Not had time to scratch my **** never mind canvass, keep getting asked for one off jobs on top of chasing my tail, should have caught up by friday though, im waiting for my boss to reduce my hours at work so i can start organising my round and concentrate on getting more custies. picked up one today though so it all counts.

 
Been ill mate, had man flue thought surfing would shift it Sunday morning and spent Monday in bed /emoticons/sad.png

Did pick up two customers from flyers that I got out when it was raining one day last week so still trickles in.

I'm out doing first cleans again tomorrow and Thursday and Friday and Saturday /emoticons/smile.png the weather is really helping.

 
First time ive cleaned in really nice weather and it makes such a difference. Today, thurs n fri to catch up then moving house at weekend not many customers next week so should finally get chance to canvass and grab a few more

 
got back out this afternoon canvassing and picked up £90.00 /emoticons/smile.png also had three new customers when I was out working so a total of £127.00 I should hit my target by the end of the month.

 
Fairplay Luc you have done very well. So much for no work in Cornwall then. Beautiful that part of the country.

 
Thanks Guybrush the strange thing is theres loads of windys like everywhere else in the country but I'm still finding loads of work, and most of my canvassing has been done during the day time.

The work is really varied as well like yesterday, all that work was all in one estate then late last night I get a phone call from a quote I put in three weeks ago £90 for a B&B they have excepted so I've booked that in so at the end of one days canvassing I was able to book in £180 of work into a week where I had nothing.

 
Thx Adam I don't feel stressed about it like I used to in my other job I think I will hit the target but I will spend another month dropping and sorting out customers so the round is really good. Im trying to get all customers to pay online if there not in when I call but some of the old timers will never do that so I've told them to send cheques, so far so good I'm owed about £100 from £800 of work but feel this could've better.

 
I agree Adam I think that's were I went wrong last time ended up with 60% good customers and the rest taking the mickey.

As soon as you drop the hours down in your job mate you can really start pushing I bet you can't wait.

 
yes mate, should be next week, just about caught up now, should be on top of my current work by tuesday then i have almost 2 weeks with no work so should kick on these next few weeks.

 
I've done it guys and girls reached my £2000 target today after canvassing the last two days I'm so happy and thanks for everyone's support its been great /emoticons/smile.png

I've got £1000 of first cleans to look forward to I'm going to get them out the way then start canvassing again.

I have only about four commercial jobs the rest are domestic and the average customer price is £13, I feel that's not to bad.

Once again thanks for the support.

 
Well done mate, inspirational stuff.

So whats the plan going forward? how much work do you reckon you will be able to manage on your own?

 
Not going to push it Adam by the end of may I want to be at £2500 and end of June £3500, will be happy with that.
