Pain in the backside are telesales I think they just have yell.com on infront of them as I got 2 calls from the same guy within 2 minutes as I'm in 2 towns.

My sales are down from last year because last year I had 2 big jobs on and a heavy tax bill to pay for so worked 6 days a week all Jan.

Still had a good month this year though I have worked 5 full days everyday since 4th Jan.

Id say most carpet cleaners are happy with £1000 a week in turnover.  So thats 2-3 days work for most.  Id say very few ever excell above that.

For me a busy week is 5 days.  My news years res. is to try and work 4 with the fifth in the office.

i Had the Google call the other day, i don't have a website.
I was told they would gaurantee my name on page one of
carpet cleaners Malvern. I pointed out that i was already 3rd
on that search, so he switched to Worcester, he claimed it was
searched 2000 times a week, and they could Gaurantee that i
got nearly all the calls.
My reply was if you can gaurantee that, then i will sign up for free,
and if 12 months later it was true i would pay double. He didn't
seem to like that approach.
My missus wa p***ing herself as he didn't stop for breath, just kept
on going and couldn't believe i didn't want all that work.
They really think we're stupid don't they.

These telesales calls can be good sport until I remember all calls are forwarded to my mobile and i'm paying for it  >:(. And yes they are using yell.com because the chap who could build me a 'wow' of a website told me I advertised there. Do yell or yellow pages sell our details to these.... PEOPLE!

Oh and i'm down a tad on last year and only 2 new clients others all regulars or referrals.

On the plus side i've paid the tax man in advance for work I have not done yet. I love January!
