Lets get to reality. No customer base will be built with portables. Your customers are not stupid. They want an upscale cleaning. Lets all hit reality now. I have run portables and tm, and you will get NO respect or repeat business on portables. Truck mounts I am banging down a whore business worthy of a gamer. Its fun. So to any dumb ass who thinks they will succeed with a portable, I say nothing. Go for it. I wish you the best. FOOL! |

You can configure an oustanding portable system in a van that will impress nearly any customer. If you've got a porty with 2 14 amp boosters sitting out in your van and you run hose into the house,that thing is sucking a lot of air. I would use my own generator, too.

Here is my point...
When you seek a mechanic do you ask to see if he/she uses snap-on or craftsman?
or
a plumber "what type tools you have?"
really a customer wants "RESULTS"
they do not care if it comes from a portable or TM.
the secret in this industry is........
the chemical or lack of you are using to remove the stains/soils, the
machine removing it is secondary.
I have my own home-brew for tough stains.
remember I am crazy.
enjoy all!! I love you.

He pulls his portable out of the back of the van, jumps on the elevator and presses the 25th floor ......If he owns a truckmount he tells the guy/girl very politely, "I'm sorry sir/maam I don't have the capability to clean the 25th floor with my truckmount", and then he gives him/her my number.

and Arrogant ! I started 25 years ago with a portable , was I the best out there at the time? I thought so .....and that's all that mattered. It kept me going until I invested in a truck mount... the rest is history. I think bait and switchers and generally dishonest cleaners are the losers that we don't need in this industry....... A honest hard working owner operator with his or her first portable is " NOT a loser but a believer in the entrepreneurial way. If it's all you can afford, buy the best you can afford and keep plugging away.
