No location in your profile, so I can't comment if there's work out there for you. There is for me

Wife wasted four hours canvassing for work today - nothing, not one new customer.

what time did she do it ?

best time to canvass is after 4.30pm , ideal time is 6:15pm

day time me canvassing is very hard

How can you canvass at 6:15 ? Does that mean it's too late by 6:17?  : : : : :

Another good time to canvass is 15:30, as the Mum's are usually home then after their part time work & picking the kids up from school.

spot on there dale another good time but limits the people in, but you have to say 15:30 onwards as DJW will get confused

Lol..... will try to do it all in a minute.....
You're about to get mail Ian..... some more pics... will send you some commercial on Sunday, as landed a nice fat one but can only do it when nobody about.

actually i reckon if you can get a property right next to, or over the road from a school it would almost be worth doing it for nothing for the free advertising gained. Say about two and a half minutes past three?

[Dale Smith]

Now that is a cracking idea mate 
Will be doing that myself very soon....

do that already 

[geefree]

canvassing must be like anything else, i have heard of lots of people canvassing on here,

and you can go out for 4 hours one day... nothing!

next day 2 hours and bring home 10 new customers

its really about perseverance...... leaflets are the same .. be it in smaller numbers.

the more you reap the more you sow.

you gotta just keep at it.

one thing i do know for sure is if you  are not canvassing or delivering leaflets.... then you wont get any work from that aspect of your business.   silly but true aint it.

Same here, I counted 20 other window cleaners in this area. And I got a couple of the biggest houses in the area. I'm nearing £1500 now, and I haven't canvassed in a long time. I need to get out again, but I'm going to wait till I'm fully wfp.
