Another $5K day...

[Mark Saiger]

Just another big crazy day...and a couple more like this yet this week....not quite as big....

But....DANG! The phone is still going crazy!

It's amazing what 2 Butlers, 2 Zippers and 2 guys can knock out in a day!

Elder care facility and 3 other places as well today....had about 2 hours off during the day....but we just keep cranking the throttle up and "let er buck"!

Even had the head of maintenance running the Zipper tonight...he really likes it!

And we really like him....because he had everything prevaced!

Time for shower, little kick back and crank up the "Saiger Machine" again in the morning with my trusty "Boy Wonder" son in law Aron Jewett!

Hey! We do that same place!!

 

[Mike Draper]

at least you dont have to worry about your solution hose burning the lawn.

Didn't have them in place when pic shot....

But here is an example of what they usually look like

 

[SamIam]

I was thinking that too, wheres the lawn darts???

Good job Mark!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Nice work Mark!

 

[Brian H]

Mark, you are ROCKING!!! I hope you have a BIG vault to store all that revenue you are producing!!

 

[hogjowl]

Do folks up there worry about their grass?

Ours grows so fast the yellow line is gone in a day.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I never worry about it in my yard. In fact I leave crop circles from the Butler when I pull up to the back deck.

A clients we stay off the grass. It should grow back no problem but I don't care to reseed a yard.

 

[Desk Jockey]

The crew Zipped a white plush this am said it cleaned well and was incredibly dry and that was with a Prochem Performer, not even our Butler's.

With all this dual wanding going on with two trucks your next machine needs to be an Aerotech. For the price of a Butler and $20k you cut your travel time on your vehicles down by half.

Then your son in law works with one of the butlers and you have two helpers to run the two wands on the aerotech. You seem to get a lot of big jobs where dual wanding works great---actually I think you like having your son in law there to Carry His load And yours so you can sit back and take pictures...

Love your enthusiasm and energy...

Damn, I'm jealous. Where do you get these great jobs!?!?!?!?

No kidding! ig:

 

[TomKing]

Great job Mark.

If myself or a few others shared that we would get the you must not be pre-scrubbing comments.

 

[Desk Jockey]

At least you get that Tom. I always get "Nobody believes you without video".

Bass-turds!!!

 

[hogjowl]

That's truthfully because nobody believes you do it.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Ok so most of the time I don't. Butt damn if I'm not there in spirit every minute!

 

[hogjowl]

That's because you're worried about your money.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Whutt money?

I do this because I enjoy "the feeling of accomplishment".......and its all I know. ig:

 

[JS41035]

Five grand. Sounds like a normal Tuesday.
Shoulda sold some protectant. Your leaving money behind.

 

[Mikey P]

We justvhad back to back recored months but I bet they pale in comparison to Saigers Wholesale Crack an Carpet Cleaning..

 

[hogjowl]

I think he's ON crack.

I've made a LOT of money in one day cleaning,,,but I won't talk about it...usually gentleman don't brag about what they make.

Why make some newBEE feel bad when he compares his hundreds to thousands??
Did we make really big money when we started...or did we ramp up over the years?
Some folks live where you can buy a nice house for 50k...so the comparison could be skewed a bit...the guy that cleans for 20 cents in the center of the country could be better off...he could buy 20 houses to one in some other area...

We are in a great trade, folks...whatever we can make in a day!

I still feel that way as I did in 2010...Jimbo

 

[Desk Jockey]

I bitch and whine a lot butt we are damn lucky to be in this business. Its truly the golden goose. You work as much or as little as you want. There is always money there if you want to work.

I hear what you are saying Jimbo, at the same time I do like hearing that 5 grand in a day is possible with two rigs..

I came here in my 3rd year in the business , and have paid close attention to those that post big numbers and see what they are doing that I'm not. I think mostly the guys that are getting the big bucks are raising there prices instead of adding vans.. I raised my prices minimally this year and still busy, I'm going to keep doing it till I get some push back.

I remember someone saying if you don't get turned down because of price your not charging enough..

I want to get to a better price point at the same time add employees.. I feel a lot better cleaning when I know there is another wand somewhere making me money also.

 

[hogjowl]

Understand, you're only going to see videos and read posts about the grand times. Don't let the fact that nobody tells you about their dead days, weeks or months cause you to think the mega posters don't experience them.

If you have slow periods, don't think your alone. We all do sometimes.

 

[Desk Jockey]

well Debbie downer are you done or are you trying to depress us all? fook!

 

[bob vawter]
