Hi all Im planning on stating out in the next couple of weeks & wanna know how many hours a day were you canvassing & how many customers you were getting? I was thinking of trying to get 10 a day, is that too high or am i dreaming? Any help would be appreciated, cheers Mike

Just a question of plodding on everyday...believe me(for what my opinion is worth) you will succeed...just keep telling yourself that in 3 years you'll have a very, very worthwhile business...but in the meantime each and every customer you get will be money in the bank ;D ;D

Goodluck
Dave.
