Working Saturdays very positive!!
« on: October 02, 2012, 03:28:37 pm »
I've worked last two Saturdays mainly to catch up due to weather and holidays. However I've picked up loads of new work from people being inquisitive when I'm in their street!! I picked up approx £150 worth of new work!!
Anyone else find this?

Yes, Saturdays can be good as more people in, saves any canvassing.

I think a walk up is someone who approaches him while he is working.
He seems to be taking work off the local water fed bloke, if I've read it right.

Mainly town houses on 8 weekly some are quarterly but hey at £100 a pop i dont care. Just got in but was well worth it, Did my best sunday ever today between 2 of us. 17 houses but 4 were just fronts 2  were insides where i charged double though with 4 new customers generated from recomendations. Only 11 were in though but all paid who were about. Lovely jubly :-). Roll on december's cleans.(please dnt snow).

yea sundays and saturdays are the best days to work (only for first cleans) repeat customers sometimes wont be chuffed especially the through the house jobbies sunday dinner or saturday family round then we march through the house aint great! but on a first clean its no problem!
