Well this year is quickly coming to a close, how did you do this year?
Did you grow? Did you add a long list of new customers? Did you retain all or at least most of your repeat customers? What did you do different this year? What will you do different next year?

Slow? No, I don't think so, especially not with a Spraybot fitted and a 22" pad... fastest machine and lightest to use that I've tried, better than my Challenger unitOuch

I survived but barely.  I lost the yellow page listing thanks to the incompetence of Comcast and their business service.  That really hurt.  Next year the focus is on quick and dirty cleaning at super low prices and no more doing slow pay business accounts.

Specials is the name of the game for 2009

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

FreshAir, Slow refers to the speed of cleaning, high speed oscillators are not based on size of machine or having a spray system or not.

CCS has high speed oscillators, those that use them, especially those who have owned competitor machines, KNOW the difference and it is NOT a small difference by any means.

Most OP machines look like some kids grade 9 welding project or a modified push behind lawn mower. Try walking throught the door of the Royal York with that junk, even the door man wouldnt let you in. LOL.
 
We can't clean highend with something that looks like it was built in 1955.
Might be OK for hillbilly bob in the deep south of the great US of A but aint going to Fly in the 416-905 partner!

Yep go in and do a half assed job with something that cost a lot of money, you are quite the businessman there Ken-is-OK.
 

This is Ernie Bereche from New York. I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love that Commercial Breeze!

10 times better than my Challenger. I should have just bought that machine from the beginning and I would have two of them by now. Everything came to me fine and I started using it right away and have used it ever since.

Eventually I want to trade out my TM and you'll be hearing from me again to buy another machine.

Thanks Patty for all your help with the machine and chemicals.

That manual from front to back cover was one of the best manuals I ever owned! I have lots of other cleaning manuals from other companies but this one was very well put together and very helpful.

I imagine you are away for the holiday weekend and I hope you having fun. I'll call you back next week and order some more chemicals from you.

Thanks again for all your help and once again I love that machine, my son does too! He cleans with me.

Have a great hollday weekend.

Bye

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.


Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?.

This reminds me of the wars in my neighborhood when growing up between the Ford and Chevy families.  Get me a hotdog and Coke when the snack guy walks by.  I want to watch this game.  Looks like it might go into extra innings.

Seriously, everyone has their preferences.  I like blondes with great legs and a nice rack.  How about you Padman and FreshAire?  Got any preferences besides which VLM unit you believe in? Popcorn
