Lets get to reality.  No customer base will be built with portables.  Your customers are not stupid.  They want an upscale cleaning.  Lets all hit reality now. I have run portables and tm, and you will get NO respect or repeat business on portables.  Truck mounts I am banging down a whore business worthy of a gamer.  Its fun. 

So to any dumb ass who thinks they will succeed with a portable, I say nothing.  Go for it. I wish you the best.  FOOL! 

I can remove more spots than you can.

You can configure an oustanding portable system in a van that will impress nearly any customer. If you've got a porty with 2 14 amp boosters sitting out in your van and you run hose into the house,that thing is sucking a lot of air. I would use my own generator, too.

Here is my point...
 
When you seek a mechanic do you ask to see if he/she uses snap-on or craftsman?
or
a plumber "what type tools you have?"
really a customer wants "RESULTS"
they do not care if it comes from a portable or TM.
 
the secret in this industry is........
the chemical or lack of you are using to remove the stains/soils, the
machine removing it is secondary.
I have my own home-brew for tough stains.
remember I am crazy.
 
enjoy all!!  I love you.

Question; how does a person  clean a 3 million dollar condo on the 25th floor?

Drive the van UPTHERE???
 
He pulls his portable out of the back of the van, jumps on the elevator and presses the 25th floor ......If he owns a truckmount he tells the guy/girl very politely, "I'm sorry sir/maam I don't have the capability to clean the 25th floor with my truckmount", and then he gives him/her my number. Wink

Thats what I'm talking about John L/cmaster, this guy isn't seeking help, he's seeking pissing people off and that kind of ignorance has no place here IMO.
Geeknot sure why your getting offended?Confused
