Whilst on holiday finally decided to go for it and grow business.
From reading about others experiances decided to do it slowly.
Just took on Bobs lad Anthony for 2 days a week, currently get through rounds in 20 days on me own so with new part timer I rekon will be doing it in about 16 / 17 days ?? ??
That will then give me hopefully about 4 days a month to get out there canvassing and leaflet dropping.
When it grows then look at Anthony doing 3 days a week.
Your thoughts please ?
My hourly rate with a helper is about 55% more than on my own, though remember that it takes time to get up to speed.
If you have your guy eight days out of 20, then by that measure you should do 12 days' work in those eight days, so your estimate is pretty much bang on.
If you want my honest opinion, get someone leafletting for you. I pay a couple of people £6 per hour self-employed and they generate a steady flow of work while I'm out cleaning. Works out at about 5p per leaflet, which still makes leafletting the cheapest way I have to gain customers. They do between zero and ten hours per week.
