sat 10am-4pm/sun 11am- 3pm.
haircut tomorrow morning,clean logo d uniform ready,clean shaven.clipboard,business cards,leaflets at the ready.
i posted 500 leaflets in 2 hours this morning for my girlfriends shop on a massive housing estate(about a thousand houses,half not built yet!)noticed lots of dirty frames,glass and doors so ill canvass like mad this weekend leaving leaflets at houses where no potential customers in.
ill let you know how i go on lads!! ;) ;D ;D ;D
the only frequency im gonna offer on any new work on this estate is 6 weekly! ;D ;D
-
Me too Daz, but easier for me as I've got a "captive" load of potential custies. ;D They've only got a choice of me or two other guys, so it's pretty easy to canvass here as long as you don't mind door knocking.
If I get a crap result though, and my business starts to slide downhill, I'll try wheelie bin cleaning or dog walking. ;D ;D ;D
Happy hunting mate ;)

Why 6 weekly?

Why 6 weekly?
Best frequency for wfp if you ask me.
Good luck with the canvassing Daz :)

I agree although my work is all 4 weekly with a few 8 weekly.
Do you charge more for 6 weekly?
-
DG the reason why im going 6 weekly on any potential work on this estate is its a bit out of my way and i dont want to be going there every month for (hopefully) a few days work.2 monthly seems a bit long.6 weekly is a good compromise IMO.
apparently there are already 2 window cleaners on there who dont clean frames or doors and will only offer 2 weekly!!YES!!YOU READ RIGHT!!2 WEEKLY!! ??? ???
im hoping to literally clean up on this estate and offer a better quality service and a good frequency for all.
good luck to you all as well that are canvassing this weekend!! ;) :) :)
-
i thought you were already too busy, your new girlfriend must cost you a fortune ;D ;D ;D
-
no ben!i can clean all my 340 customers easily within 3 weeks most months so a couple of good days extra work would be good! ;)
im looking at adding an extra £500 a month to my earnings for 2 days work roughly.
i simply cant look a gift horse in the mouth as i reckon i will do very well on sat and sun! ;D ;D ;D
we ll see this weekend!
girlfriend is worth it mate!just booked an all inclusive holiday for me and her and her daughter and friend!over 2 grand lighter now!! ;D ;D ;D

Good look Daz, Hope it goes well for you, I've been thinking of targeting a few new estates 6 & 12 weekly with a view to charging a bit more.

How do you get away with£150 first clean and £50 6 weekly and £300 first clean when its only £65 6 weekly??
Fair play to you if your telling the truth.

Windows must have been really dirty?
-
I did 2 hours and got 8 on my own. Not too bad.
8x£10 4 weekly.
-
I DID 3 HRS YESTERDAY (FIRST CANVASSING IVE DONE IN 2 YEARS) :o
got 7 @ various rates that equate to extra £65 every month
went and quoted 1 phone call this morning and got that aswell 1 x £75
-
I worked this morning pulled 26 in one street 33 in total mainly £7 fronts. But worked Saturday only 10 funny old game. I think the grand national hurt contact rate
-
did an hour and a half yesterday morning and then sacked it off as a bad idea!! ;D ;D
lots just said they would think about it/need to speak to husband etc,some thought i was way too expensive and one guy said he had been quoted £8 for his 4 bed house with four 3 storey windows and conny on the back(thought my price of £25 was a total rip off!!).
then i had people who just wanted to shut the door before id even finished my first sentence!
i thinks lots were just not bothered as roads not finished off and houses still being built right outside their doorstep!!
then others had a window cleaner who just cleaned glass at a rock bottom price every 2 weeks and were happy with his service!
had one who said he would take me on at £15 every 6 weeks.in the end i decided it wasnt worth carrying on in this area as its 45 mins out of my way.maybe an hour if traffics bad so potentially id lose 2 hours a day just driving there and back!!
im happy with my work overall and ive decided to canvass and leaflet in areas i already work!
at least i tried!think its best just leafleting this area for my girlfriends shop methinks when ive got a few spare hours!! ;D ;D ;D
win some you lose some!!
well done to all you guys that did well with new work this weekend!! ;D ;D
very best wishes

I have no reason to lie. Been after these houses for months. One belongs to a celeb and the other one a footballer. Both had work done on the property and so windows inside and out covered in dust and crap.
-
I had the first 1000 of a ten thousand leaflet drop posted on Friday. Picked 350 in one off conny and gutter cleans and a regular £13 a month job. Not to bad for a 1000 leaflets. They are paid for now as well so anymore work is all free :)

Dont be disheartened daz. New builds are the total worst areas to work now and get your money from, loads of young families who dont care for anything or anyone, many are housing assosiation who havnt a pot to wee in.
