i live in essex, just off the suffolk border. ive been a windy 4 just over 20years. & ive been thinking
of starting up another business that i can work along side the windys. & canvassing seems 2b the best choice. if i go ahead & set this up would any1 round my area be interested in me canvassing 4them?
it would b on a X2 clean :). & yes i do know how 2 price ;D
-
I would have thought that if you've got spare time you'd be better off canvassing up better quality work for yourself and dropping the lower priced work.

I assume this is a response to your bad back, good for you. I think its a very good idea.
I for one would be interested as I think its important to have someone who knows the job, pricing is a dificult thing to get right.
I am having a real problem finding someone to canvass for me. they usualy bottle out at the last minute.
would you be prepared to travel? I think I am about 1.5 - 2 hours from you.
If you decide to go ahead give me a shout and we can talk.

I would use your service, but I live in West Sussex :'(
-
would you be prepared to travel to Ipswich?? How much would u charge per hour to canvass? Plus how many hours a week would u look for?? Cheers
-
would of thought this would of got alot more positive results than this ??? ::) either people
have done a really poop job at this in the past, n messed u guys around badly.
or its not the way windys expand there rounds :-\ interesting :-\
-
I think that some people are a bit sceptical and maybe think that they will lose some of the work they have just paid for.
Then the money side of it. Some don't have the necessary funds available.
Don't be put off though, with your experience im sure you would do a good job and put peoples fears and past experiences to rest.
Go for it!! :) :) :)
-
hitman go for it lad
-

yes i will travel 2 ipswich, its only just down the road from me.
& i would only get paid on the work that i get in.
eg: if i got u a £15 job it will cost u £30 :) plus i will b tryin 2get 1st cleans with as many jobs
as poss. eg: £15 job + 1st clean £20/£25. works out 2b very good all round. dont u think??? ;)

get knockin then Gazzasp8 ;D y do u think im lookin at.... ::) ::) ::)
-
y do you think im looking at ??
You said the west midlands is too far...
not for a grand it aint ??? ::)
-
with expenses included its still a decent pay out anywhere. ;)

maybe in ur eyes, but wot about the over heads. im tryin 2keep running costs low 4the best
deal 4the windy & myself..... funny that ;D
-
in my eyes lol..
been canvassing 20 years...
yes keep the costs down, ...but you are the one who said x2 cleans for the windy ...
50 calls is nothing is it...? so a w/c would pay that if he wants you....
and you would get a grand.. whats funny about that... 200 quid in expenses , max!
and you are £800 better off.!
You should get ten call per day.... so not a bad weeks wage.
Why you choose to mock what i am trying to say is a mystery.
-
We are in warwickshire and would be interested, I have been looking for someone for months
-
Gazzasp8, shall we start this again? i 4 1 aint interested in tit 4 tat. is there any chance we could talk
so so i can pick u brains ;D
-
We are in warwickshire and would be interested, I have been looking for someone for months
maybe gazzasp8 can help u C/W/C. im just lookin 2start up local. if it pans out well i will
travel all over the uk ;D
-
I would consider it in the near future, Don't forget most of us have had a battering on available funds with the weather recently which would probably explain the slow response.

from here on in :-\ ;D

Ok i would be more than happy for you to get us say £100 of work and i would pay u £200,just to test the water so to speak. This way,if pricing is good etc,we can talk about more canvassing etc. Can you explain what u mean with regards to first time clean?? Are u saying for example that a £15 job,you would say for the first clean(we would clean i assume)that you would charge £25 which would in effect would be a (66.6% to be exact ha ha) return on what i pay you???? so a £15 job,you get and intial clean is £25,then i only after first clean,owe you a fiver. Ok if so,sounds good. Can u give me your email?? Cheers.
-
£15 job..... 1st clean @£25, 2nd clean @£15. total 4 the2 cleans= £40, u only pay me £30.
so on ur 2nd clean ur in proff by £10 ;D that sound better? my email is on my profile m8 ;D
-

sum canvassers bin pure slated on ere but wiv u being wc
most wud be ok i think its a goer
-
guess i will just ave 2 wait n c :-\
-
id think canvassing would be tiring on the feet. might pay to invest in one of those invalid buggies you see around. theres one model in particular thats very fast,i see various folk use these looks as if they hold the brakes as the takeoff is quick.
-
I will defo give you a go,as i say i am in clacton so not far from you.I have used many canvassers with mixed results but allways willing to try another...
What's your cancellations policy...ie if the customer cancels within certain time do we get replacements?
I wouldn't mind giving you a trial run for a day in the next couple of weeks if you are interested. :)

how to make friends and influence people eh? :-\
my friend you may have thought you were being clever or funny but in my humble opinion I think most times it backfires
for what it is worth I have bought work from Paul and found his integrity to be unquestionable..immediately answering any queries and extremely friendly .. so it is a shame to see a negative posting..he is extremely well thought of by his customers that I have taken over due to his bad back...
so I can understand why he is trying to go down the canvassing route and having met him I think he will do very well
I for one, would be happy to use him :)

here here n so say all of us ;D ;D

Hey come on now. I hope you're not including me in that. It's not my style at all. I was just having a little lighthearted banter with Hitman.
BTW. I'm in West Green. Just a thought but if we ever wanted different areas canvassed by Hitman maybe, just maybe, he could earn a little more if the expenses were shared. I tend not to look for work too locally anyway due to the very high proportion of terraced houses with no rear entrance. I'm not ready for that yet but maybe it might work at some future time? Honestly, I'm not a malevolent literacy nazi :) . As long as a canvasser can present themself reasonably well, I really couldn't give a damn what their spelling is like. Apart from that, I don't doubt that there are plenty of things Hitman can do well that I would struggle with.
