Paul- cheers for the moral support mate, I think I'm going to need it 

Ian- tbh mate I seen you write that you were going out leafleting before an that's what gave me the idea. How many do you reckon you will be able to drop per hour in this weather?

Chris- good idea mate. Do you literally just walk in shops and ask if they want a quote?

Cheers lads

Danny

I work on approx 200 an hour in my head but prob more like 250 to 300 depending on houses / paths / gates etc

Weather like this prob 150 to be realistic so will open a new box of a thousand and take half out and just keep plugging away till all gone.

Want to build a round in a nice village near me of Higher Kinnerton where got nowt at moment but falls within my normal radius.

Also got pressure washing / conny cleaning etc on my leaflet so may get a few hits from it .... only got 19000 left to get thru 

That's good info mate, cheers! Have you had many ppl take you up on the extras yet? I bet bob and gav are off with this weather....why don't you get them out with you?   they would if they were good mates

Danny

not yet as only got the new leaflets last week and only dropped about 400 ish so far.

got 1 pressure washer job yesterday by telling a customer about it and wrote a "discounted" quote for a few others that were near by but not home.

along lines of "were in area next week pressure washing a neighbour - we can do yours for £xxx whilst in area and a further 25% off if they let us video it for youtube"

Good stuff pal! Off what iv read on here about what your doing is sounds like you are going to do really well this year....remember us all when your a millionaire 

P.s the mrs charges me 25% more when i want to video thing for youtube as well 

Danny

making up for being lazy lasy when it came to growing the business last 18 months.

trying a few different things this year but windows still the no1 core job.

its down to discipline really like emailing so many business per day before I go out to work, getting out on time and working the rounds best to suit me, canvassing / leafletting every day even if its just 50 leaflets after a hard days graft, pushing the add ons to current customers, getting email address during day by phone to email the a letter of intro to the next day 3 a day 5 days a week is 780 a year doing hotels at the moment email is perfect as you get to the right person and once u have the correct email u can email them again and again till they buy or die or tell you to do one  ..

Yeah, I look at the shop front, work out how much I would charge, write it on the back of a buisness card of mine and walk in. Introduce myself and offer the card while asking if they'd like to be one of our custies. Numbers game. Same as knocking doors really.
The custies I get from this are "tick over" income when things are bad like now. It's nearly all 7 and 14 day jobs that keep a couple of hundred a month coming in. I've got a couple of shops that are monthly, but the rest are 7/14 days.

Thats a good idea mate. Do you ask to speak to the manager or just hand it to a staff mamber? And do you get many jobs you quote for? Cheers

Danny

Just got back, picked up one. All the rest have a card with a price written on the back. I expect a 1% to 3% hit rate normally. I dont ask tp see a manager if it's a small shop, just hand the card over while I introduce myself. I don't bother with the Dorothy Perkins or T_Online sort of chains as these have contracts to firms that provide maintenance cleaning of the whole complex etc. Apart from the fact that I'm looking for 10 to 15 minutes of work on each, not a couple of hours as some of the huge shops can take, if you know what I mean.

So it's, walk in, tell them who I am, hand over a card and wish them a pleasant weekend etc. Some ask for a price on the spot, some call later, some don't get back to us. Same as always. Some will, some won't, so what.
