I would say that these votes were made BY porty owners. If I'm wrong who are they ?

When I can't get access I use a Scorpion (as a portable). Its the most powerful portable machine I could find.

I reckon I am now limited to 50 % of jobs I can access with a TM.  The parking wardens have toughened up considerably since I got a TM 9 years ago.

Which areas are you working in and what machines are you using.

Hi Nigel
I am not involved in carpet cleaning in a big way any more .now I only  get involved
 in comercial window cleaning (i find the profits are more substantial)
the parking wardens are a real  pain thats why i asked about truckmounts and parking close to the job you are working on

Neil, are you saying you dont do anymore than 2 jobs per day except Xmas, yet you still earn about £400 per day average with a portable.

So everyday you get top high quality work and never a day where its one room here & there and you keep this up everyday.

I am seriously doing somthing wrong here!

By the way I am astonished 6 people regret moving up to a TM from a portable, I would love those people to give their reasons why.

I too am interested to find out how somebody who only does 2 jobs per day can earn 350-500 per day. Perhaps you could enlighten us. Thanks

I've been luck enough to find someone that gets most of my work for me. This college of mine runs her own tradesman broocker business where she finds tradespeople for her high end clients, peolpe that live in areas such as Virginia Water, Ascot and Wenthworth area's of Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire were the average house price is very high.

She takes 25% of all the jobs that I get from her. When I used to quote these jobs I did not get as much, I showed Clare what I did and she then decided to do the quoteing on her own with the aid of my presentation package increasing my average Job level by at least 30%.

She sells better than me and sells protector with every job. Women are much better at sales than I am.

This is just something that I fell into but it works and I'm going to ride this wave as long as possible.

I see no one has own up to saying they hate the TM,
Why?
If it is portys that tick this hate box, then they should ask themselves why they did this.
