Madness!See what you have done there is form an opinion without having all the facts. It was in fact part of my business plan to have vans first. There were several reasons for this based on finance and purchase price ect, I dont feel the need to go right into it but it certainly wasnt madness. They have been great as spares along the way and the next one goes out in 2 weeks time and the last in 3 months time.Just because it was planned doesn’t make it the best way forward. Aside from the wasted money and profit, who needs that level of pressure?Ok. In that case tell me the best way forward John, I am always happy to get good advice. I had a 3 year business plan to reach the goal that we are exactly on target to achieve 6 months ahead of time. I asume you have been there and done it so let me know your experience and what I should be doing. Can you start by letting me know what stage your business is at now please? Vans, customer base size, yearly turnover and your plan moving forward. ThanksSince you ask. 3 vans, 1,250 customers. 2 vans full doing £400 a day each. Third van half full. Aiming to be full by mid July. I’ve got 7 part time leaflet deliverers in towns and 30,000 Royal Mail delivered to out of town areas leaflet droppers can’t reach. 27 new customers last week. I’ll probably get to 5/6 vans and stick. Should turnover £250,000 this year. Not on your scale but it doesn’t need to be to have an opinion.

Sorry, Royal Mail deliveries on 24th May or thereabouts. That will be interesting as it’s the first mass drop I’ve done.
