Iv got a few custies in sutton that i picked up but i do most of it in sutton mannor. I might actualy be buying a van and wfp system from ronnie but im not sure yet. You dont like them do you? I want to get some commercial work around here hopefully.

I had one from brodex and it wasnt the best.

If you are going to buy one id say commercial is the best work for them. When you buy i think you need to buy the best poles and bushes with fanjets in my opinion. Its worth spending top dollar from what ive seen if you can afford it....

I am thinking of buying one next year and maybe a hot system from what ive seen on here about them. They are expensive but a few have built their own so thats an option.

I might be gaining some commercial work in st helens over the next 3 months but one or two might need wfp.
I have an agreement on a lease for a hot system but i like to have options. If you were willing to sub contract work i can sub it to you if i win it.

Regards
Danny

Yes a few IFS but if we cant arrange anything i always come up with 2-3 ways to make things work so i wont be stuck if your not interested.

WFP - Id buy a hot system with the best poles and a micobore reel - you get a longer hose and its half as thick so it wont be getting snagged as much. If you can afford new you will get a manufactures guarantee with most reputable companies.

Brodex in southport have a 3 year guarantee on their products.

If you need a van craig can supply you with a van new, used or leased and im sure he will do you a great deal

Planning on delivering 5,000 leaflets first week of Jan. Any calls then I will go back and canvass those streets.

Opening doors in cold weather to see my ugly mug discussing windows is not what most people want I feel.

£99 for 5,ooo leaflets from Printing.Com A5 Gloss boths sides.  I will give it a go and see

Julius,
Good on you keep it up. Yes i will be out next week and christmas week taking bookings for january.
The last two weeks in december isnt good for cleaning because of christmas being so close and normally cash is tighter.
Keep going and dont lose face at the door because the more confident you are the more professional you will come across.

Secondly never seem desperate or youll get killed. Always canvass whenever possible i have found out twice that if i would have moved faster i would have gained two estates full of customers.

If you dont knock your business will fail and you will never be a success. If you cant do it yourself hire a canvasser on part time to knock for you. Im going to hire two canvassers after christmas to give me that final push to achieve a full round by march.

Danny
THANKS DANNY........HAVE A MERRY AND PROFITABLE XMAS...HO!HO!HO! ;D ;D ;D ;D
