i dont understand mick?what do you mean you wont be doing much until feb? ??? ???

i clean as normal all year round.the only time i have time off is a week at xmas and when the weather is REALLY extreme(eg a foot of snow!) ;D ;D ;D

i normally finish at 330pm-4pm all year round so the dark evenings dont have an effect really.i work in rain,sleet,snow unless its really heavy.if i get behind i work on a saturday.

ive lost a few lately due to them dying but ive also picked a few up including a £60 fascia clean so im not losing out.


regards

Being totally honest it didnt go too well and guessing its cos its winter ??

Ended up with 9 new customers all together but only canvassed areas I already worked in so getting really compact nowadays.

Switched over to just leafleting for rest of year as can cover more in 1 day and hopefully will get lots of calls in the spring.

Every Saturday I will deliver 200 leaflets after a little collecting and any empty mid week days I drop a minimum of 500 leaflets.

i dont think you get what i mean daz, i clean and work all the hours i can and
I dont stop untill feb at all, just it makes it easier telling the customers that to keep them on the books who shy away at xmas time with money probs etc.
It works for me this way.
