If they dont ask me I dont tell them about wfp
When Im knocking I give a qoute there and then and ask to see the back. Alot of times if there is a conservatory they say you wont be able to do that. Thats when I explain. I have found people are happy for me to wfp when I can do windows they have never had cleaned before.
I have put out about 1000 leaflets so far and had about 35 phone calls with only 4 saying no or they will think about it.
As I knock / deliver the leaflets I keep an eye on the houses and what kind of pricing they are. When i get a phone call I can in most cases give a price over the phone. Here is what I ask ....
1) Address
2) Size of house (2 bed terrace, 3bed semi etc)
3) Do they have an extension or conservatory
If they dont have a conservatory or extension I give them a price over the phone. Other wise I pop round and take a look.
The other day i knocked on one house, quoted, got it. went next door, quoted, got it, went to the next house, quoted , got it. You cant get that from just dropping a leaflet. So if you find a bit of time, just knock some doors. On thursday I did 5 hours knocking / dropping leaflets to those not in. I got 7 customers from knocking, came home, my wife got me 2 customers, I had 6 messages on the phone which I rang back and converted 5 into customers and I have to go and see the other one today to quote.
I use google maps for the areas I want to knock / drop leaflets and mark what streets I have done. I have had a huge responce from new estates with 3 storey houses. 200 house estates they are and best knocked after 6pm.
Hope my rambling helps someone
