Interesting question from newbie today

[curt johnson]

Was at my distributor today and a guy just starting out was buying a bunch of stuff. Him and the dist. were talking and asked me for someone starting out what is quickest way to get business right away????

I've had my biz for 9 years so I can't even remember when I started out. Everything I brought up either costs a lot or you probably need to be more established for.....

So what did I say? "Here's the website you need to look at....mikeysboard.com".

 

[Mikey P]

why would you do that to the poor bastard?

 

[Royal Man]

Guess he could list his equipment for sale over here after a couple of months.

They are starting up more than ever and dropping like flies.

Dave,

One of those start ups here is Red Dog. I assume you've seen his stuff. I think he's gonna make it.

 

[FLYERMAN]

Yea he'll be as confused as all of us in no time.

Thats right now do I spray the acid rinse first and then extract with the prespray or do I put that lotion on my groin after the customer kicks me in the balls.. hmmm

I'm so proud of Sweeney.......just 23-more sessions and we will finally be able to let him out in public! :shock:


:mrgreen:

I know I will catch hell for this....but you know I am right.

The fastest way for a newbie to get more work is to call all the bigger carpet cleaning companies....or just all the carpet cleaning companies in general....and ask if they will sub out to him.

Even if it's a small percentage like 30%...at least it would be something to get you going. Of course it would be tough to get 50% out of a company because that's an extremely high %. shiteatinggrin But you never know.


Not sure if anyone knows this but when I bought my first Ninja and Astro back in the day, I did sub work and it was nice having the income to get me started.

Better than sittin on your ass gettin squat.


This has been a moment with Brian

No question about it- you are right on the money.

Now go have Cermack or Mikey fix your damn til. !dork!

 

[Brian R]

Thanks Ken

Hey Cermack....can you make my small banner on the main page look little better? It's pixelated and you can't read it.

Let me know if I need to do another one.

Thanks


Mikey's Board is better than email. lol

It does look likechit, but then I thought it was suppose to!


Saw your ad in Cleanfax, good spot for you.....and it wasn't pixelated!

 

[Brian R]

Hey thanks Chavez.


I think I just need to redo the banner all together.


The ad in cleanfax did look pretty good....quality of print I mean.
They are good peeps over there and made it look pretty.

You have a gift of understatement Sir Richard. Looks likechit is way too kind.
