sorry to bother you

if theyre looking weary i sometime try and have a laugh and say dont worry im not trying to sell you expensive windows or convert your religion

i own a local window cleaning company who have built various successful window cleaning rounds in the area and we are now looking to build up in your area

what sort of arrangement have you got in place at the minute

and can i interest you in providing a quotation to clean your windows,frames,cills and door panels

Stand back from the door after knocking. When the householder opens the door I smile and say 'Hello, nice to meet you. My name is John and the reason I am calling is that I am offering a window cleaning service locally. Would this be something you may be interested in?'

Keep it simple. Be presentable, polite, professional, but don't be pushy. There is no need to apologize for calling, but you can simply thank them for their time if they are not interested.

Best wishes,
John
