Dual Wanding With Hagopian

[Art Kelley]

So I'm doing some carpet and furniture work today in a small house in my city and the lady said someone is coming to do the bathroom tile. I told her I clean tile and she said "I didn't know that". LOL. That's why you need to let your customers know what services you offer. I'm not that good about that. It all went well and the two hagopian workers, Dave and Mike. were very nice and professional. We didn't get into a fistfight on the front lawn. The lady wanted know to who had the longer hose.

If only there was some way of putting a list of services on the outside of our service vans....

 

[Art Kelley]

When I went into upholstery cleaning I sent out announcements to all my customers and even changed my company name to include upholstery cleaning. I just haven't been as gung ho about tile cleaning even though it is an excellent add on service that can double a job ticket and can give dramatic results. There's just something about it that holds me back...

 

[mirf]

A little more urgency now. Who had the higher ticket?

 

[SamIam]

Hope they had lawn darts and didn't burn the lawn with the water line.

 

[GCCLee]

That is Awesome!


Ken would be loving this : )

 

[bob vawter]

[Willy P]

Nope Bawb. That's a truck outside of a portable.

We as pros need to be pros...and that means acknowledging eachother in that way....had some hagopain guys wave to me on their end of town..gladly waved back...

 

[Desk Jockey]

I always make a point of waving to ALL competitors. Can I help it if my other three fingers are tired when I wave???

Forget about waving... He needs to figure out that his QC's are backwards.

Fireman's rule...

ALL Tools have a Male QC on them, You don't wand to drag your pecker over the concrete when putting away your hose... It will damage it.

Discuss...

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Joe I agree with qc direction. However we don't drag female ends on concrete either.

 

[SamIam]

Females dragged are worse in 2 ways they cost more to replace and if dinged hard enough the wont let the male slip in. You can however rub the male piece to make it fit back into the female. by grinding a little brass off. Either way don't drag the brass!

Damn this sounds bad!

I hand wrap my lead hose and hang it. Dragging either male or female qc will damage them (and is hack). My theory on why tools have male ends is that they're cheaper for the manufacturers to use (and also for the cleaner who has multiple tools). I've always had female ends on tools since I started, it just seems wrong and weird to me to do it the other way. Of course I always have to change out qc's when I get a tool.

Thanks for the nice words about our 2 cleaners Art. Dave has been with us for a little over 19 years and Mike a relative newby has only been with us for 6 years. Both good guys!!

That's why we use all stainless steel quick connects. They cost a lot more then the brass but they last forever. We even buy the rebuild kits for them.

Rebuild kits?

 

[joey895]

I put all females on my tools and male on hose since the one on the hose gets the roughest treatment, it is the cheaper one to replace. Although I only replace even it once a year when I replace my lead hose. I don't think I've ever replaced a female on any of my tools.

Basically it's a new tip, spring and o-ring.
