bob, quit starting threads just to talk about yerself.

it's very prideful, and YOU know what the bible says about pride.

So repent ye heathen prideful man.

Besides you've already let everybody know your "secrets" as you tell every thought that comes into your head.

Are you related to darlene?Tell us about the divorce from numba 2.

That 'splains it!

Oh, did you get the plaque that CHad sentcha?




Why is my keyboard sticky?

OK, I have a question or two...

Bob, what is your position on shill bidding on ebay?

Do you believe the words "new" and " re-conditioned" can be used interchangeably?

# 1.....NOOOO.he is a lying little pindick!
# 2.....I've never shill bided an item on ebay. if someone ELSE has bid on an item of mine i suppose that they would have ta BUY it if they met my reserve....!
# 3 If a item has NEVER been used and i has a receipt..it is new like EVERTHING on my machines....if however one takes the item apart to refurbish it....it would be considered re-built!
#4....no...me an' Darlene are NOT related...

Now then are there any more questions!

I'll humor ya, since I don't know much of the bob story.

1. At the low prices you claim do you operate on extreme volume or just keep your costs low? How many jobs per day?

2. With the low prices can you have techs and profit 30-60k per truck?

3. How many trucks do you operate after 40 years, with the "advantage" of making your own machines.

4. Do you advertise? Price ads or quality?

5. 1 or 2 man crews?

6. Are apts your bread and butter?

7. Assuming your not on the jobs making sure it's done "right" do your blow and go techs have many redo's?

8. Does the soil left behind hide wicking and re-soiling problems?

9. What dry times do you offer?

10. Do you speak as you type or does someone else answer your phones?

IF you died tomorrow, would mike have an alternative already in place to be on the hotseat?


How long do your techs stay employed by you?


Do you prevac and use a glide? If no, then why not?

How long do you take to train new techs?


If you could start over, what would you do differently.

What percentage of your gross is profit?

Do you have benefits or 401k?

Sorry I don't know more about you Bob, just a bit I read on a previous post that would suggest that you offer Economical carpet cleaning. Unfortunately where I live you have to sell CHEAP prices or die an ugly death trying to explain why your service is worth $$$$ to people who forgot they even own carpet.

1. How does your sales process work? I see prices for like $9 per room and I have to wonder how a person upsells to a reasonable price.

2. Do you charge extra for moving furn., prespray, etc.?

I hear that tOdd wants to log on for your interview.


Tell him that if he sends me a picture of himself standing next to his van, I'll let him on for the night.
