[MWC]

I really am going to start canvassing again. Whats your opening line when they open the door?

My opening line is normal but the 2nd is quite naughty but it works..i say the normal hi do you use a window cleaner etc etc.. for every one who says no i say great my friend was made redundant and started a window cleaning round and we are out gaining him customers so he doesnt have to go down the signing on the dole route. It works a treat and isnt a lie as the lad who does that round for me was made redundant before he was with me.
I get michelle saying she is helping her uncle get more customers for he's round which is simple and to the point and customers warm to her being female especialy the old girls.
The way i get £10 fronts so easy is i say ill do there gutters free once a year if needed which is another reason i target main roads as the gutters stay clean and never get blocked from leaves etc and as of yet in 3 years havnt had any requests to do the gutters so has gone in my favour risking doing gutters for free.
Just a little thinking out of the box goes a long way.

Sounds like something a gypo says........

2 of us tonight in the freezing cold, we got 15 in 2 hours but didnt knock many of he's old customers so wasnt that bad at all considering a lot didnt open there doors.
All were £10 front and sides.i got 9 and michelle got 6 so £150 extra a month costing me just £30.

Cracking story and results

Regarding paying a canvasser I've a pal who's interested in doing some for me

Just unsure how to sort the payment term that's right for him and me

I take him you pay him per custy

But do you also pay for hours canvassed too ??

Advice appreciated

Thanks

No just for new customers i pay. Never canvassing time unless they are on there first few days while learning. Pay between £5 and £10 per lead and after all the dropouts and 1 off brigade customers you will be quids in or better still have canvasser replace any dropouts they get, i dont get them to replace as even if half drop out im still quids in.
Happy growing and i hope to hear your canvass success story soon.

Lead/customer.
Yes get canvasser to find out a out access issues for you etc. i only target mainly fronts as most cleaners tend to stay away which makes victorian terrace an easy canvass, especialy when they are converted flats.
Keep it simple and you will be on for a winning run.

Im paying 75% till he gets prices spot on then it will be 100%
Im going round for a while with him and give him a breakdown of prices etc.

yes 75% of the job so if he gets £200 worth of work he gets £150 if it turns out to be a one off i get the 75 % back!
