hi Gary , the best way i have found to pick up new customers is to stand outside the local supermarket , there is a little londis store in the middle of a big development where part of my round is ,which is used by mostly local residents . I simply ask if i could take there post code ,if its AL1 bingo the area i work, i then ask if there windows have been cleaned recently or do they have a wc ask what type house 3 4 bed ect . offer to give them quote , after only about 1-2 hours you should have about 25 leads, this method takes you to places you proberbly wouldnt canvass . give them a rough estimate there and then i say between £10 and £20 as ive turned up before and the lady said she was only paying £4.50 to the last guy . Qualify them then close them . Good Luck Steve J
