Title: Telemarketing and door2door canvassing
Post by: Aquakleen Restoration Services on April 29, 2008, 09:02:25 am

Hi all
Has anyone tried these two methods of obtaining work? Is it expensive to hire a marketing firm to do it for you?
Many thanks
John

Ive done telemarketing

Averaged Customer per 90 minute session

The problem is leggally you cannot phone best prospects as they are usually registered with Telephone Prefrence Service

Have also done door to door

I can imagine getting jobs and then the customer not being in when you go to clean.

You could always do what big companies do. Have something that your target market want so they ring up or write to you for it. ie enter a comp. or something you are giving away they want.

No one can stop you calling these people, they are probably well match prospects and they are not stone cold prospects either.

You need a degree of patience and organisation, but it is worth it.
