wouldn't say we're friends,,,,,,more like aquaintances

advertise a turn key business... promise to train and show them the ropes... lease them the equipment... with promises to sell them the business... thats what everyone else does...lol

people will work when they know it isn't a dead end job.... promotion and incentives will get anyone to work....

good luck

That's like cleaning carpets for your friends. They expect a cheap professional job. And so do their freinds...and so on, and so on, and so on...

Your right, women are not only hard workers we also are very bossy and like to do things our way. If I had my time over and knew then what I know now, I would of started my own carpet cleaning business.  Good Luck and hopefully your wife will still have a friend in a few weeks.

I have been there many times especially in my small town.  Lucked the last guy stayed for about 5 years and still helps part time when I need him.  My son is on the other truck.  Or should I say I am on the other truck.Guitar]]> Thu, 13 Jan 2005 20:34:09 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=974&PID=15289&title=hiring-a-technician#15289 <![CDATA[hiring a technician : yeah but I&#039;ve tried the newpaper...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=974&PID=15286&title=hiring-a-technician#15286 Author: Steaminpile

After a while he thought he was the boss I got tired of doing all the work while he watched. didn't like being told what to.  It was ok for the first while but started to go downhill. I gave him a choice one day either do the job or go home.  He went home.  I have friends that help me but for good reasons we never talk employment that way we have all stayed friends.]]> Thu, 13 Jan 2005 18:47:23 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=974&PID=15276&title=hiring-a-technician#15276
