my buisness partner broke his neck two weeks ago and i had to get someone to help me out. i found i guy through a friend who is in the bizz. he was a former sears guy with 8 years on the job. my first thought was he worked for sears so there will be alot of bad habits, but he's great. i'm only sorry i can't pay him more than the 10 bucks per hour i'm paying him. oh and my partner is going to be fine.]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2005 19:23:45 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2110&PID=55277&title=helpers#55277 <![CDATA[Helpers !!!??? : When I need help I am told to...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2110&PID=55275&title=helpers#55275 Author: doug

I believe ohiocleaner is thinking of a tech rather than a helper?

 

heck as a tech I started at 20%

 

I was at 30% within a year

Well I'll get a good helper right of the "Helper University".  Someone who has made it their life work to become a helper.

OHIO who are you kidding... it's a go no where job... one changes helpers more than one can change his socks...

15 to 20 % helper commission HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND

OK.....

YOU GUYS ALL HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!!

GOOD COMPANIES KNOW THAT IN ORDER TO HAVE (AND KEEP) GOOD WORKERS, YOU MUST PAY THEM WELL! 

PAY YOUR HELPERS 11% COMMISION IF YOU ARE A HIGH VOLUME COMPANY....IF YOU ARE A SOLE PROPRIETOR, YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY THEM MORE (AROUND 15%-20%) BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THE COST OF OVERHEAD.  IF YOU ARENT WILLING TO PAY HELPERS GOOD MONEY, THEN DONT EXPECT TO SEE GROWTH IN THE COMPANY AND CONTINUE TO HAVE A HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER. 

BUT IF YOU DO PAY YOUR HELPERS MORE, ESPECIALLY IN COMMISION, THEY WILL WANT TO WORK HARDER AND EARN MORE FOR YOU.  THEY WILL STAY WITH YOU LONGER AND CUSTOMERS WILL DEFINITELY APPRECIATE SEING THE SAME GUYS CLEAN THEIR CARPET EVERYTIME.  MAYBE AFTER A YEAR OR TWO, THE HELPER WILL BE READY TO BECOME A CREW CHIEF OF ANOTHER TRUCK FOR YOU.

 John;

 

I feel your pain my friend. Because I clearly remember those days.

I had one general rule of thumb that always proved itself:

"A employee is either a GOOD worker; or not. It doesn't matter what the pay is (within reason ofcourse!) ; he either shows up or he does not. He either does a GOOD job; or he does not. He is either on time; or he is not".

Period.

They either have certain inherited qualities that they grew up with;...or not.

Good Fortune to all;

Ed Valentine
