Good luck

Ask your 8 weekly november customers if they's like a special clean in the week before xmas. A few of them might like the idea giving you a bit of extra work and tips  (hopefully)

why did you go for 8 weekly???

[Smudgeoff Cleaning Services]

I just offered a service of 4 & 8 weekly...
I don't know is the honest answer.

darren

dont offer 8 weeks from now on,  just say its about every 4/5 weeks,

get out knocking

Darren,

Try to work out how much you need to earn each week, and keep knocking doors until you have more than enough customers to cover this. There is work out there just waiting to be found, and if you are determined enough, you will find it.

Try to keep a positive attitude, and try to be relaxed and friendly when you are speaking to potential customers.    

Just out of interest, how long have you been window cleaning?

£220 is not too bad, maybe a few more custys would help though 

[Kwackers]

Build an email list/address list and offer gutter/conserve cleans

John started in December so 10 months

the simple answer is you need more work!!!if you live at home with mum and dad then you should be ok with a another £100 a weeks worth of work but surely you dont have you own place?

leaflet and canvass as much as you can when not working (which should be most of the week!)and ask existing customers do they know anyone who wants a cleaner.

the only positive thing i can say is that you ve got plenty of space to build more work up and you shouldnt ever get behind at present!!

get pounding those streets mate


best wishes

keep cavassing leafleting etc
but if you feel you need more cash over that period get a part time job to see you thro a couple of days a week most of the big companies hire xmas staff tescos post office etc

sell the work you have for 20 times it takes a month . might get 18000. enjoy the winter lounging about . then go back out in february and canvass it back up. 

[Viktor]

My first winter as well.
Have been going from May and have only over 120 customers, I am afraid that percentage of that might say "come back next year"
I  canvass every night to get things better.
The problem is, that I have family, daughter to support. Hope things gonna be fine.

ect ect ect .... u get the idea

however nowt wrong with taking a part time early morning job till round is full.

When I first started my round I worked a local frozen food warehouse from 4am till 9am @ £6ish an hour 4 days a week

Brought in about £500 a month and was tiring but soon stopped my having any "cant be bothered to canvass" thoughts as I hated the early starts and like I say was tiring doing that then onto cleaning windows but u gotta do what u gotta do to bring the coin in

I had to start my business back up from scratch 3 years ago; Im still canvassing.

Cirrently got about £5k to do this month, most are bi-monthlies so I need to canvass for next month like you too.

Its a hard slog, forget the next 2-3 years of going out enjoying your time with family & daughter; its a nuckle down approach im afriad.

Good luck

[dazmond]

if i was earning 5 grand a month i wouldnt be canvassing!!how much money do you need??
