just to clear up matters, I have been in the bizz for more years then I care to remember and at one point I had 3 vans on the road, I used to employ my son and another guy, my son now works over the docks and I sold one round plus van to the guy that used to work for me.
now its just me and my missus that work one large round but we want to expand on,
we employed a canvasser that has worked for me in the past.... I asked him to get me no more than £100 of work per week (my choice) so we can build it up until a point where we cant possibly take on any more,
his going rate is 2 times the clean (average for a pro canvasser)
and Pure H20..... for your info all the jobs he gets me are £20 or over a hit as Im not interested in £6 jobs for a house though I might be tempted to do one window for £6
mind you come to think of it I don't know of any houses that only have one window lol
as for a newbie to this bizz, well I suppose as ive been cleaning since the mid 70's it may make me a newbie
hope that clears matters up for you all
ps although I don't make many posts on here, I first came on CIU about 8 or so 9 years ago when I got into the interweb under a different name but I could not remember my password so I came back on using a new log in name
