Am i doing something wrong here,my phone has not rang for ages (apart from people wanting me to advertise in their 'charity magazines' to help children / the elderly / war victims / cancer patients / third world nations etc).

Hopefully things will pick up for you soon however in the mean time get some flyers through doors and in everyshop notice board in your area. This has proved to be our best form of marketing along with referals (contact any past customers and ask if they need any repeat work done or do they know anyone who does).

If you get any small local jobs you dont have time for I would be more than grateful. 

[BDCS]

Most of my work is drains but in the last week I had pressure washing, guttering, windows and even a undisclosed death! Pressure washable, if I were you I'd buff the website up a bit

[Alan McTernan]

Sorry to hear that,

How long have you been trading? How much do you advertise? Do you have a database of existing customers as i send out mail shots every so often with different offers for them and family!!!

As with CSCS cards i am in the process of sorting out the paper work to get my guys on a goverment funded course (NVQ in High Pressure Jetting)(i think) found out about it from a customer who works at a local college!!

Hope this helps
Good Luck
Regards Alan

Sorry lost me

Its Free and it gets us CSCS cards(am i missing something?(

[Rob_Mac]

I thought it was separate to the CSCS card, something else!!!

Rob

[Alan McTernan]

Not sure!!

To tell you the truth it is not top of my list of priorities

So please enlighten me as to getting a CSCS card as thought you needed to have/prove qualifications!!

Regards
Alan

[Rob_Mac]

In your response you stated that you are in the process of sorting out the paperwork to get them on a government funded course (a NVQ in high pressure jetting).

I presumed that you were sending them on a course to have a qualification in pressure washing. That would be something different to the CSCS card.

It was only a question to see how (if it was a different course) you felt it would benefit your business.

I know how getting a CSCS card benefited my business but I don't have an NVQ in pressure washing.

No trick question!!!!

Rob

[Alan McTernan]

Like i said please enlighten me as i don't have one and thought you needed more than a knowledge in PW!!!

No trick question!!!!!

Alan

[Rob_Mac]

Jeez Alan

This is getting hard work!!! Right you are going on a government funded training course that will get you a CSCS card at the end of it - is that right??

I have never heard of it being done that way.

I understood that CSCS cards were an independent organisation. When I got my CSCS card there was no NVQ qualification attached to it.

Rob

[Alan McTernan]

As with this NVQ you get qualified which proves you are competant in PW so you are then able to get a CSCS card!!! (or thats what i thought :

And it is only hard work between 9-5

[Rob_Mac]

You do know you can get a CSCS card without going through the NVQ.
