Allen: As I have stated all small companies do is pay the big comapnies Pay Pay. You continue to pay and be part of the problem or stop and become part of the solution. This type of skimming off the top should be illegal because I think it is a crime. the harder you work the richer they get.

no... allen I comming from the point of think big..... never go cheap.... service service service... we all complain... (doug) about Sears killing the market...but let me tell you they make MONEY.... even I make money off their jobs... why because they spend money too.... the little guy like doug... cries everytime he has to do a little advertising.. for the first 5 years advertising should be 60% of your total operating cost... then you relax with all the customers that you have given good service to... you can scale back the advertising because your name is built.. you can go for referals.. etc etc etc but you have to drop the bucks.... think small...you'll stay small... you'll get small calls... your bank account will get smaller and smaller |

Mr. Steamer: Who the hell are you trying to kid? Big companies don't go cheap. They have you as a sub don't they. If they had to pay even half of what the work was actually worth they would do it them selves. But as long as they got the likes of you who they can pay nothig why do it yourself? You can make more off the all the wanabes. Lets face it you are there becaues they sell you as a package of what I don't know. But you are there because you can't sell yourself. Unlike all the so called small owner operators do on a daily bases.

I don't get it... on one hand you say that you'll leave stains & a
room takes you 15 minutes.... on the other hand you say that you've
gotta never go cheap....
Wich is it? From the sounds of it... and correct me if I'm wrong here... you are advocating giving a cheap service at a cheap price while using expensive advertising. Yes? |

I guess words can't explain..... there are no stains that soap and water can't take out..... paint....no so thats an extra charge... gum no thats a extra charge... ink may be... but maybe no...so thats an extra charge.... dirt..np... most food stains np..... grease np... these are 90 of all stains found in carpet... so don't waste your time trying to get out 5 year old paint spill...get my drift.... interpetation is a hard thing isn't it... doug... if you where doing the advertising... had an office with staff.. it would probally run you the money I don't get as a sub...sit down and figure it out..

Mr.Steamer: I brought this post back just to inform readers that the Woolsafe seminar was of some interest. But as usual you try to discredit anyone who attempts to better themselves through education. I have nothing else to say on this subject here.
