Did I mention that Full Circle is more than just an answering service?

I think SFS has done a lot for the average carpet cleaner. Remember that suppliers and trade associations have always tried to get cleaners to attend business related courses and get little interest, so a course like this is worth the price of admission. At least they're not trying to get you to purchase additional packages and long-term maintenance plans.
Steve is correct in that even with a portfolio loss many or most of our customers can still afford to buy anything they want. Terry is correct in that the major amount of investment money is sitting in people's pockets for reasons other than emotion.
If you have millions to invest, why invest now? Interest rates are being held to artificially low levels, so you won't get much return. The investment in a business or building is also risky due to the current invasive government practices. The idea behind low interest rates is to get people to buy on credit, but the people with money to loan are keeping it in their pockets and waiting for the next administration and a better return on their money.
PS: Ken, the folks at SFS are noteworthy for their lack of slime. There are plenty of bad people taking advantage of others in this industry.

LET ME BE REAL CLEAR HOW I FEEL ABOUT SFS AND THOSE WHO PUT IT ON!
Chuck V- never met him before SFS. knew of him through a friend who he had as a client. He gave some great info that has helped me everyday in my biz. i KNOW my CODB and when i bid a job it's nice to know that i won't be working for free or close to it.
Steve T- never met him before SFS. have read his articals in ICS and had been loaned some tapes on his VAS. He has done a great jobs of putting a program together that is a positive moment of truth for our industry. IMO passive sales are made at SFS. thats not a bad thing and it's normally at a discount to attendee's!
Bill Y- i've known Bill for probably 12-15yrs. he has more practical experence in this biz than about 99.9% of folks involved. His knowledge of everything textile is unmached. The knowlegde he's sharing about marketing could carry a cleaning biz along way.
PS he could be an F1 driver if he ever leaves us BDCC behind (ask him about the drive down from Rocky Mt Nat'l Park).
PPS if you haven't gone to SFS, consider it, it's a good investment and the presenters are there to help improve your biz as much as you want it improved.

lack of sales in a down economy for a family owned company who could use a trip to SFS to build systems into there biz is what happened! :shock:
so you didn't get fired you just stopped selling?
I have no problem with our down economy, people still need the product it depends on the person selling it. Pick up your SFS book and try again. I hope you're doing okay since you didn't make it in the cleaning industry last time. Keep the family fed

Gee, I think Danny is right. How rude of SFS to not test the mattress' and make recommendations about where to stay. And he did not get a gas voucher? That's not right. And they only served one meal a day; how is fella supposed to live on that. Yeah, copying the copyrighted manual is just what they deserve.

Ps I would not put that in writing if I were you, but on the other hand they don't seem vindictive.
