Yes, and to think at one time I actually worked at getting some people pissed off. I wanted them to remember me . I succeeded.Now I am one of the best known people in the industry, and no longer try to piss people off. I try to help most people instead. Well, with a couple of exceptions I guess.There are some that I still enjoy getting worked up a bit. Most here know who I am talking about.

Kenny: I do not know you but I do know both sides of your reputation. I make no judgement. I do respect the advise that you give to others. You seem to be in a no win situation. Would I ever do business with you? I would certainly  have to be careful. Not being in the business now for a number of years I wish that your glides were available to try in my hay days. I do not post on the American boards because of censorship but do read them from time to time. You have pissed alot of people off. I take it for what it is. Your dedication to your business and the industry is something to be said. I enjoy your humour and wit. Good luck to you!

Treat your business as if you were out on your first date, Present yourself well , Articulate , Be impressive , Think of all the phony crap you're going to tell her/him , lie your ass off about unimportant dribble of useless information , Talk with conviction , End the conversation with pleasantries.......AND HOPE YOU HAVE A SECOND DATE.

So what happened to you Ken?

Hammy: I got enrolled in a crash learning program on this subject the last 3 years. It has been hard on my ego at times, and very hard on my finances, but I am better for it. I was able to learn these lessons even when times got tough because of one simple message I never forgot:

"What does not kill me, only makes me stronger"


and of course my favorite inspirational piece by Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds titled " Press On". Any body else know it?]]> Fri, 10 Nov 2006 17:52:00 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3069&PID=70575&title=new-shipment-of-rotovac-360s#70575 <![CDATA[New Shipment of Rotovac 360's : So what happened to you Ken? ]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3069&PID=70573&title=new-shipment-of-rotovac-360s#70573 Author: Hammy

Very true Jack. This is the essence of all business and personal relationships. Most people do not realize they both work on this very simple principal. Always sell yourself first..........If you can't do that the rest does not matter......If you are a master at this.....the world is yours for the asking.

The commercial market place is a tough game. Not to say that there is not money to be made in it. You have to know your competition. You have to sepparate yourself from them and offer something different. Easier said than done. It took years for me to realize that. Truck mount to truckmount we are all the same in the commercial cleaning game. Fast drying, no wicking, and appearance is the name of the game. Don't get caught up in what manufacturers tell you. Listen to your customer. I don't mean to preach to the choir but you have to keep your mind open to different cleaning methods and tools.]]> Fri, 10 Nov 2006 16:48:53 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3069&PID=70562&title=new-shipment-of-rotovac-360s#70562
