Ok so I move couches and chairs but I charge by the square foot, I use sliders, and a lift buddy so its no big deal.  I let the customer know up front what I will move and what I won't.

I work for the money, but I realize that if I can make a decent profit on a job AND get the same house year after year I'm ahead. 

Repeats and referal keep the money coming in.  So what if I gotta move a little furniture, at least  I'm not stuck in a cubicle filling out TPS reports.

I don't know how it is in your world, but in mine if I'm going to spend a couple of hours in a house and walk away a two hundred dollar check and I can't move a few peices of furniture my customer might have a few questions for me.

Or maybe he won't question it, he just won't call me back.

CCT, UFT, OCT, CRT, RRT, WRT, SMT, FSRT, JTC, JSR, JWR, MTC a great life, if you don't weaken.

I still stand by my statement... I haven't degraded myself one little bit... I have absolutely no problems sleeping at night or cashing my paycheque for that matter. A job well done is a job well done... I just prefer to do it right the first time without pissin' and moanin' about moving a bit of furniture... Nightrider grow up and do the job your paid (maybe a little too well) to do.

"JUST SWIMMIN IN CIRCLES" That's what your little logo says and the post you wrote above proves just that.

When I first started working ( at age 12 on a milktruck during summer vacation) making 2.50 /day from 7am to 3 pm Saturdays 5.00/day I was taught to work hard and honest and do extra work to please my boss.

I did work for the Federal Government as well as my wife and when the work killed her, all they said was " We Need The Keys Back ASAP " my wife gave her all right down to her life with NO EXTRA PAY  for services rendered.

When I started in the carpet cleaning business, I would have moved the house&foundation over 2 feet if I could, all for free, until I woke up real quick knowing that everybody was taking advantage of my good nature, since 1985 whatever I did extra I got paid for, and gained loads of respect ..........I wasn't know as the cheap carpet cleaner any longer, I was known as Jack Prince the BUSINESSMAN

Who & what do you want to be known as.............

My condolences on your loss... but it sounds like you're Jack Prince the "bitter"man. And by the way, the "just swimmin in circles" is a play on something you will never understand... it's an inside joke that only I and my friends understand.Why include it you ask?? Because I could. Again, and I truly mean this, sorry about your loss.

Good for you papagator and Advantage!! That is the right attitude.

SpongeBob you should go back to school, only this time you should listen and stop sniffing glue. You think flybynightrider knows anything about business? What he knows about business you could write on the head of a pin.

Pepsi IS IN THE BUSINESS of making soft drinks. When is the last time you drove around in 2006 Pepsi 510 with a Pioneer CD player and power mats?? As for the other stuff about the trucks, I was explaining that Pepsi DOES A WHOLE LOT MORE that make soft drinks.

There are alot of shisters out there in the CC biz and the more people see them the more call us.

You keep drinking those soft drinks Kelpro and remember every one you guzzle down puts another coin in the Pepsi Bank Account..........now tell me again that Pepsi and all the companies in the world are in business other than MAKING MONEY...........what a MORON you are. Your Mother & Father are probably ashamed of you wasting all their money to put you through elementary school all the way to grade 6.........

Here's another factozoid for you DumbPro, you are paying more for the can than the actual soft drink, look at the first ingrediant on a soft drink what does it say.......WATER........

Of course it's deionized water Jim ( NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THAT ) or otherwise known as " Distilled ", that doesn't make it pure water in any stretch of the imagination. This is grade 8 literature Jim you know that, I was distilling water when I was 9 years old playing around with chemistry sets.

The process of deionization is simple, cost effective and necessary for the formulation of a soft drink mixture not to alter the taste of the sugars and so that the ingrediants blend and mix well. Electrically polar molecules dissolve easily in water and that's why it's done.

This step in the preparation of the soft drink does not effect bottom line profits or costs any more than your caps you put on your gallon containers.

Kelpro...........case closed........just like your mind

Why not just ask yourself the question as to why YOU are in business...........to clean carpets............or.............make money

Now go have a Pepsi, clean a carpet, and make a bank deposit.

NR

I was talking with Lee S today and he said that he wanted to meet you in Montreal as well. I think he said he is going over the Christmas period. Can you imagine that? 3 of us together in the land of Les Habitants
