Result for you mate.

What I always struggle with is the market is one size, some use us, some do not and some are just crap that gets picked up and then dropped. The ones that use us are generally quite loyal and pass our names on to their friends or we leaflet and call back or are called back, but the customer buys into you then.
This is where I feel canvassing companies will always struggle.

I dont think they could even price cheaply to gain the work as it may be hard to sell, so I don't see them driving down prices.
Time will tell eh?

[wfp master]

Another canvasser its not a new thing.

[Joe Martin]

Hopefully they will drive up prices and every proper window cleaning business will benefit. Its a gamble? if they canvass a round and then sub it out to a half wit ( if its cheap) then it will come crashing down.
Hopefully they will price to the area. Respect for having a go.

[king marko]

Is he subbing it to you then Franky? Given it to you for free? Or have you parted with some well earned?
Be nice to know the in's & out's  

Subbing out across the country?
Look forward to those £5 cleans inside & out then

A few months ago this firm quoted one of our commercials.

Thankfully they didnt get it, the building manager did not like the fact they were national.

right johns team got me £500 p/week or £26k a year,i paid him £6750 which is 3months down payments and a  extra £2k,if you keep it 12months,after the 12months the price varies but does come down a fair bit,and is worked out on a percentage.
they do and well do spot checks to ensure that the work is being cleaned,

johns team leader/sales guy is a slim barry

looking forward to see how other get on.

What happens if you start lossing some of the work?

[Frankybadboy]

all work lost is replaced,and you only pay on what you work

art that is what ive paid for.
but believe me in real terms cause johns team was so good ive had a lot more than that

[roundbuilder]

What a load of tosh!
Im guessing the commercial side is drying up!.
Paying that much to sub work??. 3 cleans plus 2k???. So 4 cleans just to have the work for a year? Are you dizzy or something or have i read it wrong??

Franky, I don't mean to be picky but you have paid more than 3xs the monthly, which is fine as your happy but as a guniea pig for a new venture, it aint no favour in my eyes

No sounds like he has been right shafted!!.

[roundbuilder]

For 6k when i was canvassing for others id have got you 3k of work 36k a year and be yours for ever not just a year. seriosly i dont like to see people having the p taken out of them. You shouldnt pay anywhere near that much!! Your just making someone else rich for there minimal input of supplying the work.
