Why did the Lee Pryor thread get locked?
I just got me biscuits out and was about to settle down for an evening of fun and games :'(

Amounts to unpaid and unauthorised advertising for commercial gain perhaps ?

 No different if you pop a note to say I've something for sale

I personally think locking the thread is a bit unfair and unreasonable

And I never comment over locked threads or banter over difference of opinions

I'm only guessing, I could be completely wrong.....................and if it were the case I'm not even passing judgement and saying whether it is right or wrong. Can you lock a post yourself ?

The owner of the thread can lock it also. If admin does, they normally put a thread explaining why, dont they?

I doubt Lee would lock it. He loves the attention, positive or negative.

Next we"ll be seeing Lee Pryor's fleshlights advertised on pornhub.

Can’t see it working to be honest. Very very costly mistake.

I locked it myself because of posts like this.

I have made it known whats on offer and why. That was all I wanted to do. As the thread was starting to decline in the usual way I decided to lock it.

As for costly mistakes, you dont know until you try. I am happy to loose the budget I have set in order to give it a go.

If and when leads become availiable I will make it known.

Agreed.
Who watches ITV during the day? (Or ever)
Maybe the families of those lot on Jeremy Kyle?
Screw paying Mr Pryor £15 for any of those leads.

Are you that desperate for new customers?
Id have thought you wouldnt need many more from the way you mentioned how many are calling up each day? Im guessing has dried up.
I still think you would have been best off buying fully established rounds and growing around them via canvassing the existing and surrounding roads. I did this recently bought a grand of work and turned it into just under 3 grand by the next clean date from hitting the surrounding doors.
Why cover such a large area for domestic? Surely closer to home would be much easier to maintain, covering the whole of the se for domestic with only 10/12 rounds seems pointless? Not knocking it at all as your making it work, just id have done it different if was me to keep it all close to home.

These kinds of post really make me smile.

I am simply open to trying new things.

I dont really think I need to justify why we do what we do or the way we do it. Really it boils down to numbers. We have a couple more vans to put on the road this year and I want to try something new. If it doenst work we will continue to do our leaflet drops in the sort of numbers we did last year. Bottom line is we now turnover £50k a month every month, thats double over this time last year so no I am not desperate in any way. I plan to have the same increase this year to take us to 70-80k a month.  You need a huge area in order to generate that much business. If you want to be big you have to think big.

I never come on here and insult or criticise anyone for the business they run or way they run it. Hey I was only offering people the chance for some cheap leads.

Mick you are one of the people here that I really could not give a damn what you think.

I was just wondering Lee, and please this is not a criticism, have you spoken to an advertising agent about your T.V. campaign? If so what was the conclusion, in relation to the radio campaign you had.

Im wondering did they suggest you might have more luck with a T.V. campaign by comparison? If so, why would that be the case?

Your so rude
I enjoy seeing how you progress but you can never take any criticism!
I couldnt give a damn if you turn over 50k a month or £500 a month so the need to mention pound notes i dont know. I dont care who has a bigger willy.
I simply asked a valid question to you on a forum and said how id do it different if was me by keeping it all closer to home instead of the whole south east!
I also didnt mention the leads in a negative way at all! I actually thought  was a good idea selling them off to other cleaners.
Your so up your own arse you think everyone else is beneath you and cant have an opinion.
I wish you all the luck in the world as i do everyone but man chill out its just a forum.

Turning over £50,000 a month and you want to sell leads for a poxy £15? Shame on you.
We look at them, they look through them.
