Canvassing
« on: July 08, 2010, 08:04:27 am »
Hi Guys,  Starting canvassing today, kinda nervous and also excited at same time, I'm sure that'll change later....lol
I'm just starting out and gonna be trad, i've worked before for a windie and know what its like.
Gonna keep the sales speech simples, don't see the point in blabbing on and on.  As for quoting i'm not too sure, might just go with type of window and size and price that way.

Fingers crossed.
 :)

Don't say ''sorry to bother you'' its puts you on a back footing.

Just go ''hello,  we have a window cleaning round in your area and was wondering if you was interested''
