Your mad booking a canvasser when you have the minerals todo it yourself and how well you have already achieved gaining 87 since september..
Long may it continue for you.

Big target so throwing everything at it plus by April ish my canvasser will be full time on the glass and only canvassing a few hours in the evening and dont want to loose momentum and at 2 times the clean not too expensive ....... minerals lol want a dag with that ?

So how many will you have when you've got your 900? Or how many did you have before you started canvassing?

Wow that's a great target it just shows what you can do in this game
when you put your mind to it.
Over 80 from September that's an excellent achievement on its own.

Was circa 300 just before canvassing but had a sort out of some jobs and sold a 3/4 day round off so actual number before start of expansion drive was 240 ............. so when finished will have circa 1150 customers.

Cheers Sean thanks for positive comments ................... been at this job since 2010 after 26 years of high pressure jobs in the motor trade so had an easy 3 years just bumbling around just letting things happen as they happen with no real drive or focus as such.
Learned what works and what does not so now ready to make things happen rather than just letting them happen to me (hope that dont come across as too American or bull c#ap  :P )

just a case of finding what works for you and then commiting to doing it ................. which is part of the reason i have made my plans into this thread as can you imagine the kicking I will get on here if I loose focus and dont bother ........ bit like the weigh in at slimming world every week in front of the other fat gits  ;D

UPDATE - for those interested  :D  ... the real push starts NOW  ;D

All work for Janaury will be completed by tomorrow so gives me 9 days to canvass and first clean.

This was made possible by the late December work not being done due to poor weather and Christmas so that now has become my week1 work ........... worked a few Saturdays and started earlier than normal and worked a lot harder to get it all done ... massive day tomorrow then all done bar a few small jobs.

Got Dan the Man booked in for 9 days canvasing with a mate of his keen to earn some dosh before he goes into Army.

Booked canvasser Paul Dale for a week in May to specifically crack a new area ... at 2 times the clean plus a small amount for BandB too good a deal to say no to.

About to place an ad in job centre for self employed canvassers - did this back in May last year but for some reason nothing was ever fowarded to me and when logged in this morning found there had been 9 applicants  ::)roll ::)roll

Will update as and when  ;)

C'mon slacker. Only 2 in Jan. tut tut lol.

Have you gone Vat registered yet, or will you do this when you break through the threshold (if not already there?)

Very keen to see you succeed at this one Ian. Good luck!

86 new customers in December is a bold move in my opinion. I don't take any new customers in December....

Why not?? If you dont take them on someone else will, its like giving work to your competition.
I only picked up 3 in december that came out to me! But done there 2nd cleans last week with no problems and all paid. Its a bit of a myth everyone wanting a xmas 1 off. The ones that do normally say they just want a 1 off if you ask them.
