you have obviousely never had to promote a succesful carpet cleaning bussines for 10 years plus, thousands of pounds, after thousands of pounds and so on, to keep yourself with 3/4 jobs per day every day, carpet and upholstery cleaners are in far less demand than decorators and plumbers etc. We pay more than any other tradesman to get our work, far , far more, our work can be seasonal, there are many peaks and troffs.I think you are being far to general in my opinion, i for one have been trading for 15 years, i have never had it easy as you say, it was really hard work back then, it is even harder now, mentally it can be a strain, phsically it is very hard on the body, to say that some have it easy and are paid over their worth is a bit ficcle, i have certainly never met any decorator, chippy, plumber, sparky, postman or road worker for that matter that works harder than i do, or my carpet cleaning friends do, most of the day is spent having f*g breaks, making a bloody mess, and cups of tea, completing a job to their own time scale, not the customers, i for one havent got time for that.
Speak for yourself but i most certainly dont agree with you.
as far as this is concerned.........................
I have to conclude, that, carpet cleaners have it easy and in many cases are getting paid well over their worth.
Obviously, many will disagree, but I'm talking about ; -
A fair price, for a simple service.
An hourly rate that reflects the work being done and obviously considers your overhead, although your overhead, is your responsibility and it's you who must control it.
i find that statement naive and laughable.
i believe you have run a bussiness or more than 1 in the past, how they could of been succesful with that attitude i will never know?
maybe your idea of succesful or self worth is different to mine or for that matter everyone elses.
