I will go out and knock and book in say 150 for next day, you then clean them the next day, say 2 cancel on the day or overnight at 10 each. You then pay me 130. In 4 weeks time you clean them again, and only pay for whatever cleans again.  So you only pay for the customers that stay on. The only other extra are expenses on the day.

These are non negotiable as i am waiting to be paid and have a load of extra work checking cancellations etc...

You wont buy cheaper work anywhere....

So you expect a window cleaner to work for three months for nothing then they inherit about 50% of the work you canvassed but they haven't had to fork out anything except fuel and maybe hotel room. As long as your not coming down in an artic lorry and not expecting to stay in the presindetial suite in the Crowne Praza I think it works out a better deal than a mass leaflet campaign or buying existing work. I'd be up for that.

You only have to clean it twice so in 4 weeks we all square, you will generally retain over 50 percent longer than a year....

My expenses are fuel and a bed if necessary lol...

Was about to say. For a canvasser you aren't giving us much in the way of contact details. I've got my website on here but I don't think I'll get many people calling from here for their windows done.

What would you expect to pick up in work for a days canvassing? Do you have targets that you usually achieve?

If you look back through the posts i have only just decided to give this a go, i built and sold my own round last year so i do know what i am doing. Just tried to put email in profile and not sure it worked or not. Will add my website at bottom. I have also enquired about advertising for business on here....

I am going to give this 100% and make this work for all people involved...

All contact details are on my website shown at the bottom....

Just for the record we would aim for 150 a day between 2 of us....

You know what I would be up for it. I'm saving up for a system for my van and to get it wrapped then I would be well up for it. If I could work out your expenses that would make it so easy to work out how often I could afford to get it done.

I'm guessing around £80 for fuel and then a room in a hotel?

Where are you? Will work out the mileage and let you know exactly and whether it would be better to stay over if you want more than a day at a time. Would suggest you only have one day at a time to start....

I'm on the Wirral mate. I know what your saying about one day at a time first. I'm thinking along them lines but I've really sat down and gone over and over the price of advertising so I was doing a quick work out in my head of what it would cost long term as well as getting bits and pieces done in the near future done.

You are looking at 60 a day in fuel, but thats your only outlay really as you can pay my bill with the money you collect...

All you need is a spare day and three crisp 20 pound notes lol

Yes it was me but was trying to start with a clean slate and do things differently...

I want to now do things how they should be done, had more problems than you will ever know but i am sure all you judgemental people who dont even know me have already made your mind up.....
