Hello Sir-Madam can i leave you one of my window cleaning leaflets,i`m cleaning in the area and was wondering whether anyone else required a window cleaner.The chances are if they like the look of you they will at least ask you to quote and more often than not you get jobs on the spot.

i have never done door knocking but if you already have a customer base i would start in those roads you could the open with something along the lines of hello im..... i clean the windows regularly for your neighbour at number x and wondered if i could interest you in a quotation to have your windows cleaned

Hello there I am from window washers, we clean window in this area and are expanding in this road, do you have a window cleaner at the moment?
if they say yes: ok sry to have troubled you, this is our card incase you ever need our services.
if no: we are giving quotes today would you like a quote for your house~?
either way you will get an answer.

Hello, nice to find you in,
My name is ........ from GQC Window Cleaning, and we are looking for new customers in this area, and I was wonderimg if you'd like to have your windows cleaned on a regular basis.
If they say yes, ask them if it's okay to have a look at the property, then knock again and give them the price.
Something a long those lines.
AND SMILE, that's the most important thing, even if they say no, or are rude.
And always wear your ID badge with photo, just make one on the PC.
Well shaven, properly dressed, white t-shirt and good jeans will do, don't have to wear a tie.
Hair sorted, no chewing gum, and no hands in your pocket.
Carry a leather folder, with new customer form ready to fill in, on the other side, your cards and leaflets, I've had many people say how professional I look, and really something else. They were very impressed.
That's the way to do it, do all those points, not just one, and it will all come together. Be polite, respect peoples property. No spitting on the ground lol.

You tend to find that your own words sort of develop by themselves. You can try writing a script but after about ten houses you will be doing it you way.
mine is
Oh Hello, I'm Vince Green the local window cleaner. I do quite a lot of houses in this area andI wondered if you would like yours done as well"
-
Knock Knock.
"Hello Madam (or Sir), I was just passing and couldn't help but notice how filthy dirty your windows are...they're letting the entire neighbourhood down...How can you live in such squalor you disgusting pig. Here's my card, give me a call when you want me to clean the windows in your hovel."
Then run like hell ;D
-
A while since I Door knocked ???
But this is my line:
Hello, I'm David Salkeld. I do a regular window cleaning service in the area. I wondered if you would be interested?
Replies:
No thanks we've already got one.
OK sorry to bother you
How much?
Can I walk round and give you a quote
Yeah we have, how much do you charge?
Sorry sir/madam, I don't undercut, no point in that
Often leads to; Yeah well he's not very good, thinking of changing
Well have a word and try to sort it, but here's my price and card.
David

I think David has pretty much got that spot on
ALSO
I am a big guy and can be quite intimidating I always and mean always step back from the door as they open it as so not to mess with their space
seems to work as most are willing to chat always end with thanks for your time even if you do not get the custie they will remember you being polite
-
im quite a small guy but i still like to step back from the door. it might be an elderly lady (usually intimidated by youths) or some big guy who intimidates me
it also it gives them "personal" room, so they feel more comfortable.
i usually like to mention the word "regular"
because i've noticed that people in the area have had problems with W/C's saying every month and turning up every 3-6 months
(or just the once).
"window cleaner" is also a good word to mention ;D
-
Always have an old rag over your shoulder and a f*g hanging out of your mouth lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D oh and 2 buttons missing off of your shirt with your belly showing. ;D ;D ;D

lol ;D That sounds like me.

You don't want your windows cleaned? OK sorry to have troubled you. By the way, do you fancy a quick one before the old man gets home?
For those of you who think this is a joke then you never met my mate Steve who I started window cleaning with 35 years ago.
