Im starting a blog to let everyone know how my canvassing is doing and to give examples to new window cleaners struggling to get customers. This is how its going so far....
Set myself 120 new customers with the view of finding £720pcm minimum of new work.
Ive set myself a target of 3 months to achieve this target meaning i need 10 customers a week to stay on target. Ive set myself a small achievable targets rather than seeing it as one big target i would feel id never hit.
Day 1 - Went out yesturday knocking on doors and giving out tickets. Mostly got told they already have a window cleaner but carried on anyway. Eventually i found out that the estate was cleaned by a 60 year old guy whos been there since the 80s. Plodded on regardless. I managed to pick up 2 customers who wanted there frames cleaned (a service not carried out by the other wc). Great 2 customers at £6 a month
Carried on knocking but no joy. Probably pick more up when im seen working on the estate
Day 2 - Today i turned up but not with alot of enthusiasm for canvassing the estate from yesturday. I did notice another estate over the road from the one i was planning on canvassing and hit that one instead. Bingo !
Heard there window cleaner was a guy who lives in the pub (Not very professional). This estate is much larger and i could see potential straight away. Went knocking for 2 hours and came back with 7 customers. Still got majority of the estate to canvass tomorrow so very optimistic.
One away from target....... Anything over the target is a bonus but i have to hit my target
Anyone whos canvassing who would like to add to this feel free to do so
