So far I have used one of Mark’s (working mans club) made some changes sent out about 30 Saturday week ago quoted on 5 guaranty 4 but must go via the committee I also pick up two pubs by word of mouth.

Once again thanks Mark

Mike now I’m envious I only got back Friday week ago wish I were still there even with the rain. If you are in the San Pedro (Marbella) area I have a Ninja there which you are welcome to use, they love brit cc their.

Have a look at www.ocibr.com 'porthole for cleaners' you will have to register , click on downloads , they have an amazing amount of stuff that you will find useful.You can put something of your own on the site for other people to use then whatever you use does not cost you anythng.
I have used a fair bit of stuff that Mark Betts has put on there (thanks Mark),and it works wonders.

Hope this helps Wink

Posted by MB (Mark Betts), 30 March 2004
Guys

If anyone wants any letters or stuff to make it easier for me can you please e mail me at  sales@carpet-magic.co.uk

Cheers


Mark

Dont think your hotmail account will take large files.

Posted by mike_halliday (mike_halliday), 30 March 2004
Mark, one day you´ll learn your lesson, never offer anything on a public forum because you´ll get 20 private messages asking for it Shocked

If I was honest  fancy sales letters don´t work Shocked Shocked

if you want to send out letters to aquire work then just get your letter headed paper, and type out a simple letter asking if they need the services of a proffessional carpet cleaner then send them to small bussiness where the boss or manager opens the mail ( not a secetrary)

flash, clever salesletter may look good but they can´t make someone have their carpets cleaned if they arent dirty.

A sles consultant who I paid £150 told me exactly the same as Mike has told you for free.
Posted by John_Flynn (John_Flynn), 30 March 2004
Who do you give the work to Mike, when they answer YES I do require the services of a Professional Carpet Cleaner??
Posted by squeaky (squeaky), 30 March 2004
They obviously work for some and not others , I have always used them and it works for me , I can only speak for myself but I send out about 70 to 100 a month (2nd class )and get better results some months than others but it does depend on who I am writing to that month and the time of year etc, it is the repeat business 6/12 months later that is handy.

Mark,

Rather than send me all that Marketing stuff can you just send me the money. Cheesy

Cut out all that paperwork, postage etc.
