 I'm in the same boat.I work 4 nights a week.holds me back loads.if I wasn't doing the 4 nights I think I would have a lot more work and determination.
Im going to start really going for it again.
March April I want to be doing windows full time


well done ian thats impressive 500 customers are how many fall within a 4 weekly cycle? still building my round and wonderede how many your able to manage to clean in a month?  :)

what an inspiration this old post was for igniting the canvassing ambition again. i still hold a couple of part time jobs to top my money up but honestly feel at times its a distraaction to building my wc biz.
Takings off all first cleans till march 7th 2014
October  total=  cleaned  extra per month
November = cleaned extra per month
Total £  so far.

Rain stopped play ... what a crappy day  :(


Hi Mark ... 85% ish are every month rest 2 monthly ... trad on a good day can now do 20 houses but normal day would be 14 to 18 approx with wfp would expect that to rise to low 20's or even more but not done it yet so will have to see.

yep part time jobs are a hindrence to the window cleaning but if like me you have big bills then you gotta do what you gotta do ... if u have a few p/t jobs then set yourself a target along lines of ... another 40 customers than I can drop 1 of my part time jobs.

My car sales background has definately helped with the canvassing but having a daily goal and monthly goal is the best way to get to where you want / need to be.

Decide how many customers u want by March / April and work backwards e.g. if u want another say 80 customers by end of April then get a calender and mark it off like this ...APRIL 80 ....MARCH 60 ...... FEB 40........ JAN 20 ...... DEC 10 .....NOV 5

so if by end of Nov u have 5 new customers then u on target if u only on 3 new customers then u know u gotta canvass more  ;) .....

Cheers Ian.time to  get my but in gear and really push it.I have a canvasser but he's a bit busy lately.I'm gonna go knocking with him in the next week.so hoping to get a fair bit of work from that.
To be honest I will set a Target.of 100 more custys by April.
I have got.3 new ones today and one on Saturday through word of mouth.I'm hoping for a big commercial contract that I'm.trying to tie up.but not getting heart set on it but if I.pull it off.it could be worth 1500 plus a month.
I'm in the same boat.I work 4 nights a week.holds me back loads.if I wasn't doing the 4 nights I think I would have a lot more work and determination.
Im going to start really going for it again.
