or simply canvassing on my own and trying to get my own customers ? I don't have enough money but an advert regularly appears in my area "Window Cleaner wanted £700 per week and rising, own transport" . This turns out to be a company offering rounds to buy and borrow money to do so. They offer to let you have a couple of days out with the lads to see how they work as well.  I don't know areas that need cleaners- is it just trial and error ? Thanks.

sounds like a round building comp

[daz1977]

so they get you a loan to pay for the round that they are selling?

best thing to do mate is if you know a window cleaner who you trust ask him if he is selling any work on thats what i did in the beginning then as i built my round up i sold on what i did'nt want

I don't think you can beat building up your own round, canvassing can be hard/frightning etc.. depending on how you view it,  but YOU get to meet your future customers, they get to see you and you also see the property and any pitfalls/problem windows.

many times i have been asked if i am doing the cleaning or am i local,  yes is my answer to both and i feel that if i was a canvasser i'd get a no.

It's all good experience for you dealing with custy's and getting the pricing right and what services you are going to offer them 4/8 week etc...

you will make the odd mistake but be better off for that experience

do it urself m8, u get wot u want @ the price u want & it helps 2keep ur money in ur own pocet. only thing i would say is... put a 1st clean on ya price. its the worst 1 2do & u dont feel so put out if they cancell after the 1st clean. some do.... say if u think the job is worth £10 do the 1st clean @ £15. hope this helps m8. & good luck
