I will give a tip.
If you are canvassing for domestic work only canvass in the evening or the weekend. the customers you need will be working.
A freind of mine as just moved 60 miles away to Manchester. He still travels back to do his work which only takes 2 days.
Hes staying in Manchester for 6 months, but just out of intrest and curiosty he thought he would try canvassing some domestic work down there. The first house he canvassed he quoted this chap £15.00. Well he could not beleive the mans reaction, he was nearly Manhandled of the mans Premises. The guy went bonkers saying the last w/c only charged a fiver. So my freind said where his he then?
He was a bit shaken up by the mans response and wondered if w/c were really doing the windows to cheap down there. He calmed himself down and decided to carry on. Two hours later he had £240 of new work. In fact after that first house he picked up the next twelve houses in a row. He says all the work is a doddle,"I can go really slow and still earn £40 an hour.
So the moral of the story is dont ever give in because you never know when things might look up.
