Supplier helping his customers or contractor helping contractor is the only way to run a profitable business. Most people forget all the good things we do. However it only takes one thing you say or do that causes them to tell everyone the one bad thing which causes so many short stories that become novels by the time it gets back to you!! If you start out as a team you must end as a team if you ever want to have a great relationship you must treat each other as family. Weather it is greed or just thinking you could out smart the other always ends in this disaster. This is my opinion after reading these post. |

I can't wait to tell my competition story. KK at one time was Dri-Eaz largest Ontario distributor. We always sold at what was fair pricing to stay in business. Along came other distributors who choose to sell Dri-Eaz equipment at 10 & 15% over cost. Next time you invoice your customer try a mark-up of 15% to see how long you can survive. Now you know why KK no longer sells new Dri-Eaz equipment. Although we still rent and deal in used, repo and reconditioned flood equipment (available to view on this site). Now is the time to purchase new flood equipment. It is a buyers market and my competition needs the business and you can see why. |

doug or We Dry or anybody I read with confusion all these letters and symbols. AMRT, ASD, CR, IICRC Supervisor, CAT etc, etc. Could someone explain what they all mean? And I will promise to not put them behind my name. Enquiring minds want to know.
I did not know how to answer who is nightrider. But you nailed it dead on with very few words. |

Sammy I like your posts, they are short and sweet and to the point. And like me too tired to argue at night. |

Its my opinion that you can not show a profit through a school. I am sure drieaz built their flood house with profits from equipment and not the school. Sounds expensive to go but you have no idea of the ongoing and hidden costs. Without profits from an off-shoot (sideline) that hopefully a school creates there would be no schools . This is not public money they are using.

Has everyone experienced the Prime Time TV ad that promotes and shows Serve Pro Techs restoring fire and floods. Wow, do you have any idea what this TV ad must cost to advertise to 100% of the people when only maybe ¼ of 1% will even need this service (if that). If these guys are coming to Canada that should make restorers nervous. If you have never looked at a large U.S. city yellow pages give one a browse sometime. Page after page of full-page ads for fire and floods. The biggest I have seen in the largest area of Canada is maybe a ¼ page ad. Once in awhile a full page for one year only, then out of circulation. These U.S. guys market with a steam roller. As I said before maybe it’s time for the smaller flood people to start an Ontario Association and band together to compete with the Giants. |

Wow what happened to the flood restoration guys. They blew in like a tornado, left their damage and seems like they have dried up and gone.

These flood discussions are making my entrepreneurial mind work overtime. Talking Out Loud The contractor who chooses to purchase supplies from KK would get this service free. And those who choose to purchase elsewhere could pay a monthly fee. But, only allow those in who meet proper standards. Standards designed by the participating group. This would assure your potential customers to be treated fairly, receive quality and this would be an inexpensive way for you to generate NEW business. I wish I woulda thought of that. Albert Einstein
KK is always looking at creative ways of helping our customers become successfull. We are open to discussing ways of helping anyone in this line of business. Edited by Carpetologist |
