Hi guys,

Part of the reason I was considering getting into it is the fact that as I get older (I've just turned 50) it would be a way of easing the load. FSG are all well and good but personally I find them hard on the joints. General WC is fine, but I know as I get older the aches and pains I have now will only increase. SP cleaning is easier on the body as the weight of the pole is on the panel.

I'm actually pretty good at canvassing - I knocked for 3 months when I started and was 2/3 full. It was a bad day if I didn't come back from an estate with 8 or 10 new custies. I'm confident I can get the business if I front up and speak to the custie. I would do just a leaflet drop; in any case i'm very rural so it's a case of stopping by each property as you spot it and hope they are in, or target custies when you know they are more likely to be in.

It's good to hear your experiences. Keep 'em coming.

Very, very, very difficult to get into solar cleaning like this. Yes, you may get the odd house, but it won't be a profitable part of your business.

I get what you are saying about your style of canvassing, I'm pretty good too. However, after 17 years window cleaning, I've found the solar marketplace to be entirely different. People either want their windows cleaning or they don't. Solar is a harder sell, even to big companies in the industry.

I sincerely wish you all the best with it, but be warned, it's gonna be hard work.
