Hi All.
First may I say how great it is that even established people in this industry are still willing to take time to offer advice and guidance to others. Top Blokes
I sam in a more fortunate position than most new posters on here in that I have a job as a London Firefighter and so am looking to have this job as a second income as wife has had to give up work and We need to cover the loss. So although I know there are lot of people on this site who need the advice for a much more serious make or break means, I still would very much appreciate some help, as I really want and now need to start earning some extra cash.
Obviously given my job I am comfortable with ladders and I have been practising on my own windows using different techniques I have read about, but my main concern is about how to start. The idea of knocking on doors is a very daunting one and I was hoping that leafleting would get enough business to make a start, although after reading lots of threads on here I am now not so sure. Is leafleting say200 doors still a feasable way to generate a starting round.
I also dont want to step on any toes so dont wamt to appear as if i am touting for other peoples business by door knocking. I live in the Nirth Kent area and there are a lot of little villages dotted around here, as well as larger towns so my hope is that I can still find people who are without a window cleaner.
I guess my main concerns are, how to start generating business?, Best places to get leaflets made up? and best places to get equipment?
ANy help on this matters or just advice on how other people started and things to know or look out for would be greatly appreciated and once again, well done for all the help and advice you guys dish out on here, priceless to those getting it.
Cheers
Ryan
