lol, i understand but its an insane amount of legwork/money would be cheaper paying a canvasser5000 is nowhere near enough. you need to be doling them out like youre a machine. burn thru shoe leather bigtime ,your feet need to hum like old roquefort everytime you take off your shoes
Absolutely, you gotta do the footwork.How committed are you to this venture? Will your family go hungry if you don't get out there and work? What did your Mrs say when you told her that you bottled it? Kick yourself up the backside and get out there tomorrow and canvass twice as hard! Sorry if I'm sounding harsh, but if you really want to do this for a living YOU and only you have to make it work.
Get out there!

Hi. First of all im very serious about this business its all I think about I dont have another option.Let's take it one step a time, If you can't even bring yourself to put a leaflet in the letterbox how are you gonna handle knocking after the job and asking for money?
I don't want to kick a man that's down but seems like you may be looking at the wrong type of work. Window cleaning is a people business. You go out to do say 15 jobs a day and at least 4 people are going to engage you in conversation.
A couple of questions I 'd like to ask, and you can tell me to mind my own effing business but it will help me to understand your predicament and help perhaps point you in the right direction.
Are you working traditionally or with WFP? Have you worked as a window cleaner previously or is this your first foray into it?
What are you hoping for? A few customers to help pay the bills and get by or are you willing to work it as a full time job and earn some decent money?
Personally I would never consider a canvasser or 'marketing' person to get customers. It is against my religious belief (my belief being I never pay someone to do a job I can do myself) /emoticons/tongue.png
If you are serious I have a printer that will run you 10'000 flyers for about £150, you cover lunch and fuel from Nottingham and I will come up for a day and show you how we built a round of 600 customers in 14 months, that's after we cancelled almost 130 time wasters.
I don't want to sound egotistical but this is the third time I have used this system to build rounds and it works.
It is not something I share easily but you sound rather desperate (no offence) so this time I make the exception, but be aware it will become a full time occupation.
Good luck mate.
I loath door to door. Absolutly eats me up inside.Im in wakefield mate, i will pm you, very kind offer, thanks
Posted about 5000 last year for various services and the response rate is very poor, tbh i find leafletting almost as daunting as knocking and tbh if i can make it to a door to post a leaflet may as well knock.
Thanks for the replys, unfortunately i only have an hour or two spare most days for canvassing as i work not far off full time hours and when not doing this i have a few windows to do and have my kids over and stuff. also logistically im living with my girlfriend in a flat so no access to water so im back and forth to my parents (20 min drive) to fill up. So a lot of ******* about.
Its not a cant be arsed thing as im very keen i seem to have developed an anxiety about it lol.
Whatever happens with canvassing i will succeed one way or another it just might take me longer i suppose
Thanks to those that offered help, very kind of you.
One idea i had was to try to pay someone to help me a few hours a week, maybe do a local ad. hopefully that would make it easier especially if i can find someone more confident.
