canvassing £250+ of work PCM
« on: January 09, 2011, 02:48:31 pm »
Hi guys .


I'm in the process of taking some guys on and having a team of five canvassers with a goal of 50-100 customers per calendar month (20 customers per month per canvasser) .....

going off Dr Windows - if the canvassers were each to reach their target of 20 houses PCM at the cheapest clean DR Windows will have £700 worth of work per month.


Is there anyone who would be interested ?

that was just a figure i chose as it works out 1 new customer a day ....

id start it off with 20 a month and then i would increase it to 25 , 30

20 a month would be minimum.

Will you be paying them hourly? if not how will they make a living? Commision rates would have to be very good for only 20 jobs a month.

If I was looking for more work I wouldnt have any qualms about paying a canvasser (if the terms were good) and I recieved an invoice for money paid out

I'd be interested in employing a canvasser or 2 at those rates.

I'm in Lancashire.

it WILL be national IF it works but you cant blame an 18 year old for trying :P

Ive got to have a few more meetings with a few people yet to get a few things confirmed and sorted then itll be all guns blazing.

You still need to run that business though Mick. You could canvass that work but you still need to be able to clean them and keep the dusty happy


Just a thought ;)

Hi richard

Ive just canvassed 44 new customers last week at £6 per fortnight. I was lucky to find an estate where the window cleaner hadnt cleaned since last september but ive done very well.

Im employing a canvasser over the next weeks with a target of 40 customers per month. I will also be canvassing and also looking for 40 customers per month from myself. The plan is to get as many customers as possible before april and drop the pain in the arse customers.

If my canvasser doesnts reach 10 a week target which is easily achievable he will be replaced. I will be paying them £10-£15 an hour and will expect towards 15 customers a week for that money. I will be keeping the customers for myself and will need to employ more cleaners but i will be expanding MY business not someone elses.
