Didn't you think of a marketing plan before you purchased the Recoil. You're like the guy that buys a farm and doesn't know how to grow crops Business plan, then marketing plan, then purchase equipment Nightrider |

Sorry gayrider,
problem is I have a commercial account with a property managment company that manages over 450 properties. The more contracts I get, the more I shall expand. What color dress are you wearing right now? Thankyou Splash for the info about TM's going as high as 20-30 floors. Didnt realize. |

H aha ha ha h .......Gorilla.........your original question was you wanted to know the best approach how to attain commercial accounts.......Then I post an intellegent response to your foolish & uneducated question.............following that you prove your ignorance and business stupity by trying to attack me with dumb, immature,illogical innuendo of sexual conjecture. If you have a commercial contract with 450 properties, that is enough work for 3 truckmounts perhaps even 5 truckmounts.............let alone a little Recoil-3 porty. Perhaps I take back what I said in the post that offended you...............what you need is a middle-school education and perhaps a high scool diploma if you can make it that far You are proff that any fool on welfare can get into carpet cleaning with a little cash and a pipe-dream Nightrider |

Make sense when you talk little rider. I've lived on my own since high school. I have been a full time firefighter for over four years, until making a career change. I now own two buisnesses and have full time employees. But I guess your right. I have no education and I live off welfare, because I wanted to know the best approach in attaining new commercial accounts...
By the way,how many times did you go see,"BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN" over the weekend? And what dress did you wear? |

Ignor Nightrider. He is a complete ass. Talk about lack of professionalism. He sure seems to have plenty of time to respond to just about any post there is. Most likely he is not working much. He is all talk. It is sorta like a man with a little d**k trying to compansate by acting like a stud in hopes someone will give him the respect he so NOT deserves. Why do you have to be such a prick Nightrider? GHet a life.

More than private accounts, commercial accounts are extremely
price-driven, gorilla. They usually aren't interested in hearing you
talk about what a great job you do, how your process is special, etc.
They just want to know that you can do the job more cheaply than anyone
else they can get, and they might be concerned about drying time. That
said, walking into the establishment and speaking directly with the
manager is a good start. Depending on the place, you may want to call
first. Either way, you can at least drop off your info at the front
desk. If you don't already have it, get the contact info of the guy
you're supposed to deal with. If you aren't brushed off during your
first exchange, you'll still have to check in with them weekly or
monthly. Yes, even though they want to get it done, it may take awhile
to actually get them to schedule. Eventually, they'll come around. If
you have a local Chamber of Commerce, join it. Go to the meetings
regularly. You'll be rubbing elbows with local business owners.
Honestly, I don't know much about going after them, because it's not my focus. I know about as much as wrote. I don't know about specially designed marketing materials for commercial accounts, though. I just know that these are busy people who need to be taken aside and spoken to in order for anything to stick, and you have to do it over and over. Dental offices are a great start, because many of them are carpeted, and they always need to look nice. Massage and yoga studios are the same way. |

I find it amazing when history proves true when it demonstrates that the uneducated and ignorant seem to always stand together to boost the others to a higher height of total ignorance & stupity. Spash N Dash , CTGCR, & Gorilla......what a trio of knowledge..........it takes 3 of you to try to outsmart the " GREAT NIGHTRIDER " If BRAINS was leather the 3 of you combined wouldn't have enough to make a Jacket for a flea Nightrider Edited by nightrider |
