This is my target for 2012

[Pope vader]

yes, very hard work, but possible, 

[Blue Frog Systems]

Depending on alot of things yes ...

1) Team of canvassers who know how to price right
2) Team of leafleters to prep the area
3) Team cleaning and know what they are doing
4) The areas - probably where i am would be a 15-20 mile radius

[Small but perfectley formed]

No not in 12 months unless you had a lot of money to invest in door knocking

[Pope vader]

No not in 12 months unless you had a lot of money to invest in door knocking

i think it could,  you knock every night and all weekends,  and have 2  or you and 1 person cleaning, from 8 am,  you would be knackered, but it could be done

[BVC]

judging by your choice of expression icon I would say no.

This is my target for 2012

So, you're looking at a turnover of £120K per annum (at 10K per month).

And you want to get this in one year.

Approximately 20 working days per month x 12 = 240 working days

120K divided by 240 days = £500 per day.

So, you'd have to be capable of canvassing £500 per day, on average of work to hit your targets.

Now, for me to be able to say this is possible or not, I'd have to know what resources, both in terms of financial and manpower are at your disposal.  But I do not know how well motivated you are in the long term.

For me, it would be impossible, but I don't know you.

When turnover gets higher than can be done on your own, the law of dimishing returns applies. As you earn more, so the profit per £ decreases.

I will canvass all of it on my own, my mate will clean with a lad, then contract the work out when they can't keep up I'm thinking canvass £1000 worth a month until October, then I have two months spare, to replace the leave it this month/I'll pay double next time/the canvasser said this and that brigade. I reckon it's possible

[Pope vader]

it is possible,  if i could find 2 lads to work the glass and i could trust them, then i would spend all my time knocking,  a grand a month is easy,  it is only 50 a day,

if a canvessor cant get 50 a day then he isnt a canvessor

Exactly, I reckon on doing 3-4days canvassing a month for this. I can trust my mate 120%, but this will become an issue when finding a new gang

[Pope vader]

3-4 days a month,  u want to be out that a week,  people will always want a good canvessor

[tom cronin]

I've been canvassing for others for the past few months for others , but just think to myself I should build my own round up, not that I want to clean windows, I get bored after 3 houses lol, I much prefer canvassing

[Pope vader]

what rate do you sell the work on at,

[Blue Frog Systems]

Give yourself  April - August

5 (months) / £10,000 = £2,000 pm

£2,000 / 20 days (gives leaway) = £100 per day to find in new work.

Start off with just your mate, then as the work increases add another man.

Remember though that at that target you will hit & exceed the VAT rate, so bear this in mind. There are two VAT catergorys you could choose from.

If i had the resources to do this i would. For me i would need a canvasser as i hate knocking.

Sound like if you and your mate work hard at this you could be onto a winner

[tom cronin]

what rate do you sell the work on at,

This is exactly what I'm trying to get away from....I've sold a few bits of work over the years, and canvassed abit for others, and plan to canvass for othersnin the future full time, but first want to set a 10k a month round up  

[Pope vader]

whos round is it,  r u going to employ and get them to clean, but it is ur business

[tom cronin]

whos round is it,  r u going to employ and get them to clean, but it is ur business

Me and my best mates round, we have agreed a percentage if we decide to sell it, and agreed a small monthly percentage that I will take. He does all the cleaning, and we shall employ a lad to work with him.

When it comes to it I want too rent out the rest of the work to someone who's got there own work already, or someone looking to start up on there own

[Pope vader]

start 1st of and knock ever day till end of march,  just give him the work to do to the following day, but end of march should be full
