Richy,
Have you tried doing it yourself, the first couple of doors are hard at first but after that you will gain confidence and think it is a doddle. ;)
-
dont think that is for me as i dont like having the door shut in my face, haha. i think you have to be quite thick skinned to sell, wot do you think?
-
My first question is do you have a window cleaner, if they say yes then say thanks and leave. No doors shut in your face.
-
knocking can be hard but once u get started it's ok...... sometimes you can get disheartened with it , but when u go out and pick up a dozen houses in an hour it can be a real buzz...
my advice is drive around and find areas you would like to target, and then start knocking about 4pm in the evening or a bit earlier.... your best off talking to the lady of the house ,as they are more likely to say yes ;)
so going at the right time plays a part....plus you start getting to know the custie from the start :)

yeah, know what you mean but i hate rejection when it comes to business.i would rather pay someone to do the job because i think it is too much hassel. i think u have to be suited to that kind of work, and dont think i am. i have had a reach and wash system for around 8 years now and know i havent made the most of it. i have always depended on the yellow pages and yel.com but in my opinion, r very over rated. what do you think?

Bit like finding the sheep in amongst the goats in Taffy's area ;)
In England you have too many window cleaners to choose from in yellow pages, in Scotland you take the phone off the hook as there will only be probably 3 of you. ;D
Get a card in local shops and supermarkets, don't know where you live but a lot of window cleaners also use Gumtree on the web. Do not know how succesful that is.
Or put leaflets on car windows outside shops.
Or put a sign up along the raod.
Loads of ideas to think about.

I pay others to do this for me also, I have in feb a canvsser starting work for us fully time instead of paying others, this way i can mould to what i really want and done the way I want it.
Knocking on doors is soul distroying, if you are not very good it really does paint a very back picture so this has to be thought of before going knocking on a door.
I dont have a problem paying companies out there that do this service I have used a few over the years, i am now am in a position to have someone employed to do it which is great, should have done this long time ago.

well i use yellow pages to advertise.... but i use it as an indicator of where there is a need for a wc...eg if i get a call from areai dont work in , i ask the caller if their previoyse wc has finished etc ... they say yes ,or that there is no wc in the area , i will go door knocking on the neighbours...... so from that one call i could pick up a dozen custies.
so if i get one call a month from yellow pages it can lead to a lot of custies over the year :)
