How many people have you actually spoke to ringo? Its very important to pick the right type of area. If you need any advice please just email me or send your number and I dont mind going through it over the phone...

   Probably 300+ people. I'm also going to try nearby villages.

Hi
Its a very good point, pricing is very area specific. I work closely with my customers to achieve prices they are happy with but achievable. Every one of my customers is happy with the prices I have got for them so far.

Hi George, do you mind if I ask a question -whats your success rate like? As we know it's a numbers game and sometimes you can hit a purple patch and other times not
( eg ,  2.5 hours for me today and 7 new customers)Can you put your finger on what works best for you or is it just the time spent knocking?Obviously I don't ask you to give up your magic formula but am I too far wide of the mark? If not , do you ever need a subbie ? ;D

Kind regards
Roy

Hi Roy,

7 in two and a half hours sounds good, the general thought is 1 in 10 people you speak to but that covers all kinds of areas. The key to consistant results is choosing your areas carefully and always having a plan b if your first choice not going well. My best day this year worked out at 1 in 3 which is unusual but I always tend to better than the 1 in 10 but that works as a good baseline so if you speak to 100 people which would be hard, you should come out with 10 jobs making it a worhwhile day....

Hope that makes sense....

Thanks for your honest reply George-I kind of go on that ratio too and if it's not working in one area ,I'll pick somewhere else .
It's a pity that I don't get more time to canvass as I find it's the part of the business I love most( a bit sadistic I know!!)but I have to jump on the tools every so often to help my small team out.
Good luck to you ,your getting some great comments on hear-looks like your gonna be busy!I wouldn't mind you coming down to me in Kent sometime,maybe later in the year and go after some good commercial stuff??

Regards
Roy
