Title: Guys please BEWARE!
Post by: MAX Carpets on July 31, 2013, 10:16:05 pm
Hi All

I'll try and keep it short but if you want the full story mail me and i will explain

There is a company starting up called Momentum Carpet cleaning, they are trying to run a web based, online quote system and then sub work out to carpet cleaners throughout the UK.

I know others do this with some success. My problem with this lot is they know absolutely nothing about carpet cleaning, not a thing!

They tried to get me on board, I went along with them for a while until I realised this will do more harm than good and I do not want my Company name associated with them.

I am sure one by one they will contact you and offer you some work. Just be warned, these people are sales people and no nothing about our industry

Cheers!

Justin

Justin, you can't stop it there will always be carpet cleaners needing work, it's just more competition, there will always be a flood of competition.

I think all these web based quotation sites are crap... Always seem to be run by people who have no idea who just want to get rich quick off the back of some poor sod.

Not trying to stop it, just a heads up that when they contact you offering work, you will know who you are talking to. As I said these are great sales people, nearly sucked me in.

Coach broking is there thing. Its a long story how they ended up giving this a go. One of there staff used to work for me and he filled the bosses head with how easy it will be?????????

The boss is very confident he can get carpet cleaning companies to work for him at these rates?????

He reckons he can take 20% deposit off customer upon booking...........doubt it

Then CC gets the remaing after job.

So if you're really lucky you could do a lounge carpet for all of £20!!! unless it is empty or an estate agent, they get an extra 10% discount WTF????
