Mr. Steamer:  Your just a big ole 6'2" 230 pound teddy bear. I hear your uniforms are pink?  But I guess that could be just a rumor.Guitar

Stanley,

I am new to this forum so do not know much about everything that you have posted.  Although, in this topic you mention making money and making money.  I am extremely new to the industry.  I have only had 4 jobs.  Can you give me some advice as to how to go about to get some customers?  I am anxious to going out and cleaning more carpet!  How do you get customers? 

I really do hate giving away free advise....but the best thing to do it get out and meet the people...knock on doors...shake hands...kiss babies...Just drop in to let them know that your the friendly cleaner in the area...leave a card...leave a magnet...take out a spot

works for me...but i'm lovable

Around here, there's only a couple of guys I know with employees. Both on hourly rates.

Multiple van operations are usually either a franchise, or worked by subcontractors who own thier own van, gear, chem, and split profits with the head office. $25 bucks per room, with a 3 room minimum.  They don't move anything, they don't vacuum, they don't rake the carpet... heck, I don't even think they clean the carpet at that price!

One company approached me and offered me 30% of every job.
Another offered me 50%

You could tell by the eyepatches and bottle 'o rum what they really were.

Running them out of the seven seas,

Allen

Stanley money isn't every thing, well just about not every thing.

I am happy, I get up every morning for the last 15 years, look forward to getting into work every day just to talk with you guys. I blink my eyes and its time to go home.

I think the percentage of people feeling how I do each day is low. I consider myself lucky.

God it sounds like I fishing for a raise   Anybody listening
