Ian
have you seen Lee's stuff or are you just singing his tune ?.
And how do you know the stuff on ebay is no good.

Have you tried fast track????

For a Mod you should qualify your statements.

Lee has been around for years.  Drives a large truckmount so the chances are he has got it right.
.


People often want marketing advise and this could be a good source.

I cant recall mentioning Fast Track although I do believe there is a Mini Marketing Kit for sale on ebay.


I have no vested interest in the Sale of any Carpet Cleaning products

Over the Years I have spent considerable sum on Marketing Materials and systems from this country and the US.

Hello Lee regarding the CD  is it of any use to a porty user? If so will it be cheaper say £12.50 ;)

If you dont ask you dont get.

Lee has 2 truckmounts and as you say has been around a while and is very good at his job.
But this is not what I asked you.
With out seing Lee's stuff how do you know it is good?
And with not knowing about the stuff on ebay or the fast track stuff, how can you make a statement that its no good?
How much have  you actually invested over the years in Marketing ( I mean buying marketing ideas not in terms of putting out leaflets or news ads etc)
And what have you actually bought?

Please share your experiences.

you sell stuff on e bay then paul, it seems your campioning it,  i think ians referring to the general get rich quick trash on e bay, not fast track.

i for one would agree with him.

Im campioning nothing  ;D
Just want Ian to expand on this statements.
Its ok saying this is good or this is bad, im not saying he is right or wrong.
I would just like to know the reasoning behind what he says.
He may know something we dont  ;)

im with you, maybe hes just his mate,

  i guess if lee is known (i dont know him) to have been in bus. for a long time and done ok its got to have some good valuable content, has nt it?

or may be hes made it to pay off his debts after 14 yrs c/c !   lol ;D

Paul,

My views on the stuff on Ebay are shared by others on this Forum.


I have spent £850.50 this year on marketing stuff. 2005

I did not say I do not know about Fast track.  

But i am not prepared to tell you what i do know,about it.

Robert Saunders Gave away the  Free Parts of the mini Marketing Kit i think in 2003 the 9 parts were available at £30 a month.

He made a similiar offer to members of this board in 2005

But i know much  much more than that.


I have spent my life in marketing. I bought my First marketing Course in 1966.

I Studied marketing as part of my HND  in the 1970s



I learnt about Cleaning Audits in 1970s



All  I am saying is that Lee has knowledge that he is prepared to pass on.

Lee is not my mate, if I am honest i used to get sick of his truckmount is better than a portable on Cleantalk.

I am a little puzzled why you should be so concerned .  Although I notice you are a consistant Ebay Trader as your recent posts have been about Cleaning Equipment you have been selling.

ian,

               you talk about fast track as many others, make it sound a big mistery, secrets that cost lots to buy,

i dont get that,  its there for all to see, just look at the fastrackers  "4 reasons to pick me"  "the most thorough etc."  comsumer advice lines, newsletters,

does that really have to be bought, i think i could do fastrack on my own.

i dont think theres much more to it than the above.

oh and i thought of buying that mini coauching fastrack on e bay but its going for silly money now, but i think i got a pretty good idea of what it would tell me to do anyway.

oh and this marketing joe polish stuff, you do realise he uses it on you to then sell it to you. with me?

Post by: Ian Gourlay on February 14, 2006, 11:22:40 pm
Craig,

I did not say you need to do FastTrack to know about it.

I know about it ,but did not join it if you follow.

But like a Certain Network if you do not in Fasttrack you cannot bounce ideas off one another.

Another point you have to work the statergiesand these take time.

Ideally I would like to bounce Marketing idea on this forum.#

But we  would run into difficulties because it is an open Forum.


For instance there are two people who look in on this Forum but rarely contribute who live in my area who have started or plan to start in Carpet Cleaning


I read loads of ideas


 on an email yesterday which would have come from Fast track


Title: Re: bommer marketing cd
Post by: craigp on February 14, 2006, 11:36:15 pm
interesting, i have to say i do wonder how you know of these people thinking of starting c/c, ??? maybe im inadvertently learning fast track as i have found it intreging, i think i might start keeping what i learn close to my self.  as i think the c/c market is saturated, iv looked on tompson recently for ideas on ads and was struck buy how many there are in every city all after the same work! theres millions!

thing about some of them fast track ideas they do seem to create work, like news letters, letters, i d dont like the idea of my life becoming a paper work nightmare and the cost!

