i need to go canvas! ant tip's for me? pleeeease

[PoleKing]

Just go for it.
Be polite.
The more doors you knock the greater your customer count will probably be.
Don't be afraid of rejection.

[robertphil]

prepare  yourself to be rejected at every house,then when you get a nice reply thats a bonus

[rick trinder]

thanks guys. i am waiting on my uniform to be ready then i will hit the streets with the wife to!

Smart but casual dress - clean shaven - nice aftershave and packet of mints

Although you may have butterflies take a deep breath and be confident - keep the pitch simple and straight forward - have a notepad and stick to your guns on price
Don't be too cheap !

You should get around 75% of what you quote - that will show you if you are about right for the area.

Do an hour to two hours and take a break before doing some more - always be positive polite and smile. Never per judge a house clean or dirty !

I've picked up really clean shiny properties just because the owner has decided that it's too much effort to keep them clean, likewise dirty places may just not have had a windy in that area for a while.

Big or small the worst they can say is no - if that happens just say thanks for your time - here's my card should you ever require my services.

Good luck - it's not easy to knock doors!

You will comeback all dejected.
After 2 or 3 knock backs you need 10 pints or punch someone in the face.
Its horrible.

[dave0123]

Its not horible its just life.. same when you get people nocking on your door what do you do? usually say no or dont even answer. You just gotta keep going

[northstar161]

Be positive, Be friendly, and remember that every 'no' is closer to a yes. If you continue to go where the bullets of rejections fly you will get used to it (and even enjoy it!).

Good Luck.

[windiewasher]

Dont bother,goto the job centre instead.
