Ronnie,

Goeorge and his crew seem fine to me and  id like to think that i was a good judge of character.

Theyve done a superb job for me tonight and were very professional.

Ill keep you informed,

Dean

Hi Brett,

George has mentioned yourself to me with no bad words,

Also James from Xline.

Hope alls well mate,

Did you sell that RO?

Dean

hi dean

ive never met george can only pass on whst ive heard, did see him once he was talking to the guy he ws canvasing for they were cleaning a house that i had cleaned half an hour erlier..
my customer and i were both confused, then i went to do another house and my customer told me he said i had sold the round to them

i have no bad words for george as he has not canvassed for me but what i ve heard hes a sound guy its just the canvasses he uses

yes i also think he canvassed for james but im not sure

yes the ro's still for sale its just a matter of someone wanting one but moneys tight at the minute, james did me a good deal on it

regards

Brett.

Hi George

as i said earlier its unfair for people to point the finger, the police are dealing with the matter and i for one would not mention anyone name without proof

mark said you were having trouble with a couple of your young lads canvassing i must stress this was with pricing nothing else

as you know when your canvassing your not going to get positve comments from everyone but 2 cleans to pay for work is very good



regards

Brett

[brett walker]

Brett,
Surely you would pull up if you saw us cleaning one of yours after half an hour?? You have asked for my number from Mark and know all about me so you would have no issues. Can you please stop this smear campaign as its all without substance and is hearsay. If you have nothing constructive or solid to say please dont comment.

George as you would have known from mark, i asked him to pass a message on to you to canvass berryhill for me when i was feeling better as i had a lump and had to go to the cancer clinic.  As i was way behind with my work i thought she may have cancelled but this was not the case this is by no means a smear campaign and as i have said before there are no patches you can go where you like and charge what you like.

i  am merley comenting on what customer have said sorry if you dont like that mate but thats just how peole are

when there are a lot of break ins  in one area everyone gets the blame, window cleaners, canvasers, delivery men etc

i will have a word with my customer when she gets back from her holiday and give you an update

i have not accused i have just relayed what people have said
i will keep you informed

i'll give you a ring in the next couple of days

Brett

Hi George
what areas of the country do you cover? I could do with some professional help canvassing as time is tight at the minute with another business but im looking to expand again soon as.......

Best Regards

[jonnyald]

i was only curious what the picture was on the wesite,no big deal

[concept]

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your comments, Brett can you let me know details of the break in please?? Please call me on 07706 702070 or email george@gdrb.co.uk. Thanks. As for pressure its just not how we work. We only get clients who have no window cleaner or are unhappy with their current one. I have NEVER booked a job on price. We always end up with the customer paying more. Ask my cleaners, I have done the same for Dean today...

As for Concept, I was much more let down by you my friend, sending me into an area with unrealistic prices is just not do able. i also dont like being laughed at when I mention the prices I was getting. Also working together is a personal thing and I chose not to work with you. Simple.

As for my website and office situation, I built the website so its not great and does the pic on there really matter that much??? I would also like to know if me having an office is really an issue? Do you guys have an office?? guess most of you dont.....

The work situation is also a simple one, I only have a small team at the moment so I dont need masses of work, in fact I generally have people waiting.

If anyone would like to talk to me about any of the issues call me on 07706 702070 or email me on george@gdrb.co.uk

George

£10 minimum for a 2 or 3 bed semi, in this area, is not unrealistic, well, the rate my round is building, it can't be, and I am sure others in my area will state the same. Truth of the matter is, you went out, and didn't have a huge hit rate within the first x amount of minutes, and decided to bin it, be man enough to admit it, as I and many others have canvassed this area, and know it is extremely tough.

Why bother putting contact details up? You wont answer, will make up an excuse about your phone, and pretend someone else is texting from it. Be careful, you might get charged "expenses" for his phone bill...

Think very carefully if you want this "company" to build a round for you.

Personally, I am thankful for my experience with GD Roundbuilders, it has shown me that if I want to build a round professionally, to do it myself.

Thanks George.

Concept.

would you like to come and do some canvassing for me ?   your less than an hour away and if any good which I think you will be I will give you a top notch write up on here.

Sorry George wasn't having a go at you but your just to far away for me mate and you and your team seem to be very busy anyway.

Steve, don't know if I should be taking your comment as tongue in cheek....however...I am not a canvasser, I am a window cleaner.

Get out and canvas your company, YOU are the face of that company, YOU know what work YOU want, YOU know how you want YOUR company to be represented, YOU know what price YOU are happy to work for.

In my experience of canvassers, which is limited to attempted contact with 5 companies, only 2 ever getting back to me, many days after initial contact, they are lead by 1 person, who pays a few unprofessional people to knock on doors for cash, in an attempt to make a quick buck at your expense. A wholly unethical and unprofessional to business, however, if there was to be a professional and presentable team out there, they may have some success.

Its horses for courses though, and if it works for you, fine, after my experiences, I chose not to go this way.

[stephen s]

hi mate.

no it wasn't tongue in cheek it was a genuine request,  and although I know your right I really would prefer someone who's been there so to speak and a window cleaner is even better as they know exactly  how much to price.

if you have a couple of spare days and fancy a change of scenery then let me know

[aiminvestor]

Gd round builders, George and his crew have canvassed all over mine and another window cleaners work on here which is fair play as there is no such thing as patches

ive had some bad feedback from customers saying they were pressured, asking if they were happy with their window cleaner is he on time?
etc etc they were very pushy

now it seems the other day there has been a house broken into and they seem to be pointing the finger their way! which could be unfair

ihave heard good and bad things from Mark Richardson one of georges friends but we all know when we all canvass work we dont get to keep all the work we get one off's and time wasters

i would like to state i have never met george or his lads so i cant comment on their character

regards

Brett.

What area are you talking about here pls?

i agree there aren't any "patches, but pressurising people to change when they are happy seems a little rough!

[dave green]

To ture concept YOU are your company just go out and do it yourself EASY!
its a commission based role so of course they will be pushy,tell u anything just to get the deal and get paid!

[Steve CM]

You may pull the odd job but you wont build a business long term.

i better give up now then

[Dean Taberner]

Id just like to add that George and his team have done a superb job for my business over the last couple of days.

Weve been on the work that he canvassed last night today and the majority of it has paid on the day and the rest will be collected tomorrow.

Also we are on the work thats been canvassed today in the morning im 100% confident of a repeat of today.

Well done George and thank you for your efforts.

Dean

[Steve CM]

i just had to pick you up on your miss judgement. It is tough round here but the strong survive

[Sean Dyer]

I think alot of the canvassers success will depend on the prices being realistic for the area, if you feel you are worth more get up and canvass yourself, but to send a canvasser out i think you need to price keenly to get bundles of work fast!!

Out of interest dean what average for 3 bed semi, no conny has canvasser been aiming for???

[Steve CM]

you seem a little touchy mate, i would of thought banging on doors for a living would make you thick skinned?

£8 on average and £10 with conny sean. Some are more some are less.

Seems reasonable to me mate, i bet you are bagging plenty of work

DId you find an area with no cleaner for canvassing, or did you just get him to knock an area you are already in??

How much work did you find per night

Hope you dont mind me asking?

[Steve CM]

Your painting the picture. i've dealt with a few companys and it all re-enforces why i have my own canvassers. good luck in business and all the best!
