I've read and taken massive inspiration from Chris33 and his canvassing blog so Chris..... Thank you.
I found his so helpful that I'm creating one of my own.
So here goes...
Story is as follows,
I'm employed,
Hate my job,
Want to be a window cleaner,
Want to leave job to become a window cleaner. [emoji4]
I've got my ladders, Harris pole, trad kit and also looking to get parts to make my own custom wfp setup.
I've got my trading name....diamond bright window cleaning.
2 weeks ago I thought I would knock a few doors on an estate that has, well is being built. Perhaps 10-15 houses completed so far with another 20 to be built. In a very exclusive area (translation being wealthy)
So, I made up a customer registration form to print which had;
Name,
Address,
Phone number,
Access to rear?,
Cost,
Frequency,
So I knocked on 5 of the ten houses 3 answered and of the 3 they all asked for a business card but seemed very interested!
Off home I went, straight on the laptop to design a business card and I must say I really was impressed with the outcome.
Last week I had the business cards printed from solopress £26 per 1000 (delivered)
Unfortunately with my current employment I'm wasn't able to return to the estate just yet, but was able to knock on 15 houses in a nearby street and gained 2 customers.
I'm was so excited inside when they said they require a window cleaner.
1 @ £6 (fronts only)
1@ £8
This was my first experience of canvassing and I felt fairly comfortable doing it.
With these two customers added to the 9 I gained via word of mouth from friends I wanted to do more!
So this is why I've wrote this, post 1 of many.
I've got the business cards and I've had a delivery today for my vinyl lettering for my van. Which also looks really good.
I figure if I can knock doors, leaflet drop and be seen. The business will follow. At least that's the plan!
Wish me luck [emoji16]
