Hi Guys
Sorry, I've been offline for a while.
We actually got the consumable business from them because, amongst other things, they wanted one supplier that could deal with all the branches and send a single invoice once a month. Unfortunately, I'm sure they'll want the same with the carpet cleaning.
I've got a couple of instant messages from a couple of people who can do nationwide coverage and we'll try that approach first.
Can anyone tell me if a franchise like Chem-Dry would actually manage a national contract at head office level (including invoicing) and then distribute the work amongst it's franchisees or are they all run entirely independently?
Are there many national carpet cleaners about?
Regards
Mike
