You do not need help just want to moan,no wonder you are having a dificult time to canvise I would not let you clean my window with that attitude it could dirty the glass. Don’t kick a giving horse in the mouth. To thank them for there effort would be better and leave it at that.

i DONT THING YOU SHOULD BOTHER.

Dont judge me you dont know me.Also tell me how canvassing with another window cleaner can work i dont know him so how could i trust him that i was getting 50% how do i know he qwouldn't arrange to go and do them on his own.

[lcwalker]

Also im only protecting what work i do have when i did gardening i had people nick work off me, so i dont really trust anyone that wants to help.

just door knock,everyone says it,does not matter if you think windows look clean,knock anyway.i have knocked whole streets and everyone one but 1 says they got a cleaner,but i got the 1,which has led to other ones,you will not get anywhere with flyers alone imo,unless you are prepared to wait years,

You need to understand that it is hard going to start.

So many people come on hear bragging about what they earn and how much they charge for a house, and how quick they have built a round etc etc. They are a minority.

I managed to get 8 custies when I first started and then built from their.

Got a part time job in the evenings as a subsidy.

I found a good way was when out cleaning I would just knock on doors inbetween and ask if they wanted their windows cleaned. It works well.

Shame you turned down that offer of help because an old hand can teach you tricks and you would have had a chance of bagging a few more custies you have not got now.......

Better to know the competition than blank them.

He could still come over and canvas the area and you would not get a look in.

As I said at the start..... It aint easy for a newbie but persist and you will make it.
The average millionaire goes bust three times before he makes it so I am told!!

Ive got 2 new £15 ers today bunglow with a conny and a cottage so haven't done bad there maybe a couple of others in the pipe line in the same area so things are looking up.Also i dont regret turning down his offer im a stubborn git and i will do things my way i take all usefull advice seriously but in the end this is my business and i want to build it on my own.

[Jonathan Spencer]

Wish I had someone to canvass for me lol.

[lcwalker]

i DONT THING YOU SHOULD BOTHER.

I think Wizard is right.

Pull your finger out pal and get on with it or shut up moaning. Did you expect it given to you on a plate or did you expect to have to work to achieve things in this business? Cleaning the windows is the easy bit by the way.

Answer to your question yes i did know it was going to be hard and we all have bad time or are you exception to the rule?.Also i think i have gathered cleaning is the easy bit.Yes ive had abit of a moan but I just dont understand why people have turned on me since the member offered to canvass with me, it was for his benefit as much as mine, also the first thing he wanted to do was buy my customers from me, how was that helping my business?.Finally theres no need to tell me to shut up you dont have to read or comment on my post.

Hi
I have read the posts and thought there may have been some beer flowing last night as yours were fairly negative.
People have not turned on you they/we have just tried to help. The guy who offered to buy your calls was just trying to give you a way out, after all you wrote the title about being bothered. He the offered to help you canvass by showing you what he say/dose, but you dismiss this as you feel you will not be able to trust him.
There is always help on here, but if you think you will not like the answers that people bother to give, just go through the search option as i'm sure it will have been asked before.
All the best anyway.

Thanks,people wont be aware of this but i was posting a while back and he offered to come with me then i politely said no but he didn't seem to like me saying no then.He has done the same on this posting it does seem to me that i bother him living close to him or maybe he think i could help him out i really dont know, i appreciate the offer but how many times do you have to say no, i just wasn't interested in going canvassing with him whats the problem in that?.

[A+CleaningService]

Oh yer, I remember seeing if you wanted any help a while back, Mr I don't know if I cam be bothered anymore.
Well, I cannot be bothered with you.

[Wizard]

If you took the time you have spent on here and gone out and knocked, you would have got a lot of new custies.Actions speak loader than words.Maybe you need some medical help.

Ic
I think you would bother him more if you came on bragging of all the work you have picked up in the same area. But then his book may be full and he will not be worried about any competition.
I don't know either of you but I believe he was just trying to help. But I don't think you need worry on that score any more

Just because he wants to do it alone with his mrs doesn't make him a fool. Having a whinge is just an outlet and this forum has many posts similar without a few jumping in.
He don't want. What is wrong with that?

nothing is wrong with wanting to do it your own way. . But he started slaging me off, when I offered to help get him customers. I offered because i am not that far away. I do not care if he wants my help or not. I just thought I would  ask. Without his crap Period.
