hahahaha one of the funniest things I have heard on  this forum

[HampshireWindowCleaning]

There's no pitch needed mate, I've got about 500 customers and most came from simply being asked 'do you need a window cleaner'

[H20cleaning]

I need to get my act together and man up then don't I!
I live in a area were 90% of the window cleaners don't do a very good job.
the local one has 4, how do I put this? smack heads working for him and he has over 1600houses apparently... so if he can do it im sure I can

If you're nervous about canvassing then start by knocking on neighbours when you're cleaning. Pick a couple either side and across the road and go and knock. Take a leaflet, smile and simply say "Sorry to bother you but I've just been cleaning your neighbours house and I wondered if you'd like a window cleaner as well?" Most will say no but it will get you into the swing of talking to strangers.

Some practical advice young man ,

Wear a clean logo'ed shirt /t shirt ,be presentable,  be clean shaven , neat and tidy hair cut,  be polite ,  etc , etc, ask if they would like to have their windows cleaned, if they say no , give them a flyer and say  "in case you change your  mind or if you  get let down by your current window cleaner "

Set yourself a goal of  100 homes ,  adapt and learn from your experience, you never know you may be a natural.

I ALWAYS wear my logo'd tshirts, hi viz and hoodys when working or collecting, I cannot grow facial hair yet    , always polite aswell. Thanks for the suggestions I will try this the next few weeks and report back

just keep it simple, no big speeches, practice in front of a mirror if nervous then practice with family friends etc, then just knock and go for it
