I will not be taken for a fool!


Sorry, too late! You already are. I think anyone that does not believe that I have 3 trucks running daily cleaning carpets is in that boat with you too. Where the heck did you think I got all the knowledge I have on this industry????? Reading it in books???? LOL. Use your brains for a change. Only someone that has been there and done that in a big way could possibly know what I know! If your brain is too small to grasp that simple piece of logic, then I feel sorry for you.

Mostly on the commercial side they do, but on the residential side, they might have all of 5% between them. Remember, there are over 500 TMs in this city, but those 2 companies have less than 40 units between them.And they are not even in the high end market at all here.Both are mid market pricers(.20 to .29/sq). They dont effect my market at all.

I for example... Ted had a USED Cimex machine for $4,200... when you can get them right here in toronto BRAND NEW for $3,800
 
I'm sure ted didn't know...but I wouldn't have either if I didn't do my research. 
 
 
Let's set the record straight. Ted's used Cymex was never $4,200.00 at that time they sold new for $4,200.00 they now sell new for $3,800.00
 
My used one sold for $2,500.00 to a very happy customer who's very first job was a convention floor of rental mats. Took him 3 days 90,000 sq/ ft. He did the job himself @ 4cents sq/ft. 90,000 x 4cents = $3,600.00 and it has no gas tank.
 
Happy Happy Happy Customer! Tongue
 
I trained him, I  helped him gain confidence in this new system and helped him land this lucrative account. He probably could have purchased it from a guy who sold cars last week and shoes next week. But, lucky for him he didn't.
 
Steamer,
 
If there is something better, you know Ted will have it. My new unit beats the pants off the Cymex in both speed and quality. So far I am selling them as fast as they come in. They are more money than the Cymex.

Cool math, maybe my calaouses on my hands will go down 10 percent too. We should post pictures of our hands. Then we could really see who is working, and who just has calaouses on their figure tips from spending too much time on here.(ken, steamer, doug)
If thats not the case, then show your techs hands, cause I'm sure most of you are smart enough not to do everything yourself.
Seriously, how cold is it up there in Canada EH. You guys are on here all the time. I check periodically, and boom, theres 25 responses from the last time.

But it is cool to have other carpet cleaners to talk to. We've got the coolest stories that most just cant relate with.
For instance.....What's the longest time you've let your dump water (shrack) sit in your tank?

I gave my friend a ride with two day old shrack in the tank and wow, he's not my friend anymore.

Do you ever use your vac hose to "clear the air"? (stick it on your pant leg for 5 sec until the smell is gone)

Ever flooded your van when filling?

Ever carbon monoxide your customers because you parked too close with wrong wind?

Ever pee in your competitions gas tank? Me niether.
