so why not book them to do all your work, collect the money off your punters, and pay these guys £30 a time, they get the work so they are happy, punters get carpets clean ish so they happy ish.....

You get loads of money for getting them both together.......

every one's a winner.......  ;D

Tempted to call and ask what they would ask for a clean & protect with Scothguard.

My accent would be a give away straight off though.

Ive already rung. Says he uses an Extracta BX. Now after 27 years in the trade you'd have thought he'd have at least an Excel!

No from and to dates for special offer, so that is the bait to get people to call. Very easy to then say "oh that special offer has ended now or we are fully scheduled on that offer, but we do have another that may suit you"......" when can we come and give you a quote? :)

I think we have to accept that some people can and will work for these prices, if all they need is enough money to put food on the table and pay a few bills.... Even with a BX they, could still leave a happy and satisfied customer, just as much as the next C/C with his shiny TM charging 4 times as much.

Ask yourself, how low would you really go if it meant not letting your kids or yourself go hungry?

It will get worse before it gets better....
