Re: 900 new customers by October 2014

86 new customers in December is a bold move in my opinion. I don't take any new customers in December....

Why not?? If you dont take them on someone else will, its like giving work to your competition.
I only picked up 3 in december that came out to me! But done there 2nd cleans last week with no problems and all paid. Its a bit of a myth everyone wanting a xmas 1 off. The ones that do normally say they just want a 1 off if you ask them.


Not a myth in my experience. 15 Decembers I have been cleaning windows, I stopped taking on new customers in December about 5 years ago.

I take their details and do them in January.
They're eeeting the dogs.
They're eeeting the cats.
They're eeeting the pets,
of the people who live there.

Good luck Ian, I'm trying something along the same lines, but set the target at a 1000  ;)by the end of the year, been out canvassing this month, but have already found that keeping up with new first cleans can be tough, poss thinking that a van and a man may be needed just for first cleans. I think it can be done, but it's a lot of hard work! Hope it goes well for you, will keep an eye on your post to see how things are going.

well this expansion lark not as easy as it would seem  ::)roll

dan and myself have been out canvassing all day today and half of yesterday  (commercial job in morning) and all day tuesday ... monday off ill with man flu and sorting tax return ............ so far this week we got 13 new customers between us  :'( so dont think we will do weeks target of 45.

however if I count from last sat it gives us 18 so far ... maybe 2 tomorrow so 20 for a week which at that rate will see us do our 900 target give or take.

lighter nights on way so plan from next week is to finish a little earlier at 3ish and canvass till its dark

the work is out there .... just we struggled to find it this week  :)
