I'm thinking of taking someone on just to quote domestic while i'll take care of commercial.

What I have in mind at the moment is to have someone self employed do 8 hours per week and then invoicing me at the end of each month.

What basic rate do you think is fare? £10 ph, then mileage? Then should I pay a % of got he gets and what would be the bets way to track that without too much effort?

This is only a temporary solution, next year I will employ someone to do this 16 hours.

DG firms like safestyle just pay commission only to canvassing/sales teams on results after the windows etc have been fitted.
I can't see that really working for self employed window cleaning canvassers/sales bods though as the profit margins are very small.

After saying that if going down the commission only route you would have to pay them commission x-times the value of cleans to make it worth their while. Then maybe on top an hourly rate to keep them interested as door knocking can be sole destroying at the best of times.

Finding a good self employed canvasser/sale pearson willing to work for you only 8 hours a week that is not going to try ripping you off and/or cause you load of grief will defo be a chalange for sure.

Good luck with that one

That's not what he said................. £10/hr plus mileage & commission. I worked self employed and was paid £0.00p an hour........ that must deserve a LOL
