Hi,

I used one last month just for one night to get a taster for a new area I was considering. I asked for £250 worth Of work . They achieved this. They came across as professional on the phone, but when they turned up they looked a right shower with no uniforms apart from the boss. One had his leg in plaster & was hopping up & down garden paths. I feel if they looked more professional they would get a far better response from the householder.  The boss followed up with after care calls & I feel was generally interested in providing a good service.

I decided this area was not for me in the end.

sounds like your sorted, I am guessing 8k of work was in your time span as that is a long time for that amount.

In my opinion if its £8,000 worth of quality work, it should not matter if it takes till February to get this amount. In my experience its not about how little or how much the company are costing or how quickly they can build you a round, its about quality of work, customers perception of the canvasser on their door step or on the telephone, its all about trusting the canvasser to make the right impressions. At the end of the day its your hard earned money and its worth remembering, you never get something for nothing.  WW who's uniform do they wear? Yours or something with canvassing team on it? As i would not want them wearing that, i want them to give the impression that they work for my company not on behalf of. Just my opinion of course.

You mean to a canvass company??
surely its the same difference, only more long term and paid weekly instead of lump sum??
