Hi Guys

A fine body of men, looks like you had an interesting day.

Maybe us Southern Softies should organise something too ?

Cheers

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for Today it was Excellent, Great to actually have a chat to other Carpet cleaners.

Im looking forward to practicing the retuft and reweaving at home in the next few weeks, (Thanks Dave a fantastic demo).

Im sure there will be many occasions in the future when i can put the skills learnt today to good use.

Regards Paul

[Mike Halliday]

yes it was a very informative day and I've decided to take Dave Ls advice and increase my prices. I'm now charging £1 a ft and if any customers argue about it I shall tell them

'I charge £1 a ft..... BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT!!!'

anyone want any re-tufting doing?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Re tufting is like matching colour dye, it's easy when you know how the more you do the better you get. I used to do it 20 years ago when I worked for Servicemaster but I'm not sure my eyes are upto it anymore.

Hi

I've only talked to Dave Leahona once, he was offering advice when i wanted to increase my prices by 30%.

He told me to stop messing about & DOUBLE my prices.

Dave

[Mike Osbourne]

Hi Dave

Have you increased them and what happened if you did?

Mike

[David_Annable]

Hi

I've gone for 50% increase combined with Special Offers so not really such a big increase , but my average job ticket will go up.

Well done Paul .......................... nice for someone to put in the effort........................... best stick my name down for next one  (as long as course includes night on the town afterwards ............ looks like the ones in picture had to rush off to jobs as BOUNCERS  )

Just a quick note to say thanks to Paul for an excellent day, and Lorraine for the excellent food and drink. Also thanks to Dave Leahona for his retufting skills and enthusiasm. Good to meet you all. We should do it again. I'm now going to continue making holes in my carpet so I can retuft!
