Hey Jay!
Did you get any work from the storms? I came close to calling you for help with all the flooding on the shoreline.
If you ever need any help, just give us a call.
It's going to rain all week again :shock:
Hi Al, no not too much on the flood front. I don't do to much with WDR. Thanks for the offer...I did send a customer your way I *think* last week. We were booked solid for the week and she needed something before the weekend. I get calls from the lower CT River Valley and unless it's a reall big job, it's just too far for me...I'll start sending more your way. :wink:

Hi Jay,
Now you know how Luke Skywalker felt when he came over to the dark side. Welcome.
Well Mikey sent me this spam and I couldn't resist:

Glad you came over to Mikeysboard Jay. As you must realize the life experiences of us Connecticutians make us better cleaners and advice givers than the southern rednecks and west coast hippies that also post here.
Hey what's up! Good see another cleaner in CT! I get leads down in FFC from time to time. I've only been taking the big stone/tile resto jobs so perhaps we can talk more about sharing some work!

Hey Jay!
We are doing lower cost higher volume work these days
These days..
May I ask what you what were you doing different 2 years ago?
How many trucks/employees do you run?
Do you get out on the truck?
What is your best form of marketing these days?
Have I offended you in the past?
What is your favorite Pre Spray?
Don find Marty humorous or pitiful?
Two years ago I was just getting this operation going. I was focusing more on large ticket cleanings, we made good money but it was not as consistent. The big tickets slowed down this Spring so I decided to try a new marketing approach and put together some packages for $99.00, $149, $279 etc and they are working fantastic! Not many just do the straight "$99.00 deal". Most say I'll take X for $99 and while your here do Y for $99 too. After some basic add on's the ticket is at $250.00.
We are averaging about $3500.00 a week consistently. Some may scoff at that, but it's a good living for a one truck two guy operation IMO. (You answer to #2 is in there if you pay attention.

)
I'm always on the truck and will be until the old bones say no more. I have a mobile office with laptop, printer, smartphone etc all tied into the office in real time so I do double duty out on the road.
Only your oder has offended me...well, maybe the fact that you enjoy guys having your tattoo on them. :mrgreen:
I'm on a Procyon Soap Free kick right now. I think I like MB version better though. Sometimes a shot of citrus solve if needed.
The only Marty I know is missing his front teeth and has a prison record...something about young children, I didn't pay attention to the details. Does that fit the description?

Jay,
this is a Joe Polish friendly board. Most here love the guy.
That makes sense why there are so many BDCC's here then! :mrgreen: :wink:
