Title: Buying a recently canvassed round
Post by: Joe Shanahan on July 22, 2013, 10:47:35 pm
Have the opportunity to buy a recently canvassed round for just less than twice the monthly value. 

I have asked as many questions that I can think off such as frequencys, prices, no of custys size of properties etc etc

It's a little bit further than I am used to travelling but not too far, happy to travel there!

Plus side is its very compact work spread over 4 or 5 streets, The only thing that is putting me off is the fact that for slightly more money I could have a canvasser in somewhere to my specific location, but there are no guarantees that it would be as compact as this!

Any extras to look out for?

I'd give it a miss, you will probably lose half after the first clean

If you are buying it make sure you go to every house with the seller!

Its easy to get compact work over 5 streets, if new builds or if an area where few window cleaners work or where a windy has packed in! I find gold patches all the time when regular canvassing.
As windiewasher said goto every house or pay x1 before doing them and the rest on completion.

Yes mate i just logged on and saw! Great cheers for that. I will get hold of her over the next few days and see what can be arranged, i dont want much more commercial but another 5/10 biggish jobs a year would be just what the doctor ordered.

I have a few care homes to quote over the next few days,if I get a few of them I will be happy.Im trying to get as much commercial as possible,might be quoting loads of work for the local housing association too.
 I quoted a school today for 3 times a year,talking to the caretaker and the window cleaner that was doing them takes 2 weeks but the other summer he managed to do it in 6 full days,lol
I would be upset if it took more than 1 day!
