Its been very quiet for me also  :-[ but Ive only been in this job for about 2 months now, I can say Ive had 135 hits on my web, and lots of pennypinchers phoneing etc.
I hope with Christmas coming I can pull in some money now.
After all the energy I personnaly put into my business I want to reap the benifits from it.  >:(

Very quiet at the moment, have had nothing but price shoppers lately.

My last customer from Yellow Pages was about two months ago, been out there putting leaflets out but to no avail. Hopefully next month things will change.

Just glad I have alot of money saved.

Last year November was a good Month, I just dont understand it. I have over 1000 more customers this year, I have better advertising this year but the phone is very quite. I have been working 7 days a week for the past 3 months, I can not remember the last day I done less than 3 jobs in one day, yet today only 1 job, tomorrow only 1 job ( 3 Sat & 1 Sun ) Now is not a good time to be slow. But at least its not only me.

Cheers
Justin

As the bloke on the telly said this morning, people have built up record levels of debt and now interest rates have risen many people have no money to spend.

I have noticed a difference in the drop of calls this week as well.
Very strange.
The other thing as well is that it doesnt feel very xmassy out there either.Last year all the shops had kicked off xmas in the first week of Nov but they seem to be holding back a little this year,you would not think its only 6 weeks away  :o

You have taken a 1000 new customers already this year and your moaning about being quiet. How often do you mailshot these customers.

Wokingham is my target for the new year so may see you around.

Cheers
