You get allsorts of people answer the door or not answer the door lol .
I actually knocked on a window cleaners house last night but he doesnt work the areas around where he lives and gave me an address of someone on the estate that wants a cleaner .

The way I see it is this day in age if you want something you have got to go out there and get it
Ive learned the hard way ive wasted numerous flyers to not get a sniff .
Dont get me wrong ive had a couple of calls from flyers but not puck up half as much work than door knocking .

As mr whizz put it to me the once he said you have already done half the job walking up the drive so you may aswell knock the door whilst you are there .
Also it  has been said the amount of people who just bin flyers without even looking what they are
Is a big number of people , I even do it myself all these flyers I just chuck them straight in the recycling bin .

I call the people that go mad at the door screamers, its an occupational hazard unfortunately. They are few and far between and funny thing is I find people are alot braver screaming at you on the phone than they are at the door.

 Ive had many many many customers say to me "oh I never buy at the door normally" Its all how you put yourself  across.

My attitude is this every NO is one step closer to a YES. Never dwell on the no's and just keep on moving on.

Leaflets are great if you got loads of work already, but its so slow and Ive actually followed up massive leaflet drops and even seen the flyers in the recycle bin outside then booked them in.

Hi whizz. I love it. How you doing at the mo with business?? If not too busy or you have a spare night soon Then I challange you to a canvassing dual for a bit of fun next time your near se london, as your a decent honest canvasser.
If you win ill pay you 3x monthly value on what you get me and if i win i get what you canvass for me for free.??
Are you in??.  ;D
I would be up for a dual and would take you up on the deal, BUT and this is a BIG BUT, not if it was for your own personal round. Reason being its too in your favour, your round, your patch, you judging who the winner is  . I hearby suggest you come to Essex for a few days over the next three weeks.     
essex will be fine, will have to be within working distance for me though to do the work. Or we could just hit a random area so would be totally fair and sell the work to someone else when we are done and winner gets 75% and loser 25% of the 2 clean value.
after we will see who's the daddy..... Lol.

comebip my way I will be the judge and I will pay the winner I have an area you could work for 2 days straight not touched for ages
If your not willing to learn, No one can help you, If you are determined to learn, No one can stop you ;)

no would only be a 1 day event hit 20 od deals each then do 1 after winner is paid, id only be happy charging ian 1-1.5 cleans though as im not prepared to go back and replace cancelations if there is any.
If you get to a londonbound train station ill drive us up there and drive us back, no need to scare anyone off charging accomodation and travel!. Are you scared you will lose???. Lol. Winner can pay the loser £50 for trying. So at least you get a £50 for your troubles.... ;D
