New Canvasser Started Today

As long as it turns out quality work not bad indeed. /emoticons/happy.png

How are you paying him?

 
40 for 2 and possibly another 12 for the one who is going to call.

I'm paying him £5 a lead at the moment but I might put it up

 
So he only got £15 for 5 hours work? Don't think he will be sticking with that job somehow do you?

What if the lead turns out no good do you claw back all or part of the payment from the chap like dg companies do.

 
I was thinking about it before. I was going to pay him the first clean for every job he gets in. The price structure I came up with was from a forum but I don't think it's good enough seeing it in practice, anyway he text me and said he didn't want to do it anymore.

 
I would have maybe paid £10 an hour + commision for every lead that turns into regular work.

 
£10+ sod that, I pay £5 per clean after I've checked they are ok, the lad who does it for me is happy with that and been doing it a while

 
So going by that he doesn't need to earn much money then /emoticons/smile.png

How much new biz has he got you then?

 
The lad who did it for me a few years ago used to get me a full days first cleans everyday. Every time I finished a job he would have another on for me to clean

 
So did the guy come out with you while you worked he door knocked in the same street?

 
Yeah it worked quite well. The problem is I know loads of people who 'need work.' When I ask them to canvass they say no. So I ask them to clean windows while I canvass and they still say no. Hhmm thought you needed work!

 
That's the problem as most ppl hate door knocking & challenging work like window cleaning especially when using ladders.

 
I use the poles so no excuse really. I must offer work to someone every two weeks then they text me half an hour after they are due to start with some kind of excuse why they can't work

 
I'm struggling getting someone to go Canvassing for me. Would it be worth training someone up to do my cleaning and me going out Canvassing?
I built my run by canvassing by myself and cleaning as I went along. After 15 months of doing this I currently have 318 customers. Another year should see me where I need to be. The satisfaction I get from reaping the rewards for 15 months of hard graft is amazing.

Mine has been getting me at the minimum 8 and max 15 working 6-9 he's studying his a-levels so heshappy for the extra cash and he's very good at it and great at pricing actually prices most higher than I would
