Title: What do you say?
Post by: rg1 on February 06, 2010, 04:59:46 pm: I would appreciate some advice on whats best to say to people when door knocking.

My own patter goes something like this:

Hi, my name is Rob and I am a local window cleaner. Would you like your windows cleaned on a regular basis?

If yes or undecided I then say: I can give you a quote now to tell you how much it will cost.

Does this sound okay to you guys? or is there a better way of doing it?

Thanks
Rob

1. If you are not comfortable with what you are saying then DO NOT SAY IT.
I feel comfortable with the following ( Short and Sweet )
Hello I am a window cleaner trying to extend my round.
Do you have a window cleaner ?
If Yes then I say sorry to have bothered you.
If no then I say would you like one ?
They either say yes or no.

Fact went out friday door knocking from 10am till 4pm 24 new customers
This works for me.
I don't always get that many though

No it is not the norm.
Door knocking is hard work but most times I get about 6 new customers.
I am in west Sussex.
I just keep on by thinking every new customer is between £60.00 and £120 per year.
Keeps me going
