Just through canvassing 3 nights a week with 2/3 canvassers. Only been getting average results each time so dont think i will hit target. this month i had a touch with a window cleaner retireing and letting me know all he's old customers.
Some choose leaflets, facebook, website etc. i just choose to knock on doors and chase the work myself.

And then target 200 more.
Also hoping to start wheelie bin cleaning by the summer.

It's a great position to be in. I've got 19 first cleans booked in for next week. What's you plans for the next 6 months?

Are you continuing canvassing once you have work for the two vans or will you be content?

I'm looking to take on another 2 this year at least and another canvasser

Let me know the results of your canvass after a leaflet drop. I have never done it that way before. I see it as a waste of time leafletting but would love to be proved wrong by you on it.

I thought i had enough work for 2 vans already but due to all the guys on here saying how much they can do in a day i decided to up each day by £50-100.
yes ill stop once all canvassing is done and then spend some money on new vans(prob lease)and top of the range systems so will have minimal problems for work and my role can be to pure water and sit on my bum all day unless i need to cover sick/holiday or replace a few customers here and there. I have an office girl do all the paper work keeping all in order and sorting out wages and sending information to accountant. to get out of debt was the reason for me to have the 2nd round and it has done its deed. Now it can help me float along.
im thinking ill start a canvassing company up next year so i can help others build up to there desired level of business without ripping them off.

Yes thats a must to go out with whoever is canvassing. It stops them straying and signing up anyold crap.
you should easily hit your target windie. I doubt i will but even if takes an extra 6 months ill still be happy.
Where in the uk are you?.

Im in cleethorpes Mick on the east coast.
My canvassers starts monday so im hoping for big figures from him,hes doing 2 days a week.
Ive picked up another 3 jobs today so i will start to get my new custys count upto date.
Im in the process of setting up the wheelie bin cleaning too,
Got to ring the environment agency up tommorow,regarding getting rid of the waste water.
Targets are bench marks but im sure you have very good rounds all ready as you have 2 vans.
 Im finally taking it all serious after plodding along waiting for the work to come to me.
 I would love to have a second van by the end of the summer.
 Then im worried about finding someone i can trust to run the other van.
