Problem with roundbuilders is they are based way down in Suffolk and I am based north of Leeds.  What do they charge for each client?

Im not going to say a figure, but i would say about 90% of my domestic and commercial work has been provided by them. I have 2 vans on the road now, looking for a 3rd by the end of the year. If you have any questions, your welcome to email me.

Hi
When did you start up?  Was it recently or a couple of years?  Seems to be alot of w/c in this area so I think a professional team to canvass for me would be a good way to get the initial clients on board. 

I've kinda ploughed everything into this so need it to work. Did you do the first clean quickly after the canvasser had got the deal or would it have been ok to leave for a couple of weeks?

Many thanks for your help
Paul

if you can afford to keep them canvassing all the time try to employ your own. since i've done this my success rate has gone through the roof! hardly any cancellations and you get what you want.

Mine are self employed agents. they are responsible for their own tax and national insurance. I simply buy the work from them.

They use my own sign up sheets so i know the right things are being said.

I don't just get names and numbers that most company's supply!!
