Good time of year?
Bad time of year?
I think it should be good.

I started up in November 2005. Spent the November. January. February and March canvassing like mad. I remember being freezing cold some days just plodding the streets canvassing - but it got me started 

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

I have done an hour and a half of leafleting and am looking forward to the results.

Out of choice ??

[deeege]

A roller coaster of a month for me. Lost a £14k/year contract (2nd biggest but best hourly) and gained a £8k/year contract almost the next day.

Domestic have picked up 4 x £15 jobs and lost 1 x £12.

yep,look after my loyal customers who looked after me all year

tell any new customer will have to wait to jan or feb or when next back around

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

Any TIPS for me Franky?

[Frankybadboy]

yes if they wait until the new year then they are going to be good customers

turn down today a mum and daughter both wanted gutter facia windows and conny roof clean roughly £110 each
told them the same,we see if they call back in the new year

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

Surely you could of squeezed them in?

[George P]

i dont turn work down no matter what time of year, if we can do it we will, picked up a fair amount of extra work in the last few weeks and done them, plus 4 quotes going out tomorrow, will be done next week or week after if we get any of them, 

[stuart mc]

I agree with franky, that said if you need work take it, but long term franky is spot on

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

What does 'need' mean?

What does 'need' mean?

If you require it to pay your bills.

If you are comfortable now then December customers are usually just after a one off clean, may cancel in the new year.

If you have spare time though then why not. Unless you want to spend more time arta home. That's good to do this time if the year.

New 'regular' customer tonight, been begging for over a week for me to clean.
I say 'it's direct debit or twice the price for first clean'
Text in tonight 'my husband thinks we're better off until the building work finishes before we arrange a clean'

Do you now?!

Close call for me tbh. She's a friend if an existing customer, nearly went, charging low(ish) and it'd turned out to be a 1 off!

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

Think i wont bother then! waste of time this December thing!

[PoleKing]

Not at all.
You may get a lot of one offs but some people are desperate.
Get paid in cleared funds before you start and 3x regular price.
Could be a money spinner if you've got the time

[pdale]

There's still plenty of work out there, I'm still canvassing.

[harunh]

Im picking up around 12-16 new customers per week

The customers that u pick up in the winter are the best customers
