Title: How quickly should it grow
Post by: jaykie on January 25, 2009, 07:51:38 pm

I started in May, straight off with a 650 ltr wfp set up, I have on average 120 custys a month which Ive gained mainly from leaflets and recomendations, now ive started a new year how much extra work would I normally get from now as i have a customer base so recomendations should be extra plus im going to put out 10,000 leaflets that are being delivered to me Tuesday then a distributor will be putting them out for me over a week or so.
How well did you do going into a new year?

 January and February are the best times for getting qualiy customers.

  I think growth will be slower at the moment, but if you are actively seeking work it will grow much quicker.

  I personally am not looking for new work as I bought another part round of quality work from a retiring window cleaner yetserday.
 
  I now have to concentrate on keeping my customers well serviced, I have approx 550 domestics on a 5/6 week round.

i have a good established round, but my minimum target of growth is 5 customers a week,
i dont like  growing too quickly as first cleans take a lot longer!

i went door knocking today and had 8 new customers ;D
