Nobody on cleantalk is told what to do either!

Anyway I think we have done the situation to death in recent times, let's move on.....

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

I remember a few years back a certain person said they would never use a certain product from a certain supplier because it contained enzymes, then another product that had enzymes in from another supplier came onto the market and the certain person was one of the first to use it and say how good it is.

Things aren't always as black and white as they seem and some people have short memories where as others are like elephants!

That’s unfair seeing my name posted and calling me an elephant

What gets me is operators slagging off a supplier that they have never even dealt with, simply going off what others have said, and have obviously been influenced by.
I take as I find, according to my own experience not someone elses. I will try things by suppliers on the recommendation of someone I know, or a product I like the sound of, but I use my own judgment as to what I think about it.
Operators who blindly following one supplier like they are members of their family and criticise all others need to seriously reposition their loyalties.
Suppliers, all of them, are out to make money, out of all of us. If one of us went bust tomorrow, no matter how much we had supported a supplier, they wouldn't shed any tears, they would just get on with their business.
We are only well thought off by suppliers as long as we are doing business with them, end of story.

Can't agree with that Dave, Nick went under at Solutions but was John Gotts managed to rekindle the company how many would be able to just move on to another supplier based on the more unique products he sells?

................. just move on to another supplier based on the more unique products he sells?

Shaun

It is easy to believe suppliers have 'unique' products.   The name might be 'unique' but with a little bit of research you can always find someone else who produces or can produce , if not the exact alternative, then certainly something that works to the same extent (& sometimes even better)

[Shaun_Ashmore]

May be or may be that they market them better but if solutions were to have gone there would have been a big hole in the online community speciality products market to fill.
