mick do you pay em per paying customer on a first clean and ask em to replace if they dont stick ?if so thats one hell of a deal offering a fiver and getting it guaranteed
at £5 per "paying first clean" is good which is a good deal
the problem is leads and paying customers are worlds apart
canvasser could pull 15 and only get 7 to pay other 8 say next time
out of those 7 3 could pay and canel right away
if it was £5 per paying customer the canvasser would have been paid £35 for that day if 3 cancel does your canvasser replace it for free so in actual fact his true earnins are only £20 that would be a bad day
i dont think people will hang around long if they are then you are on to a winner i know cos i find it hard or found it hard keeping canvassers (not in the mood for canvassed work at the mo) who wanted to work for that sort of payment however i offered £5-£10 if the customer retained or canceled it was kinda ok as about 50% did stick
now some days could be better then others say a brillant day 20 paying customers 15 pay thats £75 and only say 2 pay and cancel so would your guys really replace those 2 for free?
also i think the advantage leafletting could have over canvassers is you no longer need to rely on others to build up a customer base you could strike a deal with someone to knock for you at your rates not his he says fine he is going to do this full time then after 3-4 days you get 10 leads and he quits?now you might have promised someone a job,these are the problems i had so i had to choose to do it myself which i used to love (not anymore lol) or pay a higher price,if its working for you and you are getting loads of paying first cleans for a fiver and long term then i wouldnt change anything i dont think.
i just want to try this leafletting game out you cant beat cold callers mate, they went out the way to pick up the phone thats almost priceless
i had 3 cold inquiries this week a bit more then the usual 1-2, maybe becos of the family coming over for chirstmas each and every one were doubled on the first clean
£30 full next time £15
£40 next time £20
£20 next time £10
these 3 will think long and hard before canceling none of them liked paying that much and i told them they never will it goes down half price.
when i do it that way i get 90% stick rate,
if i tryed that on the doors at least 2 out of 3 would have said "let me call you" do it for single values then we start going down the how many are serious and how many just want a one off cos its cheap no matter how you canvass ive looked smart,window cleaner smart, uniform, normal,used female canvasser,said regular only,try us out,this is the idea, anything you say you cant get away from the begging factor cos thats what canvassing is its begging and some people will always abuse that always
anyway im sure ill never get away from it ,but im gona have a £1500 punt on 25,000 leaflets delivered maybe mid jan after i tweak my leaflet a bit (its more of a canvassing kind with a price box) what amazes me the most is they are going to be dropped in 1 day
i know even with bad canvassers you get at least 50% back say on first clean and this way i have no guarantees it is scary but lees figures so far have been intresting
ive worked out if i get say at least 50 paying customers ill be almost level or down 30% im hoping i can at least break even so i just want about 2 payers per thousand game on
