Saw these on Dragons Den tonight,the Dragons were creaming themselves over this and one paid out after 4 of them made an offer.
Only saw the last bit so not sure about their pitch.
Now to be fair if they weren't in the den then you would think that this would be a wind up.
Chances are their stats will point to us and they will come on the site,please keep it clean.
Their site is very slow as I write,due to no doubt just being on the tele.

Our leaflet distributors get paid to keep fit. They move faster than walking distributors(They jog!), so can be twice as productive. We can afford to pay a higher hourly wage quite simply because they distribute more leaflets per hour.

It’s quite incredible how something as simple as combining jogging and posting could have such a big effect on the results we are able to achieve for our clients.

It takes 7 – 10 hours for someone walking to distribute 1000 leaflets

7-10 hours for a 1000 leaflets?
is that on a rural?

I'll watch it on Iplayer tomorrow

How are you supposed to carry all your D2Ds and jog at the same time, plus you have to stop at every door so it's not really jogging.......I'm sure someone will be able to give a view on it.

Probably just an excuse to put 10 hours work into 5 hours pay tbh.

Is that without stopping because if they expect someone to jog for 8 hours a day without any breaks then they are really looking for trouble

Geoplan

We use one of the most comprehensive softwares available in our industry. The Geoplan software gives us a complete demographic breakdown of each area. We can see how many flats, blocks, houses, detached, semi-detached, terraced, owned outright, with a mortgage, housing trust, council owned etc… there are on each individual street. We use this software to strategically plan all our campaigns. We invite all our customers to come to the office and take the driving seat when preparing their campaigns. The software also allows us to prepare full reports after each distribution giving our clients a complete list of the streets that were covered.

well the computer says its possible

Watched dragons den meself,,,at the moment there based in/around london but with help wanna expand to major cities,,,like its been said how can u jog for that long,,,,how can u keep up at rhythm jogging then stopping to post the leaflet,,,,or trying to open gates,,,seems a bit hard to me that likes to walk lol.

also asked about dumping leaflets...they have/paid inspector type ppl who will watch you while u work.

[randompostman]

It all depends on the housing / streets but having delivered over 750 UAF leaflets here in less than five hours in 1 ward in the run up to the last farcical council elections i find it is more than possible, i do not jog and carry them in a back pack and as a postie look where i put my feet. (pooh and pavement cracks etc.) My own area that i work in is made up with wealthy housing long paths and such but a hundred an hour is achievable although you would know you had done a day’s work. The thing about leaflets is you don’t need to check them or knock on doors you just slot them and move on.

Anybody know what they pay?

[fishtank]

Good luck to them.
Somebody will jog into a garden with a dog and get eaten alive.
Somebody will jog out in front of a bus and get flattened.
The amount of injuries from people who don't know how to warm up,warm down or even jog properly,trips and slips will be horrendous.
How does jogging work in snow and ice?
What happens if you run into someone?...they will sue you into the ground when they find out you jog for a living.
They will spend most of the time in court.
Why don't they expand it...make office workers ,teachers,policemen,council workers jog around...it must be more productive and it keeps you fit.

How long per day can you jog?...3 maybe 4 hours if you're very fit...then what...you go home and collapse in a puddle of sweat and vomit and even if they pay £15/hour...you've made about £45 quid after tax.

We have a daily scoring system and you will be graded for punctuality, speed, attitude, accuracy, communication and team spirit.

There's a skip...Job done.
Do i get a gold star?
