I suppose the two main things are its tax deductable for commercial clients and it also gives their customers good first impressions when doing business ??

What methods of canvassing will you use, door to door, or phone calls? When I first started cleaning I targeted all the local pubs, got about 15 of them quiet quickly, would love to know the best way of targeting retail centres and stuff like that, I've tried ringing the management centres ect, but seems impossible to get hold of the decision makers!

[Pope vader]

avoid retail shops, or chain shops,  most are national and are £4-£6  go for pubs,  social clubs and small business

[Mr. S]

Cheers Marks, lol! i know its tax deductable but i can hardly say that in my opening sales presentation lol! Obviously first impressions is a must!

TC, I aim to knock and find out who the decision maker is depending on which business i decide on first. Pubs ask to speak with landlord. Commercial business ask at reception who the decision maker is and send a letter? Then after a week call in personally? Its all quite new to me but i want to make this work!
I been reading your posts about £10,000 a mnth, yes i think its poss, but for me im notr aiming so high, but you never know! 

Santa Vader, cheers for that i think im going to try some pubs and offices etc!

??
What can i sell as the benefits to offices and car sales premises though?

[Mr. S]

Catherine, thanks also for that. Very informative. Not touting for business though, lol Simons already messaged you  Do i get commision on that? 
Seriously now though, if it would improve my business then maybe it could discussed in the new year as i am looking at lots of ways to build my business. Also are you saying local businesses to me could be targetted and take the pressure off me?

[Catherine10]

Do you want to drop me a line direct Riverside, best to take it off the forum.

[Mr. S]

I'll contact you in new year catherine!

[Catherine10]

Thats fine River, but I think I have somebody in your area, if you drop me a line will be able to explain properly to you.
