I had a dude once working for me who left. He never mentioned it to me, but told my other guys I'd never make it in the carpet cleaning business. He'd worked for a couple of franchises before me. He said I knew nothing about running a carpet cleaning business. I'm not arguing with him. I may not.
That was over 20 years ago.
He briefly showed up on the All Six Of Us forum a few years back, but had nothing to say and little to contribute, so I was unable to learn from his vast experience.
So he came from another company before he worked with you?
Let me guess..
He thought you:
Worked too slow, too many dry strokes
Didn't upsell enough
Wasted time raking the pile
" " Pre scrubbing clean carpet
" " Using fans
" " Talking to the customer about life
" " Post spotting when you could just say "Sorry Mam, dat ders permnents"
Didn't send out enough couples or run enough sales
No flashy website
Ran dangerous explosive propane bombs..
or he could just tell you were an asshole but are the only game in town..
