Me too Steamer. I have cleaned for over 30,000 residentials in my 27 years in this biz, and I can tell you the power that fast drying of your cleaning has. I was able to move my cleaning charge up from .10 in 1997 to .50/sq by 2001 simply cause I was able to dry carpets in well under 1 hr using a TM. Nobody using HWE extraction can do that here. The Power-Dry system is coming to Toronto in a big way in 2005. I already have 5 companies that are waiting for installation in the spring there so that they can dry carpets in under 10 minutes. I told them that I would help them with the installs in April when I am down a week for a wedding in the family. 12 hour dry times will not cut it after I sell alot more of these into the GTA, and I will. |

Thanks. I have had lots of practice working the sales pitches into my conversations over the last 4 years or so. I don't even need to think about it anymore, as it is as natural to me as breathing by now.
I will keep you on my list as one to check for bites for in a years time. lol Edited by Superglide Ken |

Ted is my natural ally in the struggle, Nightrider. He sells the machines and wands and chemicals to get the carpets wet; and I get to invent the machines and accessaries to help get them dry again- fast! The better it is for him selling this stuff, the more people that need the cure.lol

doug, never said that i don't get repeats, I do all the time, just some truth to nightriders statement, just some of us won't admit it. It's the law of averages (you can't get'em all back). Now, if your telling us you get all your custys to repeat... then i will put my boots on cause it don't happen. And if your fortunate that this happens to you then my hat is off for you. Secrets, there aint none. Best, JL |

Well said John L, I just think the world is going nuts over time, are our lives that hecktic that we need our carpets dry in 10 minutes, we have red solar lamps in the washroom so we dry as we clean our ears, I opened a package of Pop-Tarts the other morning and it says put in toaster 1 minute.....or.......Microwave 3 seconds, do we need that other 57 seconds to do something else, Give me a break..........No wonder Doug needs a stress test...........or did the doctor rush you through that too Doug 'cause his cup of soup was ready.

I sure like having my carpets dry in an hour. My clients like it too.
Maybe things are different here in California than in Canada, but the
clients here are really impressed when you tell them it will be dry in
1-2 hours. They also go gaga over corner guards and the set of
shoecovers I leave for them to use. They like the teflon "bumper' on my
wand too because it doesn't mar the baseboards or furnishings or
scratch the tile/stone/wood floors.
Take care, Lisa |

Lisa.............I saw your pic, and I'm sure your customers are not looking at you wand " Bumpers ", and they're probably just happy to see you bend over to install those corner guards too, and when you pull out those shoe covers, they probably think you're going to stay the night, and if you came to clean my carpets and I had you all to myself..........I'd probably go GAGA too.

I have an excellent repeat customer ratio...............you know why...........'cause after I clean their carpets and it's still soaking wet..........The rich customers I supply FREE rubber boots for the day, and to my cheap customers I rent them a surf board............ Nightrider |

Well Nightrider, that might work if my custy's were male, but just like
all of you, my custy's are mostly female. I have been pushing wand for
17 years, and no one has ever hit on me, even once.
Take care, Lisa |

I'm sure everyones been hit on at least once.... i don't believe... I had one female customer that went so far as to put on a porno.... You do your best not to notice any advances, it's not worth taking the risk.. if you do decide to indulge...DON"T...you never know they might call the cops |
