A lady just called me and said she went to oprah.com and learned about clean as a whistle. She was excited about their service because they won carpet cleaner of the year award etc. and asked what method they reccommended. Basically she was learning about the industry and how a legitimate company should charge. They referred her to a compnay in Nashville, but she is in Memphis. She got my number from a friend at her work when they started talking about carpet cleaning. She asked if I did a 12 step program, used truck mounted equipment, and charged enough to do a good job. I was ecstatic talking with her because I finally had someone on the phone who would appreciate my knowledge and good work. She booked an appointment with me after calling several other well known companies in the area including SS and CD. I am going to have her whole law firm using me before the hollidays guaranteed.
By the way I read in a thread earlier someone grossed 1 million dollars but only kept around 200k. That is good and sad at the same time. A well structured business should be able to gross 350-400k and net the owner well over 200k. This can be done with one full time truck and a second part time truck. Everytime I think about restructuring my business the phone starts ringing with referrals. I am just going to stay the course and advertise a little more to my target audience. That is the fastest way to put 200k in my bank account.
