Dave i had a couple of pms with matt about this.He referered to me as being a bit like marmite, i haven't a clue what he meant but i don't think he meant it in a good way.

I had to rebuild my system today, and went to work this afternoon for the first time in five weeks.I feel a bit better now having made a start but my round and business is in a right mess.This was due to bad weather, i'm not imagining the bad weather am i, it's not something the media have made up is it?

I did a short day today, I reckon I've got something like 150 outstanding jobs that I have no hope in pulling back. The only good thing is i just pick an area I fancy working for the day and lump them all together. Gives me a great compact round.
I have some jobs three months behind now, nothing I can do about it

I'm similar. I worked for one week throughout all December. Put my DI cannisters back in the van today, washed my own windows and the neighbours, then cleaned my van with the system. I ring my custies first, which i have done earlier this evening, all is sound !! Only casualty so far apart from my wallet is i lost my RO booster pump to the frost. Looking forward to my first day back tomorrow.

Same here Slumps. Worked 4 days out of 5/6 weeks. BUT my A4 diary is all neat & tidy. Did my worksheets with MS word at the weekend, took about 15 mins all in. Everything back in order now.

Just going to set realistic targets,.. not high , or out of reach targets,

Work to the best of my ability, do a first class job ,  and take it from there.

Ive just got in from canvassing and got another 5 customers.

5 from tonight...8 from last night and 2 from working today.

To me people are not shy at spending any money. Last week i also got a £250 painting job for a customers living room and the £450 for facia, soffit and gutter painting for march.

The work is out there so get out canvassing

Best of luck
Danny

Danny,

Are you canvassing in the dark?

Do you have any tips?

[Danny Guest]

Joe

I just canvass 6-8 doesnt matter what the weather or light conditions. I dont like the slow response from leaflets and i cant canvass in the day because most of my customers work so that would be pointless and im working. Otherwise i havent got any choice to reach potential customers

Theres nothing to what i do i just enjoy knocking doors and keep at it as many days a week as i can. i normally do 3 days a week and will be out again tomorrow 6-8.
