Well, after all the snow I went round like Billy Whizz and am now ahead with the rest of this week "spare" and so after finishing yesterday I decided to canvass around a couple of jobs I do. Here's my report.
All 1930's semi's with bay windows in a nice part of Bristol.
Started at 5 pm.
NH = Not home
House 1 NH - leaflet through door.
House 2 Young Dad with tiny baby in arms, friendly - handed leaflet
House 3 Mrs B. Quoted £25 1st clean and £20 on an 8 weekly basis and got it. (House extended with dormer window in loft so three floors plus single story extension) with two extra windows and door. Cleaned it this morning and confirmed call again in 8 wks.
House 4 French lady - "Sank you very much! I speak to my husband, sank you!"
House 5 Already a custy of mine
House 6 NH - leaflet through door
House 7 Gotta windy ta!
Cross over and work back
House 8 Detached - owners mother holding fort - took leaflet
House 9 Detached - minging windows "do you do one-offs?" "Yes sir! But the price would double to £50 as yours have not been done for some time." "I'll think about that and keep your card!" (Certainly didn't seem fazed by the price)
House 10 NH - leaflet through
House 11 Semi's again "I've got a windy, he's not very good can I keep your card?" "Sure, not trying to take other peoples work, mind. "
House 12 NH - leaflet through
House 13 Gotta windy ta!
Houses 14, 15 NH, leaflets through.
House 16 Already a custy of mine
Finish 5.30
So that was ok!
