5 Arounds

[Dusty Bell]

For thise of you doi g 5 aroinds, or have in the past...

Are you door knocking, leaving something on the door/porch, or mailing something?

Are 5 arounds working for you? What is your typical response?

 

[Mikey P]

If they don't answer the door, don't bother.


Hopefully you're good at conversing with strangers and secure in your manhood.

 

[hogjowl]

He's probably not a vegetarian

Truthfully now Mike,
Don't you miss the days when Mr. Sutley was a persona non grata on this very board?

 

[hogjowl]

Oh! The other one shows up!

 

[hogjowl]

Truthfully now Mike,

Those were the good old days, weren't they?
Don't you miss Foster and Less?

 

[ruff]

I been lurking, you troll.

 

[ruff]

Those were the good old days, weren't they?

Foster had lots of good posts. Less................well. But War Monger was hard to swallow.

I.thought he still was? When did he elevate beyond being hated? I don't remember voting.

 

[ruff]

It was snuck in as a policy rider: Mardie out, Marty in.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Is that like when congress passes a popular bill but adds some crap legislation to it so it flies under the radar?

Not that Martin is crap....well...maybe.

Yeah he is!

 

[ruff]

I can confirm......about congress , that is.

 

[Mikey P]

I still believe Marty told Les he was going to buy one of those bombs...

 

[BIG WOOD]

The best advice I got from SFS and applied on 5arounds/3arounds/any arounds was

Knock and or leave something behind.

Start the conversation with an apology, and a freebie for the apology

 

[ruff]

I still believe Marty told Les he was going to buy one of those bombs...

Well......kudos for coming to his senses.
I know it was tough, but was it Foster approved?

 

[Mikey P]

I had far more issues with it than my 370.

 

[hogjowl]

I've "ordered" three Butlers over the years.

And an EZ.

I didn't know you were a victim also

 

[Jimmy L]

Five arounds never did anything for me but make me tired. People don't like to be bothered. Residential cleaning is event or emotionally driven. So if they are not looking that day there is nothing you can do to convince them. And if you do set an appointment by door knocking they will...........cancel before the event takes place.

 

[hogjowl]

I never received any of those units., but I HAVE called them and talked with them and got prices.

Apparently that's all you have to do with Judson to place an "order".

Did they try to screw you that way? I don't understand.

 

[hogjowl]

Judson told Satan I'd backed out of a "deal" we had.
This place was just another TeeMF for a few months.

 

[Askal]

I have had great results with judson machines and Les' help with a few small issues. I have about 2500 hours each on 3 machines. Will never go back to machines with miles of wire diodes and diverters. Just my experience after 40 years.

 

[hogjowl]

Along about that time, I was becoming tired of slide in's, and I eventually bought a direct drive, but the reason I didn't buy a Judson was because of how much room they took in the van. My TCS slide ins didn't leave much room, but the Judson was downright ridiculous.

 

[Jimmy L]

Satan enjoys the whole gossip thing ..............just like a woman.

@Dusty Bell Good to see you here! I know we converse offline, but happy to see you posting here. Even if these bozos highjacked your thread.

If you aren't interested in personally leaving something with those that don't answer the door, there are some really good programs out there now that allow you to do this my mailing a post card. You could even go so far as taking a picture of their house and then uploading it to create a custom post card and personalize a message. I believe Send Jim has that capability. If you can't do a custom photo card, I know you can do a 5 around type thing with it.

We haven't signed up with them yet, but I'm looking in to it. I'm not thrilled with the reminder cards from SM and may do them through Send Jim instead. They are supposed to be partnering with SM, but never can get an answer as to when. Are you still using SM?

 

[hogjowl]

Yes

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

This place was never a TeeMF , you got mad a left and went to TeeMF for a few months or more.

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, that's it.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Yeah, that's it.

Baby

I think 5 arounds petered out around 1970. I don't believe it can be resurrected. Might as well try selling encyclopedias door to door.

I'm James, that ship has sailed. She comes back when we go back to using bag phones or mounting the phone in your van.

Other people did it....it waz cool....back then.

I'd focus my energy towards a more promising vehicle.
