You seemed to enjoy yourself with this post Nordic. If you were at Connections give us the scoop on what was happening. ------------- The Following Statements do not Necessarily Reflect the Views of this Forum Network http://www.kleenkuip.com - http://www.kleenkuip.com |

What is it about this industry or maybe it is in every industry that you can take someones idea, make a few changes and have the nerve to boost about your conquest. Meanwhile everyone is saying, they stole that idea from this guy and that guy. Hey I'm happy for all of you. ------------- The Following Statements do not Necessarily Reflect the Views of this Forum Network http://www.kleenkuip.com - http://www.kleenkuip.com |

Doug Esteam also has a Vac Booster. I am not sure if this is the same concept but this unit can give your 150 vac lift a boost to 180 vac lift, portable that is. I'm sure Terji will inform us on how it works on a TM, he also has a nice web site. ------------- The Following Statements do not Necessarily Reflect the Views of this Forum Network http://www.kleenkuip.com - http://www.kleenkuip.com |

ADWA: What confused me was one post he was talking about glides than the next one made no sence. I thought I read somewhere on a post about his vac boosters. The second post made no sence. Almost something like I would author.  ------------- Just My opinion |

Greenie and Lisa had their glide on the wand on Shawn Yorks Vortex machine.
Ken drove all the way to Vegas from Alberta and stayed in the back of his mini van at the KOA camp ground. LOL remember he sells 500 glides a month and sleeps in the mini van. ???? I thought Gloria said I stole My Idea from ED which Ed helped me make a booster for trucks mounts NOT portables and I will not make one for porty and step on EDs shoes. does this help Nordic 1

I had my Glide on that wand too, Terry, but since you were not there you would not have known that would you? lol
I drove down to Vegas in a Motorhome, not a minivan. Again, you were not there so would not be expected to know this.The fact that I am selling over 500 glides this month is not in the least connected. If i were selling over a thousand glides per month, I would do the same thing.
People that waste money in one part of their business will often do the same thing in the other parts as well. I have never thrown money around when a thrifter approach gets the job done just as well.I actually stayed in Mesquite where the rent on rooms was much better than Vegas. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Ken, You never had your glide on that wand...it was OUR titanium wand from our work truck and you were never given permission to put YOUR slotted glide on it. Our glide fits much too tightly to just pop on and off. I understand that you have a need to ride our coattails and it showed by your hanging around the Vortex demo truck, acting like it was your glide...even putting YOUR business cards on the truck and having YOUR photo taken by your salesman holding our wand with OUR glide attached. If I ever see that photo being used to promote YOUR products...we will have an even bigger problem than we have now. Stay North of the border Kenny. Take care, Lisa |

Lisa: I DID have my glide on that wand. I put it on when Rob Hanks from Bridgepoint was there taking a look at your glide. I carry a flathead screwdriver in my pocket for removing glides, and have the experience to remove even yours. I didn't see you around, so just changed it so cleaners there could compare the difference. Nobody there said I couldn't do it, so I just did. I thought the wand was a part of the Vortex unit set-up. If I had of known that it was yours I would have asked first. The wand and glide in the picture taken was your wand and glide. I have no intention of ever saying otherwise, or using that picture for promotion purposes for my business, though I will hang the picture on the wall in my home as one of my favorite shots.Most of my time will be spent south of the border, where the sales are. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I obviously was not going to say what the real vehicle I had drove down with considering that I had over 100 teflon glides on board worth thousands of dollars that were sent in for distribution to the distributors . People were so excited about glides at the show that they probably would have broke into the vehicle to get them if they had of known where to look. Can't be too cautious about these things. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Nothing to it really. I go down to the UPS office and send the glides to the closest distributor over the border that is along the route I am driving. That was SLC(Salt Lake City). I pick up the glides in the motorhome and drive them down to Vegas. I park the rig 3 blocks away from the Convention Hotel at the KOA. Distributors come out there and pick up their glides that I sold them before leaving Calgary.Distributors then sell them at the show. I had 6 distributors selling and demoing my glides at Connections this year. Piece of Cake. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

If you think someone else sold more than me, you are mistaken. 104 glides that I made were sold at that show. The competition sold 18 glides. The diference was I was selling 6 different designs from many more booths. And I did it without needing an outdoor demo too. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

No, cause HR would send out a bunch of letters to them telling them not to sell my glides like they did last time, reducing my sales yet again. They have still not sent out letters to them giving them permission to sell the glides again since they sent out the first ones back in March this year. That is why the distributors that sell my glides now are not listed or spelled out. It is the reason you never saw them on more tables at the show. I told people that I sent over to them to say that I referred them to them BEFORE they showed the glides. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

BULLCRAP!
And I recall you saying on a BB (I can NAVASEARCH if needed and if it isnt deleated on ICS) that there were two winners and they said you can make your glides. If that is the case, why would you be scared?
Which statement is the lie? DUDE, you are busted again as a PROVEN LIAR!
GOTCHA!

HERE's THE WAY I SEE THIS SITUATION:
I have the most respect for both Lisa and Nordic 1. And, the reason for this is simply that they have "EARNED it" the hard way simply by proving themselves on a regular basis. Lisa (and Greenie) got the screws put to them by someone whom told them something that wasn't true. It was all based on a hope and a promise. They have finally pulled themselves together in an effort to show honor to this Industry and to the customers who had defaulty products. Now, they have, together with Nordic 1's best efforts, put together a product (GLIDE) that "really works" and will back up that promise, I'm sure. As for my good friend, Nordic 1, he is a very neat gentleman whom also goes way beyond whats necessary (sometimes) in an effort to profect his product AND help. As far a I'm concerned, "he" is the "ONLY" person who has not stole something from us without giving us due praise in the first place. He's also what this Industry needs and needed years back. As for Ken Harris, --no disrespect here--, but throwing out all those sales numbers, my 28 years of doing this ,would only suggest otherwise. No way Ken. Those are my thoughts and opinions.
