into my 3rd year WFP'ing and only ever leafleted... however my phone hasn't been as busy as it used to be so I think im gunna try canvassing.
 1- do you all have a pitch you use.... if so what can I say
 2- if I spend 3-4 hours this Saturday and sunday do you think I will gain a few custys?? im quite nervous
 3- how do I handle them rude and arrogant people I have been told about 8-)?

Saturday is a good day for it, I go out most Saturdays for a few hours.
1 an hour is a good average, some days you might get 2 or 3 an hour, other days you might get nothing all day.

Also No 4:

How to deal with them people who open the door and look down at you because you are just a window cleaner !!!!


These are the ones who think window cleaners are people who go round doing it for beer money or simply thick and not clever enough to get a proper job.


Be ready for them, there are loads of them.


Remember one of them stood behind me in the bank once, should have seen there face when I made a withdrawel 


My answer is simple, let them think they are well off and better than the window cleaner

 I was driving past you home, and your windows called me by name. I know they need me. All we need to find out is if you need me?

Yeah, they're all on here.
You can spot them with their spelling

[H20cleaning]

What makes me laugh is the reaction to some people well i say i own a window cleaning business.
Im 21 now so alot of my mates have trades... Plumbing, electrian etc. however they all moan anout their jobs! I never ever moan about mine i love it.
People just dont see the money making opertunitys in window cleaning at a proffesional level!
At the end of the day i dont know many 21 year olds who make £20-£40 an hour, working 9-3ish and been their own boss

So how did your first days canvassing go H2O?

[H20cleaning]

I havent plucked upthe courage yet, im quite a quiet guy so need to work on my pitch

If nerves are a problem have a few drinks to relax yourself.
I find it best to take a few cans of cider when canvassing, to keep topped up. A can in the hand can be an ice breaker with a prospective customer, too.
You wouldn't want to appear unprofessional because of your nerves.
