Proclean. Fast Track. D.I.Y. Business Link or A.n. other. Martin

Hello,

Have only had experience of Proclean but have no reservations in recommending them.
As Jacko said, give DJ a ring.

what exactly do you need coaching in? What do you want to learn from these marketing salesmen?

I'd go along the lines of getting all the FREE help i can from all the enterprise agencies,

but if you're running a successfull company you already know most of the knowledge you need

...But if you're not running a successful company and you need to get one off the ground PDQ, a business building programme is an answer.

Ive got the Joe Polish manual in front of me right now and all that is in it is common sense.  You will also get most of it from the USA boards.

If like me you are lazy then youll not grow beyond natural growth.  I'm going to set myself a goal of giving one half day a fortnight to generating new business.  I reckon if you do this too then youll have saved £3000 and have the increased work you desire.

Yes, once you've a foot on the ladder finding new customers should be fairly straightforward. However, if the cleaning industry is brand new and it's crunch time why not pay for advice/ coaching, whatever you want to call it, it's bloody hard work whichever way you make a business successful. Of the few that make success, they all get there by slightly different means.

Carpetmass,

Does '35 years on' relate to your age or yours 'years in the game'.

If the latter I d'ont suppose there's much you d'ont already know.

Cheers,

Doug
