lol i love this.

every area you'll go in will have one window cleaner at least. dont worry about it just canvas anyway, if its a  dung window cleaner your doing the street a favour, if its a good window cleaner, then you dont want to undercut, but doesnt mean he does the entire street.

i've canvased area's that the local window cleaner was working in, i simply ask him what houses he does and he can either tell you and you avoid or he can be an bottom then you undercut him, its up to you, along you dont undercut you self/or go out your way to undercut him. the best stratgy is to befriend

look don't stop your self from canvasing. its the part of the job thats the most important. you can fluff arround this but if you do it will cost you more in the long run. if you get it out the way then you'll only have to do it now and then

alittle tip in canvasing, your going to get NO's when you knock so i make a game out of it and try for 10 NO's each hour, tell you want 8 is the most i've hit in an hour, its fun 

yer sure, why not. only the person in the house can deside if they want you and your the one that has to show the reason why they'd want you.

the more you knock the doors the better you get, write down reason why the customer would want you. even write down who your customer is, age's  occupation types. old young newly married. the reason for this is if you come across these people then you know its your target and therefore react better to the situation, ie if they are old you can say your reliable and trust worthy and dont mind doing little things to help. talk to them like they are your own gran or grandad, it helps say your there to take over the job that needs doing that saves them from doing (dont say that they cant do they dont want to feel helpless).

its all about the wording and how you say it in the long run the more you say your script the more it with adapt its self to situations

ok another tip let say you see a house that you know your never going to get well listen the this its called a burn, you knock the door and you give it everything you got and if they say still well their loss and you learnt alot, it give you a kind of rush also lol 

i always canvassed from the back of the estate first working my way to the front. most window cleaners start at the front and when they get the no thank yous they assume it is a waste of time and give up. as a result the back of the estate rarely gets canvassed and that is where you are most likely to get the yes pleases.
