Whizz

It's just that the houses you seem to target are on the low price side...

If I hired a canvasser I would want them to canvass areas where the average clean price would be £25 - £30... It seems you would be out of your comfort zone canvassing the larger houses??

No be does them but you could get higher cancelation rate or demanding customers ie time date for each clean so fronts work well he hasn't really got a bad cancelation rate cos of that its actually better for cleaner then it is canvasser he has to work harder. ;)

The problem with big houses is theres always some ladder nutter probably the Pete Thompsons of this industry doing them for £12 and I've found once you hit anything over £30 its the call me brigade, If I handed over loads of call me next months Id get crucified by the cleaner.

Lets take my favourite deal £7 FRONT thats £2.33 a hole and Ill get 15 in 1 road. Only move the van once and thats to go home.

Then you clearly don't have a clue what you're doing.

On a lighter note big thanks to Becci coming on and "GETTING INVOLVED" and Im sure she has plenty more to input as I know everyone would like to hear more

All canvassers are welcome to strut there stuff on this and have their say and if any cleaners know exactly what the other crews are up to, again lets hear about it.

Ive noticed loads of cleaners asking about whats out there in regards to canvassing crews but no one is really saying if value for money or showing any kind of breakdowns.

Lets see it  8)

Edited : there waa no need for me to go off on one!!! ;D
, heard nothing but good stuff about whizz bizz, but also heard good stuff about Pdale on this forum.
Mate of mine uses becci swan and does nothing but sing her praises, so it seems there are a few good ways of gaining work at the moment.
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

if i liked canvassing id do it myself, but i dont i hate it, and i think the person sees that when they open the door and i look uncomfortable.
whizz is in my area this week and has shown me a few streets hes been down and managed to pull up to 10 customers in a street which is very good considering how many window cleaners are around here.
never bothered with fronts only but if there close it must be quicker than messing around with pulling a hose round the back and getting gates unlocked. and if there happy with service they will be likely too want whole house done and ive only paid for half to be canvassed. :)
no one can tell how many people will drop off afterwards but thats a gamble you take.

It's a good post whizz .

We had some people speak up recently on Sps but strangly still only 2


even yourself not enough of your customers come on to give feed back I think its important that everyone gives opinions on canvassers used and value for money

Rather then getting excited on names and numbers
and here says of regular its important that

You look at How much have you spent?
how much have you had back ?
How annoying was the process?


And how long has it been? if you can show a profit or breaking even within around 2-4 months i would say that canvassers worth investing again in

The most recent canvasser I used was becci in my particular case its so far worked well she has really worked hard to produce me plenty of leads here is the breakdown


I won't count lost time on round will just look at figures
it has been a couple of months ( a good period to look at)
I have spent £350
Had back a profit of £160
I also have lined up another £102.50 of profit by nov 29th
Which provided the new cleans don't change dates or refuse to pay which they shouldn't :) Will bring me up to £262.50 profit the turn over was higher but I'm just Focusing on profit as that's what puts bread on your table ;)

I also have the promise of regular from most of the jobs cleaned
So come December and jan (its all 2 monthly) I should be in profit by a other £200 which will bring me up to £462.50 so £118 actual profit, I never take customers word until its cleaned and payed been in the game too long to get excited over what customers promise ;)

I also have an appointment today the rate I've been getting them has been good so always have a good chance today too

Most of my profit and projected profit by end nov was based on the last 2 times
Unfortunalty this recent time I had a few appointments that canceled which hasn't helped my chase to break even as fast as I was hoping

looking at these figures i would say they are good
would I use her again?  Yes defo it works for me

even on a law of averages I'm obviously going to have repeat cleans and that's what it's all about

Would be good to hear some details as mine about all the other canvassers
It's important ! Or your personal Experience bad or good !

LOL I bring some reality.

And I wouldn't class reading my old posts and talking to me by name as "ignoring me".
