Soooo, I decided to become a window cleaner, did my research, printed out some flyers and dived right in. Today was my first day of canvassing and after working up the courage to knock on strangers doors i found the vast majority very pleasant and in need of a window cleaner. After being out for only half an hour I had 8 cleans arranged for Friday and another 5 who were going to 'get back to me' (they sounded posistive...)
As i was getting told by one gentleman that there hadn't been a window cleaner in the area for a year or two another window cleaner turned up and starting threatening to 'run me out of business' evidently he had seen my flyers and was not happy. I told him i was going nowhere and he should rethink his ideas, he backed down pretty sharply and made a few ***ue threats and that was that.
Decided to call it a day then and made my way home.
All in all a successful first day for an hours canvassing.
WHY HAVENT I FOUND THIS SOONER LOL
Could anyone offer any tips on how i can avoid getting into future confrontations with other cleaners? i have previous run ins with police so it wouldnt look good if things degenerated into fisticuffs lol
