Hi,

Just watched a couple of vids of yours!

Do you find using a pitch more succesfull  compared to just saying" hi i recently put some flyers out in this area and ive come to see if you would like a quote? (Holding flyer in your hand- showing potential customer) as i do.

I find this to be more straight to the point and quicker, most people either want a window cleaner or not and can make up they're mind right away. It helps me to acheive more knockeps in one day.

How many knocks would you do in an average day canvassing?

I usualy have a set amount in mind(£) that i would like before i go home and do saturdays at the moment as early dark nights still.

Either im lucky or im doing something right as i seem to do well. I wear my work uniform as its smart, i was told last week that i look like a police officer by a pensioner! Must be a bonus realy as most police are trustworthy i guess and its a good image to portray.

Many thanks

Paul

Why leaflet and then canvass? Two lots of work. I leaflet whilst canvassing to those that are not in.

It's easier to forget leaflets and just canvass and go back to those not in at a later date

I get someone to else to leaflet with me , then when i knock with flyer in hand people know a little bit about me first.

You get a lot of automatic "no thanks" if your a completey out of the blue.

Its suprising how many people say" im glad you called as i was going to ring but forgot/been busy".

Ive heard of the technique a few times before i tried it and its effective, yeah its a bit more work but im not scared of it.
