[kellogs64]

a good kicking prob lol, advice someone to chat too bounce ideas. im going estate agents could do with pricing info call out all hours, hourly rates periodic pricing info ect

nobody is going to be able to help you with pricing.only you know what you need to earn.
but by all means, if you wanna talk and tell us you're ideas, whatever they may be, I'm sure most of us will be willing to listen and tell you what we think and help in any way we can.

Do you have any contacts who are letting agents? As you will probably find they already have there own teams for such things. Besides all they would want on a call out is make safe, before pricing repair later.

can you give up every hour every day, in the hope your phone may ring once a month?

 

[kellogs64]

no not yet, gota start somewhere mate.already done 20 thousand flyers, got another 10thousand in ready to be delivered. should try builders but i been ripped off once already.

 

[kellogs64]

[Plonker 3]

How the hell do you plan to deliver 30000 flyers?

 

[kellogs64]

[Plonker 3]

How are you going to deliver them?

what other advertising do have in place or plan on doing?

work won't come overnight, you need to be patient, things will probably get worse before they get better.
