as long as the leafletters were leafletting for 80% of their time on the streets its a good result . 

 its my experience that getting 500 delivered in 5 hours is a great result . after 5 hours walking they quit, i wouldnt expect anybody to do it 2 days running either

think about it,who can walk 6 hours or more daily with all that turning and bending too,its a marathon effort

i suppose its different for a full time job bobby, what about posties? they essenially do the same

last week i chanced on  the main leafletting firm in Ipswich setting off their lads the other day with a giant stack of leaflets in the back of their Galaxy.  the thought went thru my mind, that stack just realistically cannot be delivered .

If this is true, that prove my point which I mentioned in previous post about his video that he said 12000 leaflet and he only got 38 regular customers, so either there is some thing wrong with his delivery system or his leaflet, in my view his leaflets looks good, so that leaves the DELIVERY.   

when i spend an hour delivering maybe 100 or so of my basic black and white leaflets i nearly always get at least one job from them,

unfortunatly trusting someone to do a job that you cannot fully keep an eye on then there is a risk that leaflets are going to be re-cycled before a potential custy reads them

Thats what gets me about leafleting, when I have done it myself I've always picked a few jobs up from 100 or so. When I've paid to get them delivered I don't pick up as many jobs per thousand. The idea that the leaflets are going in the bin has always crossed my mind.

I worked with a guy who got sacked from his previous job as a postie for .... getting fed up one day and posting all his mail in a pillar box!

Then he got sacked for flooding the shop where we worked with 500 gallons of paraffin! If you ask me nicely I'll tell you how!

He used to ride to work on a Puch Maxi moped - he was 6ft 6" tall and looked like a praying mantis on it!

This is a wind up , hehe , no leaflets were put in the bin but i did see 3 seperate jog post leafletters clutching a handful each of Pryors leaflets , so it seems as though his campaign is well and truly underway........ (none of them were jogging!)

Oh alright then - in the school summer hols I got asked to work for a fortnight at the local hardware shop where my uncle was the manager and there was a staff of three - my uncle - bob the senior asst who was on hols and Ken the junior asst.

Anyway we sold paraffin by the half gallon to little old ladies and gents with their oil heaters and had a 500 gallon tank on the roof.

Anyway this tank had a reserve on it at 50 gallons so my uncle knew to re-order when the main tap ran dry and we had 50 gallons left. But this time we ran out completely and when the Esso tanker driver turned up at 1.30 my uncle was at lunch, Bob was on hols, I had gone walkabout and Ken was in charge.

So Ken turns off the main tank tap, lets the driver connect his hose and goes off for lunch while the driver sits in his cab pumpimg in the fuel.

500 gallons later the driver turns off the flow just as ken comes back to paraffin cascading down the front steps onto the pavement! He'd left the reserve tap open and 500 gallons had been dumped on the shop floor.

Even worse was that one of the store rooms was a brick height down from the main floor and had soap powder, weedkillers, lawnfeed etc stored in cardboard boxes on the floor and the room was ankle deep in paraffin before it flooded the shop.

Classic.

The best i can find to say about canvasser`s is that for some they may be a necessary evil !

[Rogue Trader]

Peoples reputations can be ruined by " jokes " !

I think there is a lot of jealousy being shown by some posters on here  :

I especially like having a dig at people with no sense of humour.
