I have a mate that is out of work and we are going to start going out this week. I am going to give him £8ph and if he does well slip him a extra drink, Not sure how much the extra drink will be tho.

do it your self. I did after reading the posts here. Spent a nervous hour knocking doors locally, got some interest, leafleted where no one in an had a call the next day to quote! am over there tomorow. Really pleased, it feels like I now have complete control over building my business. Give it a go - after the first door to be honest you realise folks arn't that scary after all ;D

How can you pay them an hourly rate?

Canvasser: "I 've done 8 hours today, didn't get you any customers though as they all said no"

Window Cleaner: "Ok here's £64, see you again same time tomorrow"  :-\

You need to pay them at a fixed rate for the work they bring in. Even then I would only part with my money once I was happy it was a bona fide job.

Not at all, We are going going out together. He is waiting for a job at £7ph so 8 part time is fine by him. I will be doing one side of the road whilst he does the other. So its not as if he is out on his own.

That explains it then  ;) Good luck with the canvassing.

asked the same question of myself
for the agreed amount of work i wanted was going to cost me £7k . i wanted £3000 per month i can do a lot with £7k
giving it to someoneelse was not part of the plan .
been out leafleting the last few days . 1 job £130 a clean
quote tommorrow for a full house clean inside and out end of tennancy in january .
leafleted 2 villages with about 100 houses in each
both jobs in same village doing the £130 a clean job on friday so that was payment for 3 hours leafleting .
looking to leaflet another village b 4 end of week and will  knock them all next week .
giving everyone a chance to call me first .
busy every evening this week with school governor meetings and stuff . so next week knock them all .
bonus as it is the area that i grew up in and money used to stick to me when i was young like a magnet . everytime i had to go fund raising for school, scouts or the brass band i used to play in when i was a lad . so hope it works again .
now we're flying
flipper and pole all the way
