Part-Timer Looking to go Bigtime!

Gmoney: Like I said, I could tell by your post that you were far from a Newbie to this industry. I was not refering to you being a Newbie to this board when I said it. Thanks for clearing up a little of your background. I don't hide any of mine, but I will give you the benefit of any doubt why you don't use your real name. Perhaps to do so would prevent you from being as candid with your comments here. I would not want that to happen. I figgered you were from the GTA when I said I think I know who you are, so I am not surprised to hear you say that.

 

As far as hearing from people on this board about my glides, you may be a little disappointed in the lack of response. It is still a very new product that has mostly been sold in the USA marketplace so far. I think that maybe all of 40 have been sold into Canada so far. A few on the board have them, but only  2 that I know for sure. Steamin Pile has our latest and has posted that it glides and cleans well. I am sending out a glide to Doug and Steamer so that others here can comment as well. I certainly don't want them to remain a secret to Canadians. I actually did test an SS glide against a Drimaster machine  at Kleenkuip last October while I was in town. There was about 10 cleaners present at the time. While not scientific by any means, most of those that were present agree that the glide left the carpet drier than the RDM. No moisture meter used, just feel on the fingers. I supose I will need to do it with instruments to convince you of that though.

 

I don't deny for a minute that my posts are written as infomercials BTW. It is a style that allows me to both inform and obtain sales for my products at the same time. Many people tell me that they like it. A few do not. The ability to scroll is a wonderful thing for those that do not.

 

We both share the interest in science and physics it seams. That was always my top subject. I have a pressure chart, but even without it I know that to double flow you must square(4X) the pressure. The flow at 200 psi will not double till 800 psi is used. I was just simplefing to make a point understandable to others reading this was all. You have not disproved  my pounds/sq inch theory at all. If you read what I said again, I covered both the surface area covered by the cleaning devices contact points with the carpet and the weight of the wand or RDM on those points. Each produces a distinctive number roughly in line with the rounded number I used to illustrate my point.

 

I enjoy your input here Gmoney, and can see that we agree on far more than we disagree on after our conversation  here. It is good to have a fellow technical person to talk to. On many of the boards I post on, many of my technical posts go over many readers heads, so it is good that I don't have to worry about that with you. I am still much of a novice in marketing  and look forward to learning a few things here as well. Not rich yet for sure, but I believe that better marketing in future will take care of that. All equipment mentioned on this board does exist and does produce the results I post about. Sometimes they do not do it consistanly enough for me to bring them to market yet in a big way. Being the perfectionist that I am, anything big that has the potential to revolutionize the WD industry like the Power-Dri system does, must be just right before I realease it. I have kept it to myself for 7 years now ,till I spent that time to get it right. When released, it will be in the industry mags and I will be there too. Being the super persistant person that I am, I will keep at it till it happens.But, I do not knowwhat time that will be.

 

In life, timing is everything.

Thanks again for your response, Gmoney. BTW, I did send Ted one of my latest SSU802 glides already 3 weeks ago, before I even started posting  in earnest here. I figured if I was going to talk about them, I better have one on hand that people can look at and try. Ted has been letting people take it out and test it out for themselves.Hasn't caused much of a stir yet, but maybe most here are not aware yet that they can do that.

 

A high performance portable on short hose and low pressure can dry carpet faster than most TMs. When we tested the RDM  and SS Superglide at Kleen Kuip last October, it was with a Ninja. Dry time was under 30 minutes. I even layed on the carpet being cleaned after that to show that at least on the low pile commercial carpet we used, it was dry to the back to and no moisture could be seen oor felt doing that.

 

I never looked at my chart to calculate flow when I said that BTW. Just a fast off the top of my head estimation. I should be more careful next time.That undermines what I say if I don't be more accurate. You are right about that.

 

The Power-Dri System, when released, has the power to change the way the WD business is done. It will only work with PTO TMs at this point. It would also require alot of capital to distribute in the very large US market. This is beyond my resources right now, and would mean that I would need to drop everything else I am working on to do it, which I wont do. The introduction of our new glides to transform how carpet cleaning is done is my main priority now, and is taking up most of my time. But I could afford to launch the Power-Dri into Canada next year if the interest is there. That is much more doable in both money terms and my time commitement required to do it. Since I designed it around the Cleanco TM, and most are here, that seems an easier way to go. Once established here, the money and infrastructure would be in place to start the US introduction after that.

Looking forward to your comments as the process unfolds in the months to come, and as the testimonials come in.

Good ideas you put forth there, Gmoney. I will get working on that. Thanks for the excellant advice!

Diva: I already have them finished. Just waiting for the right-time for introduction. As you pointed out, I have many other products already coming out betwen now and November, without needing to add more to it. If they are needed in the marketplace, I will introduce them at the right time.In life, timing is everything.

Since gmoney and Diva are too busy to participate in the Forum these days I will speak for them.
