have you used any of these chris?

no, but they are the most known developers. generally you have to spend 2* as much as you want to earn from your round and thats up front, u also need to provide or pay for hotel and meals.
Ive used family to help me canvass, my father & uncle have come done who are both in the wc business. So they have been able to quote for me, without me seeing it.

well so far i have had one recommendation, the guy has wasted 2 weeks of my time and gave me one of the above to try instead, the mobile for one of them has been disconnected!!! I have no problem paying 2 cleans just need a company that is smart, polite knows how to price and can get the job done without faffing about! which is why i would rather go to a canvasser on recommendation, at least that was my thinking , i might just have to bite the bullet and go back out myself!!
anyone??

I personally would never use cleaner marketing. There was a big thing to on here a few months back regarding peoples problems with them in their former guise as wcr. The main thing to cut a long story short was that as cleaner marketing we were told that all the problems were due to Nathan Ferry and he had left. Well a few weeks ago they advertised a round in Bristol and Gloucester for sale so I emailed them. It took them two weeks to even reply and then I got this:
The round up in the bristol area is now sold, in answer to your questions below, we do canvass rounds, buy and sell also.
We have alot of experience in the window cleaning industry, the round in bristol was bought and now we are also building on it as of middle to end of this month.
I am in Bristol this thursday if you wanted to meet up briefly for a chat, otherwise we are in your area so to speak later this month.
We can build a round to your liking, exact pricing etc.
Please feel free to give me or Adam a call.
Regards
Nathan Ferry
Now the main thing that interested me was the Gloucester part (advertised as commercial) that didn't (after further probing) actually exist.
What alarmed me the most (and those who remember the topic will understand) is who the email was from. Thats right Nathan! So therefore if they have trouble actually telling the truth about who works for them then I am going to steer well clear. I suggest you do the same.

Get your coat on and do it yourself.

get someone to do it for you and do it yourself , thats the best route regards alan

I have done it myself, if I had the f*££ing time I would do it again, but I dont so am happy to pay someone to do it for me.
I guess everyone else must go out and generate their own business.
has nobody used a reliable trustworthy canavassing company ???

Hi Greg. I can recommend www.roundbuilders.com , but i think they are booked up for domestic canvassing as i want some doing myself! They are doing commercial canvassing for me at the moment, well worth the money imo! :)
