Hi guys i haven't been on in a while but how is everyones thoughts on the carpet cleaning business. Do you think it is slowing down. I heading into the third year but still kind of slow but the customers are still very happy with the results, and I use a portable and hope to invest in a truckmount but not until the business picks up.

Toolman...............where do you live and operate your business from.....if it's been raining there for 2 weeks straight, that would affect business for sure............many other factors will as well.....such as your city or town experienced massive lay-offs from a major company, you might have competition from the largest carpet cleaning phenomenon in history ( Do It Yourselfers ). Sometimes we think the demand is slowing down, when it is really us that is loosing interest and slowing down

Generally things very good. The odd week quiet for no reason, start worrying then goes bonkers again.

Our company hasn't slowed down a single bit. We are booked solid until almost the middle of October! In fact, we haven't experienced a slow season at all this year! True... the Lord has very much blessed us in these tough times but if you want to know our secret I will tell you if anyone is interested? However.... if I do tell you guys how we are doing things I don't want to hear cheap shots from the bleachers or blabbering advice on how we have it all wrong because you've been in the business since before Christ and only you know what is best. Anyway.... you get my point..... I don't give out sales pitches either.... in fact it's just the opposite. So no need to worry aboout me trying to sell you on some hair brained MLM deal, or Get Rich Quick in this business idea... no books, tapes, CD or video.... nothing! Just a simple plan that has worked EXCELLENT for us and seems to be working just a well for everyone else who has tried it. In fact, I got a call yesterday from a guy in Vegas who's business was going under and he called to tell me that after doing what we suggested and taking a few different steps.... he is now having to ad another truck just to keep up with the work! So I'm happy to share with anyone if they are interested?? What do you have to lose right?

Jack may be a year older, but he is getting BETTER. He is figuring out the value of getting more work done thru other people labour.

JohnL.....I am retired, I just like to work.....If that makes any sence. Naturally , the money has alot to do with it too. I relax in the winter.....I'm looking to buy a used Motor Home to amuse myself with in the winter.
Maybe I'll go see Kenny.....................

Great idea Jack. I too am thinking of taking it easier this winter. Touring the Southern USA in a motorhome in the colder months of January and February is not a bad idea. Just have to hire some reliable people that can get things done while I am away. |
