Thanks for all your posts guys !

Went again later on today and picked up 3 jobs, from which one has been canceled in next half an hour and another one moved to next week So I'm left with one job, but whats the most important getting more and more positive about this business.

All the best!

Well done on your first success Bart.

Onwards and upwards.

most canvassed customers turn into long standing customers IMO.over half my round was built by canvassing.im still cleaning their windows 18 years down the line!!

starting out is tough.even more these days.i dont even go looking for new work anymore i let it come to me through recommendation/people asking me on the street when working.the only acception is if i get a new job in a new area i leaflet the houses either side of the new job.

the best customers are the ones who go out of their way to phone you up usually but not always!!

i canvassed every weekend and some weekday evenings for 6 months when i started back in 1993.there was a recession on too.most of my friends and family said i was wasting my time and that i couldnt make a living out of window cleaning!luckily i didnt listen to them!!

dont get me wrong its hard starting out.it took me 6 months before i could earn enough to pay my bills.i was still working part time for another windy until i had enough to go it alone.


best wishes

You were so right guys !

I'm standing there on the ladder ( the job I picked up yesterday ) when that lady from and opposite house turns up asking to clean her windows !

Happy Days !

I don't agree with wizkid, GD I do agree with and vince has a fair point to 1000 a day is easy enough

its easy enough if your not picky about your work, targeted leaflets at 1000 per day would be much harder, I know because I do this all the time.

To The OP, what do you say to try and close them there and then ?
