Carpet protector

Hi guys

How many of you guys would sell carpet protector every time you see a new or old client?
And how many of them would buy it?

Regards

I try every time, when it's ecological. meaning it's a win-win, (nothing to do with saving the planet)

Trust me I'm a hypnotherpist!

I don't sell protector purely because :-
a: The chemical isn't helping the whole eco-green cleaning situation.
b: With the safer, water based protectors, the drying times are increased hugely....sadly custards will not remember how clean their carpets stayed, but rather..how long they took to dry.

If I could find someone who produces a protector that is added to the solution tank and is suitable for promotion as a eco-friendly product....that won't knacker my water pump...I would attempt the sale 100% of the time..........

Over and Out.
Tony.

Hi Paul, i dont get what you mean mate, i couldnt say if its getting me more work but it certainly boosts the average job ticket. I dont sell it as an invincible shield that nothing can break through (like the clasp on Shaun Ashmore's wallet) rather as a "time buyer" so spots an spills can be blotted up before the carpets drink the offending soiling.

"it certainly boosts the average job ticket".

Dene, thats probably what Paul meant.

and I agree with you that it buys time for them to soak the spi;; up.

Personally I dont push, though I should because it does boost "the job ticket".

Well that’s amazing, not even one single pole about this protecting subject.
I wonder how some of these companies which produce the protectors survive if not many carpet cleaners buy it.
