Cost Myself £30 Today...

[Tuffers]

But... I've been offering a free clean to any of my custies if they get me more clients. One rang me this morning and said her nephew needs a windy. I quoted it at £15. The good bit is it's 2 minutes from me and they said no one cleans in their road. Canvassing on the horizon me thinks!

Sounds promising good luck

Not sure if I would go down that route myself but if it works for you fair play /emoticons/wink.png

I thought about it when first started selfemployed but thinking about it now would have lost ££££££ but good luck with it.

Because there's a firm that's got the area sewn up, or maybe not. I've never really thought about working so close to home. Maybe I should

closer to home means less travelling time=lunchbreak at home!

Most times I've had a customer say that there's no window cleaners in their street, I've had to go no further than two houses in either direction to find out they were wrong.

People are very lazy when it comes to finding a window cleaner which is why canvassing is so good for picking up new business.

Exactly- plus common sense would tell you that just because you don't see a window cleaner on the one day of the month/2 month that he's in your road doesn't mean he does exist!

A lot of the customers that tell you that have been dumped by the window cleaner that does the rest of the street I often suspect. Still, you take them on because you never know for sure but canvassing turns up a lot of these sort
