I joined this forum to get info and learn about the business. So far, all I've seen are a lot of egos knocking around. Is there anyone who takes all of this seriously? I've spent enough money on my business and would like to hear about business things without all of the bull in between. My question is: Is advertising in the yellow pages worth the expense?

Welcome aboard seelah! Yes, a lot of nonsense is sometimes posted but listen and read in-between and you will be educated on this site. Yellow pages seem to work better in some areas than others. Large cities seem to have so many telemarketers that you only have to go home and a carpet cleaner will call you. But the biggest problem that I see from my position is when the expensive yellow pages kicks in for you many carpet cleaners have very little idea how to impress or sell on the phone. Eventually losing the sale especially if you have an answering machine. Potential customers will keep calling in yellow pages until they get a real live person. I also hear that a lot of price shopping goes on with yellow pages. If you don't have a good sales pitch the lowest price gets the work. |

Were on Seelah's post Steamer did you see that this person is a women. My question is Seelah, if you have spent a lot of money on your business does this include any advertising. What have you done so far and what method of equipment do you use for carpet cleaning. Welcome aboard |

let me answer the question while I'm here.... YES but you have to have the right placement... I've said this in another post.... color and page placement have a lot to do with making your money out of the yellow pages.... I hope you can read between the lines....cuz I ain't going to spell it out for you |

I am confused who has an ego problem on this board? It must be a mistake or misunderstanding?

Hey Steamer, you love that quote button don't ya? Yes, my business included advertising. I was just curious about the yellow pages. Thanks to Carpetologist for answering. I'm using newspaper ads but most of my jobs have come from referrals.

Steamer What happens if seelah comes to clean your rugs and this person is a woman? Better get your uniform and cologne ready. The shoe is on the other foot. Remember what happened when Jannette LaRue met nightrider...they buried him. |
