Well last week i had four days canvassing, planned out.

I wrote down the areas where i was going to goto on a bit of paper.

I then set a target to how much new work i would like, so i targetted £200. An achievable figure, not too high not too low.

Well, I had to miss a days canvassing  : so ended up doing three days [2 of those days were just short days] and got £125 in new work.

I reckon if i didnt have to miss that day, then i would have got somewhere in the region of £180 in total..

So this week, i was planning to do the same, however, the car went in the garage today, and wont be out till tommorow     I will still canvass at leats two days though, and my target is a measly £100


Point is, get it down on paper, then you can see how your progressing

Fair play. tried going out today, for my battery to die, and my bonnet not open, a hour latter, broken bumper and smashed grill i was on my way home to prepare for tomo. God knows what the customers are going to think when they see my van.

i wouldnt worry about the state of your van, the customers sometimes want to feel they are helping a hard working lad on there way to making a living. when i got a new van i lost a customer and when i took on staff i lost another couple.

some folk are set in there ways and sometimes it works in your favour to appear hard done by. just looked depressed an gratefull for there custom

Regards,

i was very 'flexible' with my hours   was only really driving between detached houses etc... reckon the most i had done that week was a 4 hour day. Lazy? Maybe, but canvassing gets really boring on your own.

The best day i can recall was canvassing from 9 till about half 3. And I picked up over £120 of new work, obviously i had hit on an area no-one else had tried, wish every day could be like that

first time canvassing last saturday £96 in 1 hour 15 mins.
think i may have lucked into a good area, dont think this will happen again anytime soon but we can live in hope
