Honestly once you knock the first door it becomes easier as you go. I found the first time I went out that I just about turned round and went home, thinking there must be another way of getting jobs. But having read all the posts about gaining work it is THE most effictive way of getting custies and there and then you can give a quote and deal is done.

The mental block is a natural fear of being rejected...happens to all of us. Having been in sales and marketing for 25+ years i now realise the worst that they can do is say 'NO' to you.
Look at it this way Wezzy32, you will NEVER get a 100% success rate with customers but you may get 30% agreed? So out of 50 doors you know 35 will say 'no' and 15 will say yes...every time you get a 'no' that one less off your 35 people and it brings you one closer to the next 'yes'!
I have been rejected more times than i care to remember but i have been said 'yes' to things i never thought i would. Thats why im a bald, chubby, arrogant, bad tempered 41 year old with glasses and my missus is a sexy 30 year old brunnette...i asked her and she said 'yes', i never thought she would look at me twice but i wasn't worried if i was rejected by her!
Dont give up...you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Crikey Baldy any chance you can help me canvas?

Its a numbers game as everyone has said, nothing at all to be frightened of.
Just remember that every yes is income for a long time, I recently treated myself to a new phone on pay monthly, I feel good with the phone and one new customer pays for it.
The best way to approach the door knocking is to say something along the lines of ' hi, my name is ... of ...cleaning. Do you have a window cleaner at present?
If they say yes then I thank them and move on, if not then I briefly explain my service, cost, frequency etc and a lot of times sign them up.
Remember the more doors you knock the richer you will be.
Good luck
