Interview with Mike Pailliotet 10/17/2007

[Steve Smith]

Is it true you will be adding a second truck soon?

How do you think that will affect you personally?

 

[truckmount girl]

[quote="truckmount girl":1ogssit8]Do you use a rinsing agent, or are you a proponent of clear water rinsing?

Take care,
Lisa

I have tried it all Lisa and find that lots and lots of good soft water does as well as anything.


But I like to use lots of prespray and scrubin when needed.

If I were SSing all day I would run a emulsifier.[/quote:1ogssit8]

My sentiments exactly, I flound LESS resoil with a clear water rinse than the IICRC approved acid rinses....much less.

Take care,
Lisa

 

[Mikey P]

How did you make the transition from ruthless instigator on ICS board,to the more William F. Buckley jr. moderator type persona that you portray on MB.

Snow White and her 6 dwarfs keep me under control.


If I had tired to run this show by myself It would have never played out.

Just an example, look how nice I've been to Todd since he signed up.
Not one mention of his Pedophile mobile by me.

Are you enjoying the Mikey's Board?

 

[Mikey P]

Is it true you will be adding a second truck soon?

How do you think that will affect you personally?

I'm scared shitless to be honest with you but I got to try it.

It ain't gonna be easy in this market. All the rich republicans here want my handsome face to do the cleaning.

 

[Jim Martin]

1)..Where do you expect to see your company in the next 5 years ?

2)..Where do you expect to see your board in the next 5 years ?

3).. Taking in consideration the way the market is between the ATand Vortex..
If you had to buy another one in the next week.Which one would you buy ?
and why..... (please remember you are still under oath)



I came in late and have not read everything so if they have been asked just answer the damn things again

 

[The Preacher]

if you could build your multi truck company from posters here, who would you hire???

Management and techs.

 

[Mikey P]

Mike, if it were up to you, how would you solve world hunger and settle the mideast crisis...?

Build a huge wall around the US and be self supportive.

Screw the Caribou.

 

[bob vawter]

Mike, in honor of this festive occasion i am currently wearing the Mikey PeeTee...the one that i got for killing you that time......i think i will be cremated in that shirt...any comments?

 

[Gary T]

Mike, would you consider putting a truck on the road for T&G only?

 

[truckmount girl]

How do you think big, multi-truck companies effect the public's image of carpet cleaning? Are they good or bad for owner/op's and the industry in general?

Take care,
Lisa

 

[The Preacher]

give us your fav chems and why

PS, protectors, piss away etc

 

[Steve Smith]

What do you do when your not working?

Do you have hobbies?

If you do, are you better than anyone else at your hobbies? :wink:

 

[Mikey P]

if you could build your multi truck company from posters here, who would you hire???

Management and techs.

I would hire Jim, Scooter and Lisa to run the office.
I would have John Burris, Brevik and myself as crew chiefs.
Greenie and Matt King would be in charge of outfitting our exclusive truckmounts.

And you, Marty and Jimmy and a few other losers could be the chimps.

Do you look back and see it as a mistake having done all the cleaning, and conditioning the customer to expect you each time?

 

[Mikey P]

What do you do when your not working?

Do you have hobbies?

If you do, are you better than anyone else at your hobbies? :wink:

I ride bikes (motorized and peddle powered), play fuax hockey, take my son all over this usa of America to play tournament hockey, run a Bulletin Board, Watch nature fly by, go wine tasting, do yard work, feed my reptiles, walk my dogs and beat my wife.

 

[The Preacher]

i'd be a chimp for enough $$$!!! if the company was being run right!

 

[Steve Smith]

Do you realize that the cost of living where you live is much higher than other parts of the country?

:?:

 

[Farenheit251]

Mike, Is it true that you run your lift at 18-19" hg? Is there a noticeable difference from the recommended 16" to justify the risk?

 

[vincent]

Would your 2nd truck be a Vortex?

 

[cu]

ics most likley wont ask but if they did or cleanfaux would you write for them

 

[Mikey P]

1)..Where do you expect to see your company in the next 5 years ?

2)..Where do you expect to see your board in the next 5 years ?

3).. Taking in consideration the way the market is between the AT and Vortex..

and why..... (please remember you are still under oath)



I came in late and have not read everything so if they have been asked just answer the damn things again

1)Two maybe three trucks One of which I'll drive to do the mega high end touchy work.

2) It should be huge if we keep up at this pace. It just gets better and better. Hopefully we will start reaching those 70's guys and can really make a difference. If I dont get banned that is. if I do then who cares because I'll just start another one and kick it's ass too!

3) I would buy a Vortex and ask them to put in that AT blower. If they refused and couldn't find another way to shush that thing up then I would go with an AT

[quote="Steve Smith":23guf9u2]Do you realize that the cost of living where you live is much higher than other parts of the country?

:?:[/quote:23guf9u2]

Really? I had no idea.

 

[Mikey P]

ics most likley wont ask but if they did or cleanfaux would you write for them

Would I get a free ad each month?

 

[Mikey P]

Would your 2nd truck be a Vortex?

No.


Most likely a diesel van or sprinter with a slide in.

 

[Mikey P]

Mike, Is it true that you run your lift at 18-19" hg? Is there a noticeable difference from the recommended 16" to justify the risk?

Sure is! With my 2.5, Vanifold set up my wand screams like a pudgy football ref getting his special first communion in Father O'Flanerty's back room.


Is it a risk? Or do the TM companies just want to play it safe?

 

[Larry Cobb]

Mikey;

Good to see ya on the Hot Seat !

Where do you see SOA fitting in?

After seeing the presentation at Connections, CRI is going to be pushing it into the mainstream.

It's definitely a better solution than Green Seal.

I like that you're going into Tile & Grout more.

Larry

 

[truckmount girl]

If you were asked by a newbie with $10,000 to bankroll, what would be the best way to allocate their money to build a successful business, how would you advise them?

-What equipment to purchase?
-What marketing and business structure to invest in?
-What expenditures to avoid or delay?

Take care,
Lisa

 

[Mikey P]

Damn , can I keep up or what?


This is almost like a live chat!

 

[bob vawter]

ALRIGHT MIKEY...here yor big chance...admit to ever one how many times a week that you call me askin' for advice......GO ON!

 

[Mikey P]

Larry

Just like stain resistant warranties and the IICRC, 99.3 percent of the general public will never notice. Let alone give a damn.



So who cares.....
