By the way, I have his address now too. He lives in another town about 5 miles away. A brand new estate is in the processing of being built there, about 400 houses so far. Guess where I am leafletting tomorrow evening and canvassing next week!!
heeheehee
Don't forget to target the show homes 1st.
Prepare a little pack with what services you provide and offer to do them free if they will pass on your details to all new buyers.
He's peeing against the wind that's for sure.
It could be a blessing in disguise for you.
As i said earlier i think you will struggle for a long time to build and keep a good round based on housing estates. (which is what i suspect the other wc is finding out.)
If you can, find out what church/parish magazines cover the little villages outside your area and get an advert in those.
A £10 a year advert has provided me with 90% (directly and indirectly) of the work i do now. Higher rates in the villages and once you get a foothold you will probably leave town work for good.
The competition among wc will always be greater in urban areas.
Whatever you can earn on these estates per house will probably be about 50% of what the same house in the countryside will happily pay.
