ive turned down 3 jobs in 11 months of trading, that doesn't justify having a back up portable. on them stats it would take me 5 years to get my money back on a decent portable, and the speed of a truckmount means i can make up them jobs in a week. and i certainly don't mind passing them jobs on to porty guys.

portables are a great bit of kit but unless you live in a high rise area then a truckmount wins hands down, apart from price. but like i said they make up for that.

just my opinion, don't have a cow guys.

ps... i do agree with your statement about there being more occasions for tm's over portys but not enough to justify anything.

I would love a truckmount, but must admit it is a big investment. My porty does everything i require even eot cleans when my genny will run the machine.
Having seen all the talk on here about which is best. It is clear that TM have advantageds as do porty's. Its all down to budget at the end of the day....What you can afford at the time.
 At the mo my machine brushes as it cleans. using a wand does the pile come up?

I would love a TM too..... I couldn't actually justify owning one at present or indeed afford one

neighbours will remember.

As a rule of thumb, a customer or prospect wants a clean carpet. Most, but certainly not all, don't care about your tools or how big they are, whether they are controlled by a micro processor or by a steam generator with radial foo-foo valves.

I do get the occasions though where previous cleans by, for example, a national franchise didn't meet their expectations, so a brief description of the relevant systems (not tools).

IMO, to bring a truck mount into your marketing material is probably best served by references to the considerable capital investment into your business with the highest powered equipment available, which will enable you to gently clean a delicate oriental rug through to the heaviest soiled restaurant, pub or nightclub.

Just the thoughts of someone inexperienced in the world of direct marketing.

Safe and happy cleaning

If there were, don't you think Alltec would have exploited them to the hilt by now?

Sam's the one to watch out for, very charming and knowledgable. If I'd had 25k in my bank account, she would have had it from me for a fantastic TM set up with van : : :.
