I bet your wand is as small as your mind Steamer and maybe you should have it bronzed and post a picture here on the forum. We could all use a good laugh. Steamer do you also have wet carpet dreams every night about yourself or does your ego allow for such foolishness. This is your favorite saying is it not. Suction there is no xxx rated going on here just a friend playing head games with another friend. No offense to anyone. |

Steamer We have always loved your posts but have noticed you usually hold back on really, really good info you could share but normally don't. I commend you on your post of free spotting door to door offering a business card and an introduction to your company. How could they say no??? Excellent info! The cash is there for all of us. We just have to bend over and pick it up. |

Steamer I don't get you sometimes. Ted, Doug and I have told you that you are an intelligent young man who obviously believes in himself. Why oh why do you not go on your own and break away from these big companies who are sucking our industry dry. Stop playing safe and thinking small, that is why you want to dip your wand in Bronze. Go for the Gold and Fly Baby Fly. |

Plus what I have on my side is..... I GIVE SERVICE! I pull at least 15 to 20 calls a week just personal service calls, which I was refered by someone.... no matter how much money you spend on advertising word of mouth is GOLDEN... A lot of cleaners don't pull what I pull and they advertise.. You all think I'm full of myself... good....cuz I can be... NO LIES I"M JUST THAT DAMN GOOD. |

You're not gonna run a big named outfit.... yet.
First, get a secretarial service to put all the addresses from your diary or invoice books into an Excel spreadsheet, cause you're gonna write a letter to them. The letter talks simply about a new carpet cleaning business, and how you've had years of experience with "BRAND NAME COMPANY HERE" Then you put a picture of Mr. Steamer, and a discount voucher. They'll get it. Secretarial services have changed. They can and will take all your incoming calls, and answer them exactly how you want them to. They'll only charge you for the number of phone calls they recieve, and they're more flexiable in what they say. With the proper script, they are your support staff. Telemarketers for hire are avaliable. Have them call the higher end suburbs. So you've got no staff, so you don't need an office. If you don't like the sound of all that, then see if there's any government grant to hire someone who's been long-term unemployed. Then find yourself that gem that is a trained & talented secretary who's re-entering the workforce parttime now that her kids have grown up. Often you'll find that their previous experience is closer to running a business for thier boss, rather then just being a boss' secretary. She may even teach you a thing or two. Use the equity in your home to take out a personal loan to get you started. Reparis? You won't be doing 5 or 6 calls a day, so they decrease. I'm sure that whatever supplier you decide to use will have a reputable service department. Get a second hand machine as your back-up. Mount it in a trailer rather then in the van's body. If you ever do get an off-sider, then you can drop them off at a job this way as well. You control the pricing now, and you retain all the profits. It's your decision to either become big, with two or three staff, or just run a lifestyle business that gives Mr. Steamer more time to do Steamy stuff. or.... stay where you are -Allen |

Allen some good information you gave and very creative. What I am saying to Steamer is that I can see a lot of potential in him but what ever floats his boat is OK too. It can be hard to break away and take that next step when you are already relying on what ever you have to support the growing family and the other responsibilities that never seem to stop coming at ya. Most times it takes money to back you in your adventure and a great support system. This at most times can be hard to come by especially as the years go by. I'll say no more |

I hate telemarketers too...true story...we got this company..Delux Carpet Cleaning...that calls me all the time...on my business phone...I answer "Magic Carpet Cleaning"...and they always go right into their sales pitch...I stop them and ask "Hey, how did I just answer the phone?"...and they reply "Magic Carpet Cleaning"...I then say "well, don't you think I'd clean my own carpets"...one day they caught me in a real bad mood and I called the girl on the other end a "dumb bitch" ( I know, that was bad of me)...she hung up...about 5 minutes later, some guy claiming to be the "supervisor" of the telemarketers called me to jump all over me about my rudeness to his employee...I won't even get into to what I said to him...anyway, I asked him (accually told him) to take me off of their call list...it didn't do any good...they still call me at least every other month...
