Buy them the Wii fit and you use it problem solved, unless you buy them some Stella and tell them that they are too young to drink it and you will have to confiscate it.

How exactly did this generate from carpet cleaning customer data base to some poxy computer game.  >:(
I was quick enough to put the link address into favorites before (and I knew it would happen) the mods on here decided it wasn't CIU only material.

Hello: There is a universe outside of this forum and amazingly there are other forums too.

Read this quick no doubt it will be no more soon :o

Ok, sorry for the delay!

We have finally developed our radical, innovative & tailored piece of kit, which I absolutely guarantee will help all CC businesses whether you’re a new start or a well established outfit.

I hope this thread will not get deleted by the way, and would appeal to the mod’s to read on…

The reason I say this is because we have developed a database marketing software package called Cleaners Mate specifically designed for carpet cleaners. We have worked long and hard with this and feel that it will benefit ALL CC’s hugely in terms of much more profit and easier running of their businesses. Briefly it contains a client database, a completely unique mail merge system that will blow your mind – which is not available on any other software on this planet. There is also invoicing, Quotations, and amazing Reports that will transform the way you run your business. Talking about it just wont do it justice, it really needs to be seen.

I’m not going to drone on and on about it but suffice to say I guarantee that this will dramatically make your business more profitable, more efficient and give you more free time. We have been using it for a while now and it has boosted our business immensely. This is not a ‘modified’ bit of kit by the way, it has been completely designed by us – Carpet Cleaners.

Guys, some of you know me, some don’t. I am very passionate about this industry, honest and ethical, and I believe if we all did our marketing correctly, all our businesses would be far better off. This is why the capabilities of this Carpet Cleaning Database is so good, it really has to be tried to be believed.

Cheers all

Kev

p.s. if you can mange it try and read every page, as at the end of it you will completely understand why this system will change your business for the better.

p.p.s. If anyone wants to speak to me the number is on the web link above.

I know I rarely post on here these days but have to say that this piece of
kit can develop many from being just a good carpet cleaner into someone thata is running a very well oiled business. For me, this is as good as fastrack without the gimmicks.

Kev,

I have just downloaded the software and given it a quick work out. I have to say I am incredibly impressed. It is very stable and seems to have most of the features a small carpet cleaning business would require. I would recommend that everybody has a look and uses the trial version.

Very well priced too for a specialised piece of software.

I am using business contact manager for outlook in conjunction with Microsoft Accounting which gives me more functionality but it has taken alot of effort to tailor it to my requirements. The beauty of this package is that you can download it and start using it within an hour.

Well done Kev - I hope it is a great success.

Nigel

Agree with Nigel,  Kev is the king of SEO in Herts with various incarnations of his sites No1 for loads of search terms.

My wife has a system she is used to but i will run this by her. Cheap price for a tailored software package and i am sure if used correctly very powerful.

Nice one Kev how long did it take to develop?

Kev,

Just had a good go over the site and it looks good, but i think if you add some webpage templates and SEO tips along with some marketing stratigies you will be able to take on the big boys and you will NEVER raise a wand in anger again..

Good Luck and i hope takes off big style...

Guys

I thank you all ever so much for your kind words, it is appreciated.

You know what it's like, we were running our business and got completely fed up trying to do it properly. We spent a fair bit of money trying different databases but none of them worked, they each had there place but found duplicating details was a pain.

Which is why we did what we did. Especially the mail merging. It could take us a whole weekend to sort out but now it's done in half an hour. We are better off for it and now spend much more time as a family. It sounds corny but it's true!

I'm also saving a fair bit of money because it tells me where I'm wasting my money, and where to put even more money to give even greater profits. If someone else had done this I would have bought it in a flash.

I know anyone will benefit from it, and I would like to hear of all the success stories after using it for a while.

Once again thanks, and if anyone wants to chat about it then please call me

Good luck

Kev

Hi Derek

You can only e mail the the integrated system quotations or invoices - it's impossible to do it any other way. There is no way of bringing in an outside 'sheet' so to speak, because the system also uses info from the invoice/quote to run the reports.

Hope that makes sense!
