Title: Would the customers be impressed ??
Post by: Matthew JN on November 14, 2010, 08:49:06 pm
Hi all,

Just shortlisting a new vehicle for work. Have decided on a Porsche Cayenne.  With the rear seats folded my flat tank fits pefectly with room for all the other bits too, and its under payload.

Not sure about getting getting it sign written yet but do you think this will impress my customers  ;D

Try a stretch limo.  The poles will fit in that.

Impress your customers? I doubt it very much. How could such a thoroughly inappropriate vehicle impress them?

Its the standard of work you produce that will impress them not look like something out of wacky races.

From a business view point what are these cars 60k?

Well that's probably more than your annual tunover, working out of that you couldn't hit it even if you had the work, so most probably customers would be puzzled.They might think you had a better business and the wcing was a front.

forgot to say that i dont actually clean myself, i have staff.

but would still knock on a door to collect or go quote a new job in it, its only a car!

Hmmm, interesting way of doing it.
I have a van and don`t clean but all my staff have Ferraris. 
It`s good to hear other methods though.

if your serious then is it coz u want it for dual purposes - ie work and leisure??

seems a wicked waste of money if its just for work when you could go for top of the range oick up truck if you wanted something other than a van - as its classed as commercial it would be miles cheaper on every level than a cayenne.

mits have recently launced a v6 or v8 that boasts shed loads of toys and power

You can do one of two things:

1) Poll your customers and see what they think.
2) Buy the thing and await their reaction.

These obsessions of ours are expensive white elephants sometimes aren't they easy clean? 12 plugs in my Merlin Spitfire Engine and an oil change and I need to work for a week to pay the technician!

You could buy a good secondhand Aston for that and have a real car. Porsches are for hairdressers, oh yeah and forum moderators.

One thing I've learnt is jealousy will not get you anywhere! I am not jealous of anybody, if I want something I work for it! You don't know me but I'm gonna spend 5 minutes only telling you about me. I gave up a very well paid job 5 years ago to start up my cleaning business from scratch. I set myself what people say to be unrealistic goals and strive to achieve them. I wanted to earn a very high salary, have more time to spend with my parents. By 30 I had practically retired as wanted but unfortunately hadn't purchased the Ferrari I'd always wanted as a child. This came 6 months later and trust me that annoys the poop out of me and I have to live with this! It was tha first and last goal I will never deliver on schedule! Anyway your time is up but please in future don't waste our time by posting utter rubbish, try to be a bit more productive withh your time and help others.

Wow! Where did that rant come from?  ???
