Ive heard of SPS mixed reports but I do like the fact they charge 2.5x the clean value, in fact I really like that.

My experience so far ......out of around 440 they sent me I got about 180 .
Some of those will be one offs .
They seem to put anything on the list .

its just the nature of the job.your always gonna get people dropping out,wanting one offs or messers.

i would never pay someone else to get work for me.i built mine up myself.most new work now comes from word of mouth and recommendation although i do some leafleting and canvassing from time to time.
price higher/work harder!

Yes i found my canvassers myself. Wouldnt pay 2x for canvassed work as these sort of canvassers sign up any old crap for work and leave you in the lurch..

i spoke to the guy from sps, reckons they use a quality control service now, they ring every customer to confirm before they pass the work on, dont know if this is true and worth spending/wasting money . they do say they cover cancellations for 3 months ???

If they can stick to there word with 3 months then your onto a winner.. Most of the dropouts happen i. The first 4 cleans mainly by the 2nd. Thats a great guarantee for the work as long as your not paying more than 2x you will be ok.

They phone them but the list has confirmed , dna (did not answer) on it .
Out of 33 names only 8 were confirmed , just over half have dropped out before first clean .

They are promising to top it up to what it should be though .

Will see what happens .

That sounds a shambles robert. You want to be buying comfirmed work not a list of  any old crap.
Said it time and time again dont use these fools and go and do it yourself or find your own canvassers it is t hard.. Add in shop window, add in paper, add online, add as your facebook status, ask in local pub or where you hang out, so many people out there will be greatfull to canvas for you and earn between £5-10 a customer.

Can you guys please stop parting with your money to people who make everything sound too good to be true ? Why don't you ask them to let you clean some of it first if its a 3 month garentee what's the problem or offer 50% then a other 50% if it all sticks (which it won't)

In my own personal experience when I do the telesales to have only spoke to 8 people out of 33 means they have literally spent  40minutes to an hour maximum on the phone chasing these people. My belief is there playing at the canvassing. How can anyone have time to run a round, sell franchises and do canvassing. Running a round of any size is a fulltime job on its own something has to give.
On a side note Mick Kent Im a bit more local to you over next few weeks if your up for a beer Essex styleeeeee
