I always find that when I lose a customer, a new one comes along practically straight away.

I dropped a customer last week who told me that she didn't want them cleaned this time. This isn't normally a problem for me, but she watched us clean the fronts before coming out to tell me.  ::)

Since then I have picked up 3.  :)

Been leafleting today and yesterday. Feel a bit down hearted at the moment Tbh. Need more work and tbh give up to easily when I am out there.

Seriously thinking constantly of more ideas. Dont mind walking in the warm, But knocking in the cold is really getting to me.

Chopsie whats the details of your radio add mate? What sort of radio, Cost time frequency etc.

Seems different. Did run through my mind but didnt think it would do any good!!

Sounds reasonable, but she didn't give me the chance. She went straight back in and closed the door. I would rather just walk away and let someone else have the job than to take her money under circumstances such as these.

Ive picked up tuns of custies, just leafleting now door knocking back over them, since the start of the year and am still going. Just like the saying for the national lottery, whats that.

If your not in it you cant win it.

Keep your head up krave, with patients a trickle of water can fill a cup.

Just think every ten pound job is £130/£120 a year, even if it takes five hours to find the job its still worth it.
