Surely on paper I can have one business and my mate have one business?!

[Steve CM]

If everything is seperate then yes but if your using same equipment, staff etc then no or at your own risk!!

which ever you prefer

[Steve CM]

Who's a dreamer? The guy who's asking about building it up?

It could be done but it does sound easier on paper than it actually is. The more resources you have the easier it is.

[Pope vader]

i hope the guy does it, i think its possbile, as all the lad is doing is knocking, some one else is cleaning,  this is what i was hoping to do, but cant find any one to do the cleaning so i can do all the knocking

Thats when you begin to see where reality starts and idealistic dreaming ends. It always starts out sounding so believable but getting that "someone reliable" to do all the cleaning is where the wheels come off the plan.

My mate, who will be cleaning the windows, has been a best mate for more than fifteen years, he knows the game inside out as he runs his own successful round already, but like so many cleaners, hates canvassing with a passion, where as I'd rather canvass everyday

[Mr. S]

TC - I reckon it WILL work! If you want something enough then trying to reach your goal isnt a bad thing mate! I for one am going to build more this year, my goals arent quite as high as yours, but all being well and if all goes to somewhere near plan i'll achieve somewhere near my goal! It depends on individuals motivation and resources!
I dont think your goals are unrealistic if youve got the time and resources! Dont forget it will be hard work! I am a single dad bringing up 4 boys on my own, 1 is autistic, if i had the time i would set my sights as high as you! GO FOR IT MATE! I WISH YOU MY BEST!

[PURER CLEAN]

Knowing you like i know you mate, i would say if you pick your areas well, you will do it in 8 months.
Just make sure your plan in flawless mate, even if you think it is have a plan B  & dont for get little old me 

[andyjm1]

It is possible, but it all depends on HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT!

If you asked 100 people if they could do it, you'd probably get a whole load of different answers, ranging from easy to impossible.

Now ask those same 100 people the same question, but this time tell them the reward for doing it is a million pounds. I can bet you the answers would be a lot different, with most saying they could do it no problem.

What's changed? The task is just the same but the DESIRE and DETERMINATION of the people involved has now gone through the roof.

So go for it, and if you want it enough you'll achieve it. 

[Crystal-clear]

I would say one good canvasser in decent areas working say 6 days a week should bring in about £1500 a week worth of leads,one offs, and regular customers

on average 45% 50% of what you pick up goes regular ,by regular im saying 3 cleans or more to be honest £750 a week after filtering is a very good result are you able to work like crazy,it will take you at least 6 months because after 3 cleans more drop out i would say constant work taking into consideration time off yes 8 months 10 months by your self you could,

you will need at least 2 cleaners thou, one man cant do it.

[advanced]

every one in ten of those customers  will be good  quality  the other nine  will be users  , time wasters, and messers  good luck

[Steve CM]

1 in 10? you must seriously upset some people 

[advanced]

No in reality  at least 50% good the other half time wasters

[Steve CM]

So that wil be 1 in 2 customers then not 1 in 10

 

[Catherine10]

I think if your determined and focussed - think the sky is the limit.  But its having that mindset...... and discipline - sticking to the plan, good luck TC

[roundbuilder]

Of course it can be done. min price of £20 in decent areas for semi's and small detatched houses.  working 8 till 5 everyday on the glass doing £20 houses day in day out. with canvasser working 2-8 every day.
Even if it takes longer than a year to build up the rewards after are so worth all the stress and sweat.

fair play.

[John F]

sorry ive not read all 4 pages. nothing wrong with ambition. the only risk is hitting too low after setting the goal so high that it could knock you down and cause some people to give up. i make lots of easy to hit goals like 1 new customer every 2 days. easy to hit and at least 15 new customers per month. 15 times 12 means 180 new customers a year. keeps me happy.

good luck with 10.000 in a year.
