Seen it a million times, right? Newbies dive in, they buy the fanciest gear, and then hit the town with flyers. It's the cleaning business roller coaster.

New carpet cleaning gear, quick jobs, referrals. But, then the business expenses hit. Marketing, maintenance, equipment repairs, gas, chemicals etc.,

How about that shiny brand new truckmount? Payments can be a real stinger. Business slows, more bills, and suddenly, you are out of the carpet cleaning game.

Repeat.

"Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail."

It's a reminder that having a solid plan and sticking to it increases the odds of success. Whether in business, life, or cleaning carpets, a well-thought-out strategy can make a world of difference.

LOL. Usually I live in the future.Most of my ideas are so far advanced beyond what most carpet cleaners can understand, that I wonder why I put so much effort into improving their working lives. So I like to go to the past to post stuff that even the dumbasses can understand.

Ok we passes all the good stuff... the next on my list is customer service....

I'm sorry but a lot of carpet cleaners are really just cleaners.... they lack personality and customer service.

I love calling the local guys to hear how the answer the phone... they never use company name...a good morning... or even Hello. Most times you get "YEP" in your ear... If I'm a customer I just hang up.

Or while in the house you have no corner protectors drop cloths or clean rags to help protect the customers prize possesion...

you don't smile or make idle chit chat... you look angry, the customer is afraid to approach you.

a smile goes a long way

Great discussion, I was a Union Electrician, making $33. hr. for 6 months a year, I would go to work with a friend cc when layed off, we had a great time and I learned the biz, my friend got killed in a car accident and I purchased the business from the estate, turned it from a good business into a great business, we would buy our chems in 45 gal drums. Had many tm`s and lots of good gov. contracts. Would have made my friend proud.

Retired>could`nt stay away>, back in..

Cleaning carpets is 45% of the business, You HAVE to know about business.. "The E-Myth" by Micheal Gerber

They never had this forum 20 yrs. ago! Great advantage
