The mind boggles

Just had a look on their website and amongst loads of other things this has made us laugh

Is your cooker looking a little past it, due to over cooking

How dare you use your cooker too much..........

So just in case they do, is the price reduced 5% too

So your 20 foot long wool carpet could be 19 foot
long when they've finished.
Nothing like reassuring your customers is there?

One of my customers just had Groupon in to negotiate a deal.

They told him 25% on the phone that asked for 55% when face to face.

I have also heard that they pay you your cut less the VAT portion.

Love the pictures on that guy's website, very persuasive.

Is that a VAX he is using to clen that bedroom carpet

On a more positive note, I really like their tag line, "We don't cut corners, we clean them!"

They obviously get customers and as some of you bleat on all the time about target audiences, they've obviously targeted theirs and won them round....

They don't need to charge higher prices as their initial outlay has been a lot cheaper than most of ours...

Good luck to them, I say.....

Yip, that's the way it works so in this example ( £39 for carpet cleaning in two rooms, plus upholstery clean (69% Off) ) the muppet will be doing all that for £39 minus the vat minus the 55% which makes £14.62 profit....... before expenditures

Groupon attracts the type of people i cant wait to get off the phone...
I do like the pictures on this guys website... If he doesn't cut corners... why hasn't he cleared all the kids toys from the floor?? lol

   That is not their tag line its as old as the hills.

A serious spell check is in order as well,

On the offer, if done over a month at the current level they will 'earn' less than £40.00 per day for seven jobs a day thats

£5.70 per job     and the offer runs until August... can only be major upsell once on job I think we call that classic  Bait & Switch
