900 new customers by October 2014
« on: September 19, 2013, 06:54:53 am »
Thats the challange I have set myself and fully expect to acheive it  :)

Got a great lad who canvasses from van whilst Im working and so far in 10 days has got me 31 new customers which aint bad considering this is during the day and no evening or weekend canvassing - this starts tonight.

Planning to finish cleaning about 3.30 ish every day, have a brew at home then canvass till 6.30 ish so each evening between us thats 5 hours a day as well as during the day.

900 customers sounds a lot but broken down its just over 17 new customers a week.

1st cleans done there and then or on a Saturday so wont interfere too much with normal days work.

Expect updates over next 12 months  :)

Wow 900 customers!! Someone is hungry for it lol..
Im guessing you want 2 more vans out.
As long as you keep feeding your hunger to grow and not get full up with the grief from it im sure you will manage... You have said it now so failing isnt an option..
Ill look forward to watching you grow.

One man should do 450 a months as long as they're not all large or ridiculously spread out.

Sounds like you've hot the big between your teeth Ian and I hope you succeed.

Out of interest, how do you pay your canvasser?  By the hour or the first clean?

Well done ian.you sound motivated.
If you want it enough you will reach it.
900 custys is a lot but in real terms is just over 2 custys a day.
Out of interest and what stage do you anticipate needing a new van?
Takings off all first cleans till march 7th 2014
October  total=  cleaned  extra per month
November = cleaned extra per month
Total £  so far.

That's only 2 or 3 new custies a day mate. If you and this guy can pull that in, job done.  ;) Go for it.
