a local fast tracker to me claims to be

'the most qualified carpet cleaner in the south west'

hes not, only, NCCA and IICR plenty others equal that.

Craigp. You are missing the point completely. The Fastracker you mention does not care that some others may be just as qualified. He is just marketing his business. He wouldn't worry if you claimed the same, he would just tell his clients that he was. There is nothing wrong with this as long as he is fulfilling client expectations. Large companies all do this. Who is correct is just academic and depends on peoples own perception. There is no right or wrong. Have you not seen an ad for a car or similar that claimed to be the most powerful/fastest etc. Regards Martin

Hi Guys,

Most qualified is so vague a statement that it's almost meaningless.

Say someone has NCCA and IICRC is he better qualified than someone who has Chemistry and Physics A levels ? I don't think so 

From what I have gleaned from talking to the fast track lads , the fundamentals are lots of advertising every week , high prices and determination to stick with it .

Cheers

Doug

well done doug, i think you summed up in a few words what every one else has

been trying to say

Each carpet cleaner has his own way of going about his job and not all are the

same,  some aim for the big spenders and some want a steady flow of just the

average spender, personally i think you can have a good earning from either,

and it does depend on the area you live in and the kind of life/work balance you

want also

It would be good to get back to the fundamentals of carpet cleaning instead of

each saying their way is best.

Surely it, doesn't do for all to be the same anyhow???
