If you wanna shot

Its not the point Mr. Steamer.

These people on the boards may want to learn some tricks too you know.

I have a lot of excellent cleaners and I'll tell you a few are just like you.I don't doubt you get few redos. I used to be just like you. Then I opened my eyes and learned even more. Is there a problem with that?

You honestly don't want to take out some stains that drive some customers wild for years?

The customers like my cleaners too, however facts are facts.

The fewer calls they get, the more money I make. Now explain that.

As for the red wine, easy stuff, not like koolaid which is a pain. Lets open our eyes eh?

Good night Mr. Steamer, I'd like to meet you someday. I'm definitely not like you think ask anyone who knows me. I'm 44 and part of the Led Zeppelin generation LOL. Not some fossil with a plastic pen holder.

Don't worry , I won't be here to bug you for a while.

 

 

I can't help after carefully reading all the posts but to come up with only one thing.  Mr. Steamer.  You are a ledgen in your own mind.  And if you can be all that you can be and accomplish all this each and  everyday and clean by the standards set forth I am surprised they make a truckmount that can keep up to you.

You see Mr. Steamer,

when you DON'T RUN IN SOMEONES HOUSE  and take your time, people feel comfortable and then allow you to clean the rest of their home.

When we give 6 jobs to a tech their job $ average is on approx. $60.00 less than when we give them 4.

Now lets see as a company owner what is more logical. Speedy cleaners with a lower average, or careful cleaners who have higher averages.

 

 You must work week ends or 16 hr days if you don't work on sat &sun?.8 homes a day .What 2 rooms a home and a couple of stairs?lol.

What to you charge per s.q and stairs etc.Terry

I am just curious 40 divided by 5 =8 houses a day. I take it the people bring their houses to you. I am not including travel or breaks but that only leaves you an hour a job everything included.  Are you the six million dollar man?  You must have more than 1 truck to accomplish this.  Even if you were running 2 wands at each job I personally do not think a quality job can be done that fast. @ an averag of a $100.00 per job you make good coin.  But to do that many jobs they must average 100 sq. ft. per job.

So I guess you never pilelift bad ta's, allow an adequate dwell time, give a post bonnet place an air mover to facilitate drying, try spot removal, groom in the protector, pad all furniture or carefully clean fine fabrics.

BECAUSE IF YOU DID, you'd have to use a helicopter OR you wouldn't be on this forum day and night.

Not saying you're a liar but................

You think we are all idiots?????????

 Steamer you clean or youre techs?

 How many in a day? ROOMS ,STAIRS FURNITURE ETC?.On a good week i'll clean about 20 homes , 3 br ,lr ,dr ,24 stairs and about 3 sofas 5 love seats and a couple of arm chairs.That's a good week.To bad it's not each week.

p.s i'm a one man show .Regards Terry
