Interesting dilema, why not think of it the way we do - canvassing is a numbers game, we do it for domestic work, and if your hit rate is say, one in 10, or one in twenty, be grateful for each 'No', cos it means you're closer to a 'YES',
I'm a newbie, tradding it part time, don't have too many customers at the moment because I don't seem to have the balls to go out canvassing. Its crazy because I would talk to any Tom, Dick and Harry but when it comes to knocking on doors and offering my window cleaning services I cant get the confidence up! Anyone got anything that would inspire me? Or any tips? Anything to help me MAN UP and canvass?Cheers Rex.
if you look ugly then go the leafletting route- but you must do about a 4 hr stint to get a result , chicken out at 1 or 2 hours and you will never get a good result AS posted earlier if you have tattoos cover them all up- i took on a tattood lad,he took to wearing a jacket plus jazzy London city boy scarf and he looked as if he was going for a night at the opera ,looked great -however i later found him laying drunk on the pavement, seemed to not cope very well !
since then was after the WFP switchover - once I had got bored of having much more time off.
