It's funny how some customers might not realize they want carpet and upholstery protection until you bring it up.
Salesmanship 101, right? The art of not waiting for customers to ask but proactively suggesting what could make their carpet and furniture last longer. Customers don't jump on the Teflon and Scotchgard train because, well, no one's popped the question. How do you suggest Teflon and Scotchgard to your customers? And why wouldn't you? It's a happy customer and more $$ in your pocket. |

If your using a metering hydroforce sprayer, the one with a knob on the side to adjust, you better check it in a bucket of water, it dosn't meter correctly, go back to the one where you change out the colored orifice. Mine was way off, I had 3 of them and all of were wrong, about 1 1/2 years old.

Thats the best way to go....it's the only way you'd ever get the proper coverage.... I seen guys putting it on with cheap pump up sprayers, on just mist.... there is now way the carpet is getting the right amount of protection.... But home services are a rip off anyways |

Mr. Steamer: Inquiring minds need to know. We apply our gard with a Hydroforce sprayer. No mixing, no mess and no guessing. You can change the metering for commerical or residential, so far so good.

Once in awhile I am shocked and have nothing to say. This happened last week and believe me it doesn't happen often. I was telling a customer that Stainshield carpet protector was on sale and he said who cares I just charge the customer for the guard and spray down water, the customer doesn't know the difference anyways. I'm not naive, I have heard of this rip off but never had I heard it as boldly and nonchalantly to my face. At the time I just looked at him walking out the door and didn't really know what to say. Next time I see him I would like to say something to him that would make a difference if that is possibly with someone like that. Any suggestions!!!? |

North America's Love Affair with Telfon and Scotchguard. And it is already pre-sold for you, by the seller of the carpet on tv. Many of my customers say they don't use it because no one ever asks for it. A salesman does not wait for them to ask. You are supposed to ask them. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE. Scotchguard Scotchguard Scotchguard Scotchguard Are you getting the message yet? P.S. Edited by Carpetologist |