Craig,

Iwatch everypost I check who been on line I check location.


I do think it is a weakness of Forums that we cannot discuss Marketing openly.

Thats why I did highlight the Boomer CD to help anyone looking for ideas.


Regarfing the Paperwork and getting the systems going.

Find the time, have your letters ready etc.

Do not forget that the Complete Fastrack is also about how to Clean

And gets you qualified

My concern about the Joe Polish CD, Jay Abrams etc is I doubt if the person owns the

Copyright. which I believe belongs to Consant Nightingale  Notice I said Doubt.

The letters may have been re written but the one I purchased CleanSmart Cleaning Supplies was giving away a similiar one for Free.


On the Mini Marketing Kit I hope they are getting more than Three Parts as again they were for Free . Is there phone Seminar CDs tapes included?

Also similiar to information covered at Fast Track Awareness days

It does work I use things from all sorts of marketing ideas including Fast track,

I try to spend at least 1 1/2 hours a night getting things out to regular customers, I do it whilst watching telly, better than just sitting their eating.

Its just a habit you have to get into and it works really well once you get into it.

Even better get the wife to do it and she will ralise that you do work more than 5 hours a day.

As most of you know, I love all this marketing stuff and have collected all of them over the years. It just fascinates how when I help my girlfriend sell on ebay and her webshop how changing a few words can increase sales.
I've been selling loads on ebay since Friday using a technique thats been around for over 50 years.

The biggest problem I have with this Bommer so far is:-
Its been posted across all forums and I've replied on two of them, for what he is selling it for I thought I might as well buy one even if it isn't what I want ,I'm sure I'd learn something.

But I still have not received a reply.

I have known this was coming out for a couple of months, and was looking forward to it, even though I was told very early on it was a wind up!! It looks genuine now though, even if the advert for the system itself is very poorly written I was prepared to overlook that to.

But this does beg the question, how can you hope to sell a marketing package of all things and not even bother turning up on line to reply to the questions asked.

Craig I'd love to see your advert and give you my thoughts and maybe even help you tweak it. And I'll reply in a short time. THATS service.

I live in the Kings Lynn area and am starting up carpet cleaning (maybe im 1 of the 2 Ian), i dont post very often, the main reason being that i feel that people who have been in the business for a while are much better qualified to answer on a lot of the threads than me,i am however more than capable of working out my own marketing and finding what works for me, i understand that sharing marketing ideas with others in the same industry living/ working close by is not good business, but then when any business puts out flyers, ads in publications etc it is plain for most of the world to see,i personally wouldnt copy a competiters advert,price,customer insentive scheme etc as to me thats just following the herd, far better i think to look outside the box and come up with something unusual/original and try it on a small scale to see if it works, if it doesnt then back to the drawing board,another angle of looking at it is "whats the competition?" i have read in a lot of places that only 20% of carpets across the country are ever cleaned,rather than worry about what others are doing id be more interested in finding out how i could tap even 1% of the local market in carpets that dont ever get touched, now theres a challenge!!!

                                        thinking for myself, Andy

anybody wanting more info on the bommer marketing can contact me .

i have placed my phone number on the first post.

i placed my phone number there for a reason,so i can be contacted.

the cd has tips,forms ,adverts,the adverts have been sent to different carpet cleaners around the uk so i can get feed back from a much larger area,the feed back was so good i decided to inc the ad on the cd.

like i say the cd will not make you rich but will bring in more work

gary

i am not doing this to a lot of money,i enjoy testing different marketing systems.


if you dont want the cd thats fine i have orders for 32 cd ,far more than i expected.

i will carry on using the tips & info & making money.

having sent out a few sample adverts for people to use may not really count but after 3 years of sending out the adverts these people still use the same ad.

so in my mind its a good thing.

if you want to plod along earning less than 5k per month then go for it.
other cleaners want to make a better life for them & their families,live in a nice house,drive 2 nice cars,have private health care for all the family,take a few holidays per year.

not wondering, when the phone will ring,scrimping & scraping month to month,hoping when it gets to march things will pick up,droping their prices just to clinch that lounge hall stairs & landing carpet job, from mrs jones.


not me
