First few weeks and....
« on: October 28, 2004, 06:47:58 pm »
Not going to badly at the moment - although I know this is a busy time of year I have three 3bedroom houses 1 flat and one 4 bedroom house lined up for this week.  All this is through telesales. (I'd never buy anything over the telephone personally) but hey!)

I got my first set of leaflets from tradeprint today and managed to deliver around 300 this evening.  I didn't realise it was such an art form.  I had visions of my leaflet floating from the letterbox onto the carpet like an angel from heaven.  However 9 times out of ten I have trouble getting them through the letterbox without completely screwing them up.  Then it took me about 10 houses to realise that I had blood dripping from my knuckles onto the leaflets.  God only knows what the householders must think when they get a blood stained leaflet through the door.

I think I may approach the local paperboy for a bit of work experience


Still you live and learn

In the early days, we were both out leafleting and I suddenly heard a scream from my other half who was stood with his hand in a letterbox attached to a dog on the other side!

There are some that bark like crazy and hit the door with a force to make the house shake and other silent ones with jaws waiting for a finger to reach an inch too far!

Better the leaflet is a little crumpled than your flesh.

Keep at it & Good Luck,
