I got a heads up today on a college canvassing that is expanding across the nation. I do not have many details at this point other than they charge you for the leads or by the appointment. Is anyone familiar with this program. From what I hear they are college students and not crackheads.

I've never heard of it.

A Painter in my locale uses a service like this. He tells me that he pays $30/hr but expects a lead an hour. If they don't produce, he calls in and asks for replacements. He says it works well. He even provides them with his own Logo'd Polos.

Hello Barry.

$30 for a lead or for an appointment? Either way it is not a bad deal!

Welcome to the site, I've seen you over at CT before.

That seems like a very affordable price if the leads are qualified leads and you actually get an appointment.

Welcome to the forum Micheal and thanks for joining.

Do you think this technique would work for commercial type projects. I think this is a little different from dealing with homeowners but some of these college kids nowadays can be very adaptive.

I think it could work, but I've never actually heard of the idea. Sounds quite nice though - and yeah, college people are usually pretty good at things like this!

I have not heard about this either. But I like the picture that someone has (side left). The Will do HTML for food. I think that when you have to resort to doing that you are just asking for bad things to happen.

How does this work exactly. Can someone please explain how canvassing works and where would you get the leads from anyway.
