Full round or almost there?
« on: November 18, 2011, 09:33:56 am »
I was wondering how many on here have a full wc round because I'm always seeing posts regarding canvassing etc.
For me I would be happy with another full weeks work.
I currently advertise on Yell. Take leaflets out and have cards in shop windows etc.

Over full .. Just sold a days work off as too full ... This was quality work as well ... Binned divs and messers ages ago .... Picking up on average 6 new jobs a month so another 3 months and will have to sell more off. Can't recall last time I canvassed.

Klean u will soon be full .. Little more cavassing and referrals and ur there ... I only noticed when started to get a few days late every month.... My advice is to bin ALL the dross along the way and NEVER hang onto them.

Since I started up here in Ireland in August, I have so far built my business up to around 70% of the work that I need. I am still doing some canvassing when I have the time to do so, but work is now coming my way by means of referrals, and by being approached by customers' neighbours.

At this rate, I hope to have a full book by the end of this year. More realistically, I will be happy if I achieve a full book by February.

I'm the same, been able to take it easy, I wonder if you ever have enough work. I had enough 3 years ago, got an extra 150 quid a week now and could still have more!

I think pleased with what I've got, but wouldn't say no to more! same as with a lot of things.....  ;D

Full here; but it's not purely quantity, it's quality that also counts.

Quantity and quality; they're like two wings of a bird; you need both to be able to fly!  ;D

Not full per sey but at a income level I am happy with....still have 1 week off every 8 and various days and half days in the 8 week cycle...nice balance of work and play....

As someone else wrote here...'am able to pick and choose' which new work I take on...which is a very nice/lucky position to be in.
