National contract - can anyone help?
« on: June 22, 2004, 06:24:42 pm »
Hi

We have a customer who we supply cleaning materials to on a national basis. They have 340 branches and are looking for a company to deal with the carpet cleaning requirements for them.

Do we have any members who can cover large areas of the UK who may be interested in quoting?

Ideally they'd like a single company to deal with it all but I'm happy to forward details of anyone who may be able to help in certain regions.

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike

Do they have branches in Northern Ireland? If so I can pass this on to a contract cleaner who would be fit to cover this region.

Terry you the fastest window cleaner but carpets????

Mike one carpet cleaning company covering the UK? Why not take the contract on yourself and sub it that’s what every one else dose!

I would love to put my self forwards but I would need to know  a lot more details on customers requirements and locations,  like is it hws, lm etc

I would also question some who posted example dave555 now a cross dresser have a snap shot of profile,

Joking apart it could be done.

has anyone actually put any thought into this post?

what are you expecting Mike to do, give this large blue chip company a list of names saying

Pete from leeds can do yorkshire, John from derby can do the Midlands, Joe from London can do the Home counties... etc

I apoligise if  I sound a little insulting but I hope anyone who has put their name forward has sent Mike a private message with a full company profile.

how can he put forward a company with just a first name.

When I posted my offer I was actually waiting for Mike to reply. It did not state that we were meant to send a private message.

Hi Guys

Sorry, I've been offline for a while.

We actually got the consumable business from them because, amongst other things, they wanted one supplier that could deal with all the branches and send a single invoice once a month. Unfortunately, I'm sure they'll want the same with the carpet cleaning.

I've got a couple of instant messages from a couple of people who can do nationwide coverage and we'll try that approach first.

Can anyone tell me if a franchise like Chem-Dry would actually manage a national contract at head office level (including invoicing) and then distribute the work amongst it's franchisees or are they all run entirely independently?

Are there many national carpet cleaners about?

Regards

Mike
