Mr. Steamer: By the sounds of things you should join AA. Then you can meet some new employee prospects. A graduate, then you can drive him to drink again. You can offer incentives to graduates and to AA as long as Guitar

you hire them they will be back.

I think I finally understand.... hire no one... forget hiring... because I've tried all this... carpet cleaning is a demanding profession... it takes a lot to stick with it....

no matter how much you pay a guy on friday... you might not see him saturday morning

Hey at ServiceMaster (not going to say which one) they get 34% and there's guys who have been there 10+ years.

There is a job for everybody you just have to be patient and you'll find guys who want to work for chump change.

Just because YOU wouldnt work for $15.00/hour does not mean somebody else wont.

I see people working at Tim Hortons for years and they start at $7.00/hour.

If you want to get rich, you have to pay people a wage that you yourself would never work for.

I have a friend who owns 27 stores...he his a multi millionaire and he has about 200 employees who all make less than $9.00/hour IN TORONTO!

I'm looking to get away from the everyday grind of Carpet Cleaning, and I'm looking for some reliable employees. People that will come to work everyday and do a great job everytime....

should I pay them in percentage??? how much??? hourly????

Basically How do you keep employees happy??? drug plan... benefits???

If you're are an employee or an employer what works best for you?

Steamer,

From where I sit it appears it will never work. Even if money motivates them. No one wants to tell their friends or mother-in-law they are cleaners. Yuk.

Most employees I see steal your business and start their own show. Fortunately for you most fail. Most people I know get out because of an employee problem.

Enough negativity from an old fart. Let's hear from a positive young up-start. Just how do they overcome this problem and meet it as a challenge.
