Thanks for info on pricing folks, and as for how do i canvass, well dont be afraid of people saying no! aint gonna hurt you and just use the techniques in the last post. I say window cleaning in the first sentance and instantly people relax more as they know you arent selling anything.I have my flyers and business cards to hand and like brightclean said, if they say they have someone then i just say no problem could i give you a leaflet to hang onto just incase you might need us in the future.
The last street we done there were exactly 127 houses, i got 8 customers, now that means that a combined 90 odd % either were not in or said no for whatever reason. the point is never get down at the 90% stay focused on the 10 and get excited about the fact that the other 90% are now future potential customers.
Its frightning to think how may people out there either have not got a window cleaner and actually want one, or they have a window cleaner and are not happy and will jump at the chance of moving to you. you just need to make sure they get to hear about you, so dont wait on them coming to you, how may times a week do you see adverts, flyers or get canvassed by window cleaners? i dont get it a lot so it proves the guys around here just aint doing it as much as they should, or they dont need to.
All the best.
