Out last night and gained £125 per month of work.
Not many in and 70% happy with current cleaner.

Back out again tonight!

I can't wait to get going. Anyone else growing their business for 2013?

Yes mate im at it too. Not a bad result at all there. I was out and only picked up £60 worth last night but every little helps, its best to work out what you achieve month by month instead of by day i find. Last month i picked up an extra £880 a month all from soley canvassing. Hoping to hit the same or better this month. Just keep knocking.

What % would you expect to be good long term customers?

[roundbuilder]

Well george says i have been through 2753 customers 38 on suspended and i have 1344 current customers mainly monthly with a small percent at 8weekly so i have roughly a 50 percent retention overall over the last 5 years which id say is quite good going.

Interesting comparison to my own figures. Since I started here in Ireland in August 2011 I have had 363 customers. Around 170 are regular/semi regular, I have dropped 6 and the rest are one-offs or ring me when they need me.

Yes i think anything around the 50% mark retaining as a regular is on to a winning run. Anything below id question my ability to do the job properly.

I will be canvassing when i get caught up.
Im hoping for 100 new custys and then tie up the contract im getting.
I will need to take someone on then and then i will be canvassing for another 200 custys.

Quite easy in fact to easy if im honest as finishing by 2-2.30 most days.its only  25 a day for each of the 2 vans im actualy canvassing heavy at the mo to up them so everyday will be 35 a day.
All my work has been canvassed to my needs which has mainly been well priced fronts and made sure everything is compact.

Never realy canvass in the day deangsi the few times i have have been crap unless its  the weekend where you can pick up loads in the day. Between 5.30 and 8.30 mon to fri i find by far the best time to get out knocking and anytime within reason weekends.
