only went for 3 hour as had afternoon work. i went to a nice upperclass area which id leafleted last week, a few streets didnt have a w.c i thought my look was in untill i met most the residents . alot of already got 1 came out even tho some windows were filthy and obviously were lying, they live in nice big posh houses but dont want pay to keep them clean, i had a few oh il call you, had 3 maybes , in the end i got 1 house smallest on estate £9 once a month

 
true good way too look at it, i was a bit disheartened earlier lol but was only out 3 hours and the area i went for mus be up there at the top in town to canvas , i think im going to target new build mainly as if theyv just been build shudnt have a cleaner and they should wanna keep there house nice an clean as it new.. key word being 'should' haha

 
yer im gettin that around here a bit too, got a lot of polish and romanian doing them for dirt cheap, one house asked me to quote and gave him a price of £17. he said oh the other guy is doing it for £12! bearing in mind that there was 18 windows, 3 double patio doors, front door and back door!

 
ye id of priced that around £20 mark , just had a call to price up a 4bed complete facia gutter and window frames deep clean which they found me through google ads which is a bonus as its the free ads voucher im using with them, if i get any more before voucher runs out i will buy more!

 
just keep plugging away, some roads i only had one house and kept cleaning it then people watch and see you do a good job and decide to use you, one in the hand worth two in the nest.canvass it again in a month or so time and you might pick up one two more sounds crazy but the first time you knock your just a stranger trying his luck but if they see you a few times they think hey its that window cleaning guy that does pats windows and there always so clean, i want some of that and hire you.

 
thats the thing people dont want to try someone else coz they have been let down in the past by others, i get asked 'you will come next month wont you'

 
1 customer is good /emoticons/wink.png some poeple get 0... some people get 10... but u will get a day shortly that you will pick up atleast 5 customers... just stick at it mate /emoticons/smile.png

 
didnt have to do any leg work for it either, they phone me and emailed me details, i looked at it on google maps and priced it from there! got the job, so thats all good!
