Title: Making the most of downtime
Post by: king marko on June 08, 2012, 02:58:07 pm
Only managed 3 jobs today due to the adverse weather so thought I'd be a little more constructive than usual and try and make the most of the time on my hands :)

Called on several customers with outstanding payments due and managed to collect nearly £80 so far - also did a little bit of canvassing/leaflet dropping whilst out in a village whilst out collecting and picked up a £12 monthly clean

It's the first time I've ever really bothered when it's bad weather but it's been fairly productive!
 
Who else bothers when you find yourself with a bit of unexpected time on your hands??

What's the deal with ionics chap? Are they reasonable? Was looking to upgrade at some point so might be interesting option
