Hi Guys
Far better would be for solutions to buy a rug cleaning machine and then we can all send them the dirty ones and put a markup on them to our customers?

Ian ,
I think one just outside the M25 might be more beneficial to us Essex Boys.

Sorry Doug ,that one went over my head ??? ??? ???

Hi Mark,
Ian's post was about sending rugs to Cornwall for cleaning ::)
Cheers,
Doug
-
Although JB says there are good Air routes to Cornwall, and that Allergy Stop Network will be more on an Area basis, I am supprised that Nick and John do not hire a facility for a couple of days in Essex to hold Allergy Stop training and promote Solutions UK
-
Thanks for clearing that one up for me Doug,Now can you explain Ians comments for me ,as that one is in the clouds .
cheers mark ??? ??? ??? ;D

Hi Guys
Doug, your a hard man to get info out off, please tell, where i can send rugs
Why has every one got this problem with distance? I would fly to the other side of the world if it would benifit me. I went to New York some time ago just to get info from a libary that could not be got in the UK. In 1999 i went to the Us to a Joe polish boot camp that changed the way I run a maid service, yes maid service.
We live in the information age. Information can be very powerful. It might be tech or marketing or any other. Lots of times its not what you learn when you attend. its the people you meet and their experances.
A take away rug service is a great add on to any cleaning business, and letting someone else take the risks. great. By taking the rug away it put extra value on the service and with that you can charge more.

Ian,
I was suggesting someone sets one up down here in good old Essex.
Mark,
I think Ian is saying as Johnny B is an Essex boy , he should set up a temporary training facility in sunny Essex.
Cheers
Doug
-
That is correct
;D ;D ;D
-
The rug cleaning course is a add to the Allerg-stop meeting that that had already been arranged at solutions u.k
cheers mark

Ive heard a whisper today that there are going to be more training courses coming soon from the Allergstop stables with JB ;)
Paul

I have noticed that Nick is probably the only supplier with possibly the exeption of Mike (after all it is his board) who acts on suggestions on the Forumns.
Not sure what JB s role is
Not that I am joining the fan club ;D ;D ;D

Ian, I think you'll find the problem with distance is the time involved getting there and cost. An obvious answer but you don't seem to know it. I could have saved you a fortune with a 14 hour pirate Jo Polish seminar in its entirety, and best of all you can watch it at home on your own and don't have to meet anybody.
You went to New York to get info from a library ::) ::) ;D ;D LMFAO ( I really am)

nice one garyj i am too lmfaf really !!! ;D
p.s forgot "respect" (now me sides are hurting !!)

LMFHO BIGITUP respect (now i am crying FOR REAL ) LOL

Over 40 members have already commited themselves to attending the Allerg-stop meeting on the 27th january and more to follow which is a fantastic turnout,hope the local pub can cope.
cheers mark

Dont forget if you go to the states on business you can claim the cost of your fare and hotel etc against tax.
I and probably other on this board receive details of Training Seminars, throughout The US.
Regarding watching JP Boot Camps at home
Lots of good info,
but for instance a talk on Tax only applies to US

Automated dialing
Hi this is Ian calling from ......................You have>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Call 0800 now
Im not sure what Im saying I think it is you need to be their and Network with these people. to get the full benifit
Oh I know that is the postive thing about groups such as Fastrack ProClean , NCCA ,the Allergy Stop Network and any others I might have missed.
It is also true of the Forums, but somtimes information has to be limited, as anyone including your arch local rival can read it.
Often organizations do not want all the information to be generraly known as it would affect the value of the product.
-
With due respect Ian i totally disagree with you,you Don't put a product on to the market and keep it to yourself and networking is about communicating and working together ,spaces are proberbly limited for the course, and flights seats are disappearing ,so iam just updating everybody theyso don't miss out as new members are joining all the time,and you might be one of them Ian. ;D ;D ;D

Hi Guys
It was a joke
But, I do think that if you are going to make rug cleaning part of a special service that you give to your clients then. Take away is the way to go, evan if you take it home or send it away you will be able to change more.
Two visits to the client, two chances to sell other services. plus they tell all their friend "we had to send our rug away to get it cleaned specially"
Just think about it, if you are going on a course then it must have some extra value as a service to your clients? And if JB is running it then you will be haveing the very best teacher in the UK.
You might write a sales letter with a photo of you and JB telling all your client base that you have just had the number one teacher in the UK teach you all there is to know about rugs and cleaning them.

Respect

I use m/s where possible .On silk rugs i use dry cleaning solvents,but would like to wet clean them as results are limited,ihave been shown how you clean silk rugs with solvents first and then wet clean them as this would prevent pile burst but i am still not confident enough to try this method,i would also like a magic wand to clean cotton fringes with ,as they are so time consuming.Hoping to learn a lot more from JB.
cheers mark

Hi Guys
What the best method for fringe's?
