We never over face our Staff and for canvassing purposes restrict them to five hundred households per batch. Once they have completed one batch to our satisfaction they are given a further batch. when we work on a pure delivery contract Staff are paid on an hourly basis (at least 10% above current and future proposed minimum wage requirements - £6.50 an hour increasing to £6.70 in Autumn) with a bonus attached calculated on the area covered and production per hour within that area
Our Staff are sourced from many places including Universities, Job Centres, Recruitment Agencies as well as from various National Associations and internet advertising. All our Staff are CRB checked prior to employment and they are not allowed to have anyone assisting them unless we have full details of the person(s) beforehand
Additionally Staff are informed that immediate dismissal will result from anti social behaviours such as being rude or offensive, swearing, working with other people or pets and using external audio equipment
That is entirely at your discretion - we can pass the data and completed forms to you every other day, weekly or at the end of the campaign period.
Subject to the provision of numbers and dates we can usually confirm costs within five hours.
We are very much aware that the areas controlled by most local authorities are comprised of both urban and rural areas and our standard pricing structure takes this into account.
Difficulties sometimes arise in areas that are predominantly rural; the reason being the difficulty and time spent in accessing farms and properties with long driveways. Additionally for purely rural areas Data Tracking need to employ staff that drive and own their own vehicles which of course reduces our staffing choice and in turn increases the cost of employment and carrying out the canvass. In such instances a sur charge maybe necessary.
By telephoning non respondents at different times of the day and at weekend to ensure we speak to someone within a short space of time. Post canvass telephone campaigning can also be supplemented by door to door canvassing where this is warranted and requested by the Local Authority.
We are quite happy to undertake ‘part’ canvass even if they are solely in rural areas as our quotation will reflect this.
We handle any Local Authority work that is similar to canvassing and ITR delivery such as the distribution of Council magazines and newsletters, identifying household sectors and identifying and reporting on selected distributions throughout the UK
Ye of course - we have started (May 2015) to track official tenders through various websites but if you know of any tenders that may interest us please send us the link and we will be happy to consider the work
Our quotation will be an all inclusive one and you will not be charged any extras.
We use highly sensitive mapping software which allows us to distinguish isolated and remote areas and price accordingly. The software reflects the number of properties in any given area and allows us to calculate the ‘man’ hours taken to fulfill the job.
Wherever possible we try and utilise Staff drawn from the Local Authority as they know the district well and it builds up a good rapport with the Electorate as well as being good for the image of the Authority. Post canvass campaigns are handled by tele operatives throughout the Country but we always use local people where there is a strong Regional dialect or accent.
All our Staff are supplied with PPE and must wear face masks when canvassing and sanitise their hands and materials regularly. Covid testing is easily available to all Staff and a positive result will mean self isolation for the Staff member concerned. We immediately adopt and maintain Government guidelines with regards to Covid-19.
