    Been canvassing myself and a friend for the past seven nights 5 till 730 got 38 new customers cleaned half last Monday cleaning the rest tommorow been an eye opener to be honest back out tomorrow 👍🏽

    I’ve had a few shy helpers and I always asked them to canvass while I work on the first few houses. It’s amazing how their confidence grows after getting a few new jobs.

    Great advice as usual. When we started the misses used to work with me. Some of our best streets came from her knocking the doors while I cleaned. It always helped having a lady especially with nervous women. We would clean the new customers straight away so if the husband got home and said he would do them we had at least earned something from it. 👍

    Thanks for the video mate. I've just moved to Wales from Scarborough, England. Still travelling back to do my work once a month so if started canvassing here. Picked up £150 regular work in 11 hours so it's paying off. Thanks for motivation as I'm going out again in this crap weather.

    Everytime I get a new job on a new road. I get one of the lads to post leaflets to neighbours and around 10 houses on the new road. While I'm cleaning the new house. Only takes 5 mins

    Great vid and info as always. Thanks for the motivation to get out door knocking, now this lockdown is opening ,I feel confident enough to go door knocking, starting in a while. This will be another eye opener along this great learning curve. Been going 10 weeks in total so far. Up to 36 regular customers atm. LETS GO GET SOME MORE!

    i have some forms i print for canvassing with all details in need but its on a4 or u find it better with just a notebook

    Can I ask you this..
    How did you ever manage when sick? Say you ain’t been able to be on the job first hand yourself, an your have a lad that’s worked for a long long time an knows your routine inside out.
    Basically trying to keep it short he started canvassing an keeping house’s for himself until I found out an was sacked.
    How do u manage such a big team without the wrong ones always trying too make a few qwid rip u off, or even try and take your houses u already have?

  • @renttorentwithbenandcraig7474

    Great video, do you find it's better to go in the evening say between 6-8 so people are home from work?

    • @matthewwright7831
      @matthewwright7831 Před 2 lety +1

      I used to do 6-8 and then day as I worked the area...some people want to observe your work and see you're going to stick around before employing your services

    Do you still ‘knock the doors’ Darren?

  • @glens1800
    @glens1800 Před 3 lety +2

    I’ve had some leaflets printed up and am ready to start canvassing but I’m not confident about knocking on doors at all. I am just going to post them but will this limit my goals

      Its a very short answer and sorry to say it's yes.

    @benaxon9721 Před měsícem

    But if most houses already have a window cleaner how do you compete (other than lowering price). Let’s be honest most houses are already covered by another window cleaners patch. Any advice?

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před měsícem

      Look through my videos and find the one about 'Yes Please' Cards - Still effective today - also never compete on price - only quality of service.

  • @rwc4609
    @rwc4609 Před 5 lety +2

    If you do, better keep off my patch mate.

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před 5 lety +1

      Lol! Your patch? You're lucky we leave you those scraps!! 😉😁
