I look forward to reading your accounts.  I've been thinking about doing some canvassing in areas where I've already got work; just to increase the compacticity (there's not enough words in the English language for me, so I've got to make 'em up).

But that's where I go wrong, I end up thinking about it, and never get round to doing it.

This morning I've got to collect, I've then got three small(ish) jobs to do; just to tidy up some loose ends and then I'd like to door knock; maybe I'll do a street I'll be working in?

Anyway, good luck.


Tosh it worked for the President of the US when he was in power lol ;D ;D
I would be interested in how he gets on, I am going to give it a big effort over the easter holidays due to more people being in.

Day off tomorrow cos doing the Wirral Egg Run but back to it Monday .... all in all Im happy.

Well no canvassing today as I massively under estimated how long it woulf take me to 3 first cleans.

however my very first customer asked me to go see her mum who lives on same estate ... her windy stopped coming 3 months ago ... got the job @ £12

Now up to 4 @ £10 average .... 96 to go

Keep up the good canvassing work, ive been doing  a few w/c jobs for a few years now but only lately have i gone more serious about it atm i just do leaflets i tried door knocking hated it but might try it again soon.I posted about a 100 the other week got 4 jobs and thats the best return ive had from leaflets, but i do find if i dont get a call in a 3/4 days i dont usally get any.Are you in a town/city or rural area im rural suffolk ive seen a few w/c about but i do think there are is plenty of work but it's finding it.Id like to get a 100 customers as i only have about 20 at the moment well goodluck.

If the weather isn't very good tomorrow ill be out leaflet dropping if the weathers good ill be gardening as i do that to.I find every 100 leaflet dropped i get 2/3 call which seems to be quite good compared to others on here.I dont have fancy shinny leaflet i just print them at home 4 to a A4 page and they seem to be working ok expensive looking leaflets usally mean expensive job well thats how i think it comes across as.
