thats the way to do it mate
all i seem to read lately is threads about to many cleaners /  eastern euros taking over / poope rates
to many winging lazy numptys out there who think the world owes them a living
people need to get of their arse like your doing

Can I ask how you approch people after knocking on their doors is it just a"Hello are you looking for a window cleaner?"
I dont enjoy knocking and find it hard to ask, but when I have done it its very rewarding.

[g newton]

yes thats all i do
i hate doing it
but need must and all that

[colin purewater]

i just say

''hi  sorry to bother you, can i intrest you in a quote for your window cleaning?''


short and sweet, dressed in full uniform ironed and smart
i get loads of compliments on how smart and proffesional i come across

be polite and confident, even if they say no i say ''thankyou for you time''
i had someone come after me after saying no, and then i got a job of them because i was so polite

works well for me

thanks colin

When you say " dressed in full uniform "; is that window cleaning uniform or you dress as a fireman to impress the ladies when they answer the door?

[colin purewater]

Drop the apology ...... its great news your bringing cos theyve been after a window cleaner for ages (thats whats in my head when I knock)

"Hi Im a local window cleaner looking for a few extra customers in this area - can I give you a price / or / do you need a window cleaner"

[Klean07]

The "I'm sorry to bother you" part is a must imo because if they were in the middle of doing something important like watching Corrie or benders for eg you've already said sorry get it??

I went canvassing once. The lady said 'no thanks' I said can I leave my number got the house the daughters house and their offices. The husband called me later cos the wife said I seemed a nice young man. Still got the contract 7 years later. their previous guy was a bit grumpy apparently.
