today will se my best january ever, not that its hard to beat my januarys cos there the worst month of the year for me. but to beat last years by the 21st is good news and leaves me optimistic for the rest of the year.
anyone else feeling this year is gonna be a gooden?
i won't hold my breath ;D
-
Must admit better than last January
-
doubled year 1 s jan last year and doubled year twos jan already this year so no complaints here and feb is getting busier all the time
-
I've been pleasantly surprised so far, certainly an improvement on last year! But I won't count my chickens! You can't possibly envisage how it will pan out for the rest of the year, unless you've got the balls of course, the crystal type I mean :D
-
Same here amazed how busy we are?? I think that the second half of last year was full of cuts this cuts that and then the media where like a dog with a bone going on about the vat increase. People may have realised that it was all a fuss about nothing!
And nice weather (why did I say that?)

I have more work booked in for Jan and feb than I turned over for the whole of 2010, when it comes in I can pay all my debts :)

Derek the macie d,s are on you mate ;D

I'm having a great January and was beating last January's total by Wednesday.
-
Dont want to put a damper on it but the snow killed it last jan just like dec so i think the majority of us will be up on last jan. Anyway take no notice of my negativity think glass half full and all that its going to be a belter of a year ;D
Anyway i am going in for a hernia op on 31st jan ::) Where all doomed :-[ thats better back to being negative ;)

Getting a lot of EOT calls think most of Sheffield must be moving from one side to the other at this rate it'll be top heavy! Can't complain on work coming in as I'm starting at 8 or 8.30 and getting in 3-4 so they're nice days for wimps ;D
Went on a really good course down at Cleansmart Nottingham today, Derek Bolton ran the spot and stain course I really enjoyed it, don't usually get time to go on these courses so I feel empowered for doing it, we had a go with the Sapphire Systems upholstery tool it's like a cross between the CFR and Drimaster and it did dry fabrics quicker but I have some reservations about it though.

What reservations Shaun??
My Drymaster is getting tatty and can't decide which of the 3.

The water flows through small holes at the front lip of the tool the new one I used 2 of the holes were blocked and that's a new tool ! saying that it could be something still left in from manufacture and just needed a clean out, I'd say it was better than a drimaster 1 or 2 but not as well made as a CFR but it did dry fabrics faster.

Hi
Top man Mr Bolton really know his onions.
Dave
-
Not you again!
Shaun

and long may it continue!
-
We have another 10 days still so might end up being a good month for us all :)
-
Although cold the sun has been shining and the phone has been ringing incessantly, like the good old days.
-
think ive nailed a commercial, (there rare in the affordable house hold) they rang for my bank details today to put me on the system, woop woop. ;D
-
This commercial that needs bank details. It does not belong to a man in the Ministry of Finance who needs to pass several million through your account, with a 15% commission to you? ;D

Derek
Well done mate ;D
what do you think you have done that makes it so?
was it something you done this month or maybe over that last year?
do you think that whatever "it" is you have control over it?
I know these question sound heavy but having control over outcomes and being able to repeat them means you can then take your, and i will not call it good luck, skill to the next level.
Respect

yeah gary, thats the one. ;D
ian, can't say for sure but its the first time i put a link on the quote to one of my videos on how we clean, maybe that swung it, or maybe not. either way its going on again next time all though i might take the vaccing out, my mate was to busy playing with the door than vaccing the carpet. ;D
-
A link to your quote is a fantastic idea but you have to get the original contact first and that's where you are winning, you may be getting the illusive advertising blend right ! where abouts are your calls coming from the most? (please don't say customers ;D)
My advertising works 2 fold as many customers will look for me where they originally found me YP, internet customers tend to be new enquiries and once they've had you they tend to repeat the process with a business card which is kept infact alot put my number in their phone but that's a different breed.
Shaun

Good idea derek with the link.
That might have won the job after some thinking and maybe it gave you an edge over any other qoutes ???
