How long you been cleaning carpets?

 

How long have you owned your own business?

 

How old are you?

 

How large or small is your business?

 

How large or small do you WANT it to be?

 

How old do you think you will be when you retire?

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

Okay John

I've been cleaning carpets for 24 years

I've owned my own business since 1988

I'm 44 years old

We put out 7-10 routes each day

We want to get smaller as a company

I want to retire when I'm 60

Steamer

You are much to talented to waste your money, high energy and time working the wholesale side of this business. Sacrifice a little time and start looking at building your own clientèle.

Bit the bullet and get out of this rat race and start your own business cold turkey. Takes guts and you have it.  The fact that you feel good doing the proper job for even your wholesale customs means that you could also draw much satisfaction from helping others in our industry.

What goes around comes around.  

Make sure that's a bullet your biting and not me.

ohhh geeeeee I'm all smiles now....but when you have kids...car payments...mortgage...bills....it's just nice to have a cheque rolling in...

I have a lot of customers, and I'm slowly making the move, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to do it the way I want to.

I don't want to Step out Half-Assed...when I come I'll come 100% correct.

I've actually put a Marketing Team on the job...you'd be surprised by their findings....lol

When I step out...You'll all know who Mr. Steamer is...

 Well not just carpet cleaning but....

I've been in the cleaning business since 1993

I'm 34 years old

Small business.  Six employees plus myself

I would like to be a little bigger.  Just large enough so that I can do a little less of the manual labour  :)

I doubt that I will ever retire.   Some day when I'm 90 an autoscrubber will be my walker. :)

All I can say..is that you are the BILLY GRAHAM of carpet cleaning...do you put your hands on the rugs to heal the stains out too???

Is there a more holy carpet cleaner in this world than Lee...I think not

call Lee for your next rug healing.... carpet church twice on sundays and once in the middle of the week
