has usual you cant help your self, maybe you be the business coach no2 you know so much and are so opinionated always right you could make all our businesses multi million pound ones.

so i guess im wrong and your right end of story....

[Tosh]

Ah, c'mon Ronnie, I'm only winding you up mate; you're just too easy.  Since Squeaky has stopped 'chomping' at my digs at him you're second best.

But I still stand by what I say with regards to losing work to sub-contractors.  It's a risk you've got to be prepared to take if you sub work out and if they're hungry for it, and if they've got a bit of nouce about them, they will try.

I know I did!

[ronnie paton]

wrong in my opionion you trust this person and eeven maybe help them work through tough times, there is to be some morals in life and business and i can say i wouldnt do it.

if some one was to sub to me and i was happy with the amount and they was happy with there cut then why back stab this man, its below the belt and wrong.

[Tosh]

Ronnie,

You talk about having morals, but you're the one that's been to prison for physically assaulting someone; not me.

Okay, I admit I've been to jail too, but my time in nick was because I went AWOL to join the French Foriegn Legion; there's a big difference!

Back in the mo; the Long-haired-Sergeant-Major is beckoning me...

You said you 'smacked him 'cos he was an arrogant prick like me'?

Are you telling fibs again, Ronnie?

 

[ronnie paton]

[Tosh]

Honest!  Enough!  Have a nice weekend; talk about something else!

STOP!

I dont rate leafleting at all. we had 120,000 done through royal mail last year at a cost of £7000 and didnt even get half of the modest figure we predicted. However i do think that many for £300 is a very good price. I think door knocking is a much better way to spend your time. but as you have them now try to find a teenager to join you for some pocket money and cover the area twicw as fast.

I agree in my area (and I do think this may be different for different areas) leaflets havent got me nothing ( well almost) Ive had 15,000 done in batches of 5,000 with a different formal on each, ive delivered about half in equal measures and Ive come to the conclusion that for me, its just not worth it, you can't beat door knocking and recomendaions. I have just had printed recommend a friend vouchers and I think these will work for me. I will definately waste no more money and effort in leaflets. however as Ive stated this is my area, if your thinking of leafleting test your own area out - you might do ok.

[colley614]

just out of interest what sort of success were you getting per 1000?

[Jimmy1]

0-1 sometimes 2-3 months later.

[colley614]

out of the 1000 I posted last week I got 1 job. was hoping for the 5% rule people mention. Doesn't look like I will though, Even if I got 20 semi's from 20,000 leaflets I wouldn't mind. I spent £1000 on the BT phone book and haven't had one phone call since June.

who told you 5% rule ?, because to be honest they are talking out of there backside, you will be doing well on 1% anything over is great, you have to also remember a leflet is not something that will get customers over night, weeks and months will pass and you will get calls, you have sowed and you will reep, not great but it will happen. that is unless your leafelt is bad then that would go out the window.

[colley614]

I agree with you on that ian. I was hoping for one job per thousand. I was thinking of picking 4 areas and just keep canvassing them on a 4 weekly cycle rather than 20,000 different addresses so then I'm building up a brand in them areas.

Even if I did get 1 job per thousand it would still be 20 semi's at least. Hopefully just from first cleans I would make my £300 back. If not I've learned a good lesson

4 £10 customers would pay for them in a year, think of it that way. 

[colley614]

Yeah plus that suns getting ready to come out now. I'd rather be out with a hand full of leaflets than sat by the telephone sulking.
