if you were to set up a rival to the NCCA, what would you call it.
ACCA
"approved carpet cleaners association" is my idea, anyone else
and while i'm hear dreaming and bored waiting for the misses to lose 9lb in 1 hour, (giving birth for those that don't know she's preggars and 5 days over due)
if you saw the ACCA advertised on television with lets say, dale winton doing the advert, saying how great acca members were and "yarda yarda yarda" posters on bus stops, in the national press etc.....
how much would you pay to join.
theres a lot that pay £200 to join the ncca for not much really so would it be worth £1000 a year?
or what about £1000 membership then £20 a week from then on.
its not a lot of money when you think about the benefits, easier to turn the quotes into a job, harder for the cheap boys to do business, you'd also get referals from the ACCA website, "as advertised on tv"

tv advertising, full back up with insurance etc... discounts from leading distributers on chems, yearly training.
a fair few years ago, some cc's had an idea, an idea to start the NCCA, it did well and prospered, but then somehow lost its way.
why can't a few of us get together and start the ACCA, with fresh new ideas, a none (direct) profit association to rid the uk of cheap cc's, to give trust back to the ordinary housewife in our profession. to make the ACCA a household name like corgi, and cilic bang

friends, carpet cleaners, gentleman, it is time, time to stand together, to make our voices heard. to put carpet cleaners on the map, to share with the world, the pride we have in our work.

dya know, i make a joke but deep down, i think with some dedication and belief, this could actually work.
200 members, £200,000, plus £16000 a month, and as soon as the tv adverts go out, expect another 200 to join straight away, giving a first annual t/o of around 3 quarters of a million.
a cleaning protocol with minimum standard equipment, yes porti's are welcome.
job satisfaction sheets for the custy.
members 3 strikes and your out.
anyway. bed time, or at least, coffee and a ciggie.
