Been going just over 3 years now..and I need another 10 customers and I am at the point where my targets and projections are where I would like them to be..

So for all those out there just starting, please join me in my gloating...as you too will be there ...

For those who say a round cannot be built with leaflets alone...it can

I took some of Tosh's advice and culled those who do not fit along the way.

So to all those who put up with my so, so niave questions..Thanks for your time and patience.

I Wish I had started this game years ago but then again I would not be where I am now I did..if you can follow that.

Cheers and good luck to all new starters and those thinking about it.

Dave.

im not doin too bad then iv got around a 100 and been goin roughly a year ive dropped quite a few though and kept the well priced work. i just want to get my round more compact as mine are dotted around quite a few areas. i really want to get to about 300-400 in next couple of years and then hopefully cost a lot less in advertising etc. glad to see ya happy anyway pingu

you have been busy suds!!! 362 custies in a year is that all from canvassing or have you bought a round too??

[big J]

what do you put on your leaflets and what perentage of leaflets got you a custy then

[ftp]

Around 350 custys no leafletting very little canvassing, very small amount of advertising and full to the brim with add ons. I count myself very lucky. If I can do it with minimal effort just think what can be achieved if you push it. Three years in Feb.

yea bought a trad round it was pants really and a gamble it was very run down badly serviced .
frames were all minging was a chore to clean it all up wfp, lost a few over them first few cleans spots, steaks,runs........but now 15 months on all SPARKELING happy days

For all the moaning we do about customers, weather, hoses, poles, rubbers etc, etc
we are for the most part fortunate to be able to have a certain amount of control in our working lives.

And lets face it whilst it can get a bit dull cleaning glass it does pay ok

Cheers
Dave.

Looking at some of the posts here I see so many people have soooooooooooo many customers...my 220 looks very 'slim'...

450 on the books and most are well priced. Keep dropping the misfits,its the only way to improve the round.

220 is plenty if priced right 400 if priced right would be great but also 400 priced badly is a nightmare
