If you can get infront by a week or 2 the quieter times are absorbed but if you get a constant marketing program going then you can keep steadily busy all year round, easier said then done but if you stop leafleting while you are busy then expect to go quieter later.

PS Mark Powell do you still leaflet early in the morning?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

My phone has gone quiet anyone else? I usually get quite a few calls on a Monday but only had 5 which is a poor for the beginning of the week.

9 calls yeaterday, 7 today, nailed a few, quoting a few and passed a few on. september is looking like my best month ever. domestic and commercial steadily increasing, and just had some seo done on my old sight so that should bring more work in in the next few weeks. and referals and repeats have gone mental for some reason, i suppose its cos its been a while now. did a job yesterday who had been referred by 2 different people.

Do you still do the free spray bottles Derek? I was listening to Chris Evans on Radio 2 today and there was a guy on selling a book on persuasion and he gave some good examples, worth a listen on play back.

Two very quiet weeks after my busiest summer to-date, went almost completely dead, hardly any calls which mean't I caught right up and was no longer working in advance. 
But this week has started well.
5 calls yesterday, 3 converted.
4 more today, 2 booked and pricing up the other 2 tomorrow.

Whats the answer  

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I haven't stopped all year, I really could do with a day or 2 off but it's hard to break the habbit and if I do get a day off I've got loads of little jobs to do, I have 10 days booked up infront so plenty of time for the phone to ring.

Shaun, you really should take some time off, go for a drive, even if its in a northerly direction,
take about an hour each way

Booked the one i quoted today,doing neighbour Monday (no don`t go there) Then neighbours mum after that ! Then i have to go and spray odour neaut on carpets that another carpet cleaning company has supposedly cleaned ! For the letting agy i work for,i did tell them to call the company who did them,but they have tried,left messages etc,and they have not called back !
They smell like a mixture of cheesey feet,and wet canine ! I bigged myself up here,i always use odour fresh,and in all honesty i could have got the carpets a damn site cleaner.Not sure hat machine they used,but i think they must have left them very wet !
Brownie points to me though,charging them £50. to go and spray some odour fresh !

Couple of quotes next week,and a couple of jobs booked in,i can start the week with nothing,but end up with work every day !
Need to start saving some money,just booked Yule in Amsterdam ! Oh yey ! Can not wait ! Don`t need to do any family type socialising now,which in my books is great news 

I like this guy, first the neighbor then the neighbor's mom? poope he beats shaft!

yeah working well the old spotter bots, sold one today for a fiver, was cleaning the arms of a suite with my labelled bottle and the cleaning lady was amazed at the food i was getting out, didn't take me long to pursuade her that affordable cleaners spotter bottles were the future.

Yes it certainly has, no pocket money for me this week. I have consigned my carpet guy to helping with an Alarm installation in a Pork Pie factory!
