Hey Bono, I started CC at around your age (Im 26 now). I was also a heating/AC tech before I got into CC. ANyways, Welcome aboard!! Dont be shy to ask any questions you might have.
BTW, It would still be a good idea to attend classes and get certified.

i had a little prior experience in the carpet cleaning business before jumping in. i live in a college town and one of my old neighbors had a bunch of contracts with some apartments around for what they call turn over season. i dont know if thats a common term or not but his grandfather was the mayor of a near by town so i saw him rake in tons of money doin apartments in a months time . i was like if he can do it so can i. thats when i learned its not always what ya as much as who ya know lol ------------- Refuse 2 Fail *Disclaimer Disclaimer* All of my comments are worthless and may lack spelling, punctuation, and detail. |

Your van is a rolling billboard. You should letter it. It's no extra cost advertising

K my profile is filled in. Well actually it only says I'm from Canada, but there's not much for options in the profile. We've taken for granted how effective our lettering is. We bought a new van and tm ect, and it doesn't have lettering on it right now, and we've noticed the calls go down even though it's Christmas right now. I think it's going in next week though. Our wrap is finished anyway. ------------- -cal http://www.skookums.ca - http://www.skookums.ca |
