Richy,

Have you tried doing it yourself, the first couple of doors are hard at first but after that you will gain confidence and think it is a doddle. 

[richyp]

dont think that is for me as i dont like having the door shut in my face, haha. i think you have to be quite thick skinned to sell, wot do you think?

[DASERVICES]

My first question is do you have a window cleaner, if they say yes then say thanks and leave. No doors shut in your face.

[peter holley]

knocking can be hard but once u get started it's ok...... sometimes you can get disheartened with it , but when u go out and pick up a dozen houses in an hour it can be a real buzz...

my advice is drive around and find areas you would like to target, and then start knocking about 4pm in the evening or a bit earlier.... your best off talking to the lady of the  house ,as they are more likely to say yes 

so going at the right time plays a part....plus you start getting to know the custie from the start

yeah, know what you mean but i hate rejection when it comes to business.i  would rather pay someone to do the job because i think it is too much hassel. i think u have to be suited to that kind of work, and dont think i am. i have had a reach and wash system for around 8 years now and know i havent made the most of it. i have always depended on the yellow pages and yel.com but in my opinion, r  very over rated. what do you think?

[DASERVICES]

Bit like finding the sheep in amongst the goats in Taffy's area 

In England you have too many window cleaners to choose from in yellow pages, in Scotland you take the phone off the hook as there will only be probably 3 of you. 

Get a card in local shops and supermarkets, don't know where you live but a lot of window cleaners also use Gumtree on the web. Do not know how succesful that is.

Or put leaflets on car windows outside shops.

Or put a sign up along the raod.

Loads of ideas to think about.

I pay others to do this for me also, I have in feb a canvsser starting work for us fully time instead of paying others, this way i can mould to what i really want and done the way I want it.

Knocking on doors is soul distroying, if you are not very good it really does paint a very back picture so this has to be thought of before going knocking on a door.

I dont have a problem paying companies out there that do this service I have used a few over the years, i am now am in a position to have someone employed to do it which is great, should have done this long time ago.
