass wearing a back pack and carrying a pole and we could do small test areas too prove to the home owners how great us wfpolers are!!!!
