What to pay a Door to Door canvasser
« on: June 08, 2012, 01:35:53 pm »
I was wondering which is the best way to do this, I have to pay a hourly rate, so I was thinking of doing this along with commission on every job they get.

What rate per hour and commision should I be looking at? they will be doing a 30 hour week.

Hi George

In your experence how many new customers on average do you think a canvasser should get? also should they close the deal or just get the lead, and learn to close from me?

If they working hard should get one an hour on average, this will vary though and should increase with time and confidence...I would start them just lead gathering then train them up as they gain more confidence....

For canvassing? To be honest I am working on another business at the moment and its taking up most of my time but if the offer is right then in theory yes....

I pay my son and my trainee half of the 1st clean, my boy took £57 pounds off me last Saturday, he was over the moon, unfortunately he has just got a full time job but we canvass a couple of streets a day when we clean and it is growing slowly but surely

Was that meant as sarcasm like it usually is with you???
It isnt rocket science like you make out gd is it, I'm not a mug who would pay 2-3 cleans to someone like you for a piece of paper with hit or miss customers on it when it is so easy to find people who do it for half a clean or in my case £5 a clean and still appreciate it at £30-50 a day for a part time job 3 hours per day 3 times a week.
 I must be doing something right hey as canvassers are happy and so are my staff who get 30 percent of there daily target, everything always gets done on time and we never fall behind. Work is repeat, customers are happy.

Do you know what sarcasm is? You dont seem to get it....

Its funny that you call canvassing yet you failed at doing it yourself....

Its a needed service as you well know....

I am not getting into another row so this will be my last comment on this topic....

Thu Mick I thought 5 quid is low but suppose it depends on your pricing structure if u go in at 8-10 quid 3 bed semis and people agree to cleans without really being talked into it and can sign say 8-10 in 3 hour slot then that's fine.

I personally go in bit higher average price prob 13-14quid so they get 9 quid a customer but prob not as many on
