what are your latest buisness plans , in light of the financial climate?
i am very fortunate so far, iv only lost half a dozen, but gained about 70 in tyhe last year :)...up untill recently its mainly been through the media that i haver heard about people losing jobs etc... but now its happening in my local area, people being cut to 4 days, being expected to work overtime for free etc....i hear a different story virtually every day... >:(
i have said before , our ideal customer should be the retired , mortgage free, children left home types, that wont be that affected.... teachers nhs types....
i have noticed day time canvassing catches these type of customer....YES the majority are out in the day, but if you knock on nice size houses , that look wel looked after during working hours in the day , you will find these recession proof customers (most of the time)l!!
my goal therefore to prepare is canvass , canvass , canvass.....now before things get really bad.... >:(

my plan is to clean loads of windows for money and i am not telling how i am going to achieve that ::) oh well maybe a hint it involves knocking more doors, stop worrying about weather and just get out there ;D

Easier said than done>>>> but the whole point is to earn more for doing less.
My view of this is:
Make round more compact.
Try to take on better priced jobs.
Use a second person to make profit.
Also i like large jobs , no moving about wasting time . Time = ££££
