well he's not taken my bet yet, still there for the taking Jason. i'm confident you won't go down the groupon rd. £10 says you don't.  10 days to go before he launches, or will he?, den den dennnnnnnnnn

The contract has been sent away  ,and it is in process .  It is no big deal , and just part of what I am doing .   My main business is  disaster restoration, cleaning takes up the slack ,as it largely uses the same equipment. Carpet cleaning also provides cashflow to fund the disaster works , profit is not a major necessity for my cleaning side.

  I am in the process of  developing some land I aquired from the proceeds of disaster restoration into a "cleaning centre" --dry cleaners, rug cleaners, and laundry  , not bad for a robbing cheating Enterprise cleaning type  hilarious .

[derek west]

so is the bet on or not?/

[jasonl]

What ? you are betting that I dont go on Groupon?   Like I said , it is being processed , why would you bet on something that is already happening?

[derek west]

i like the odds,

 give me 50/1 then, can't get fairer than that,

Jason, either lock the thread and keep it locked or leave it alone mate? The posturing is a bit annoying but the Groupon deal is just waiting for some Alan Sugar to make holes in history. Why not be that man and go make a few million with it? Stop spouting and put your money where your mouth is.

[jasonl]

Posturing , I shared an idea , some people gave downsides , I countered with upsides , the problem is?   


I am not going to lose money on this , no one is who enters it with a plan , several have made decent sums with it

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I'll put £10 on Jason going on groupon, I don't bet but I do like sure fire money

well jason won't bet me so i'll take that bet mr ashmore, £10 says that jason will not have a groupon deal by the end of the month. + the tenner will come in handy if he does cos your phone won't be ringing for a few months.

Jason, do you think the bets are for you making money on Groupon, or just that you are going to do it?  Posts on CIU wont replace lost turnover and a bad deal. See you after you've made your millions with your magic beans deal.

I just fail to understand how someone with any business sense can see Groupon as a good idea.

[jasonl]

Derek , "by end of the month" , I do not know , it depends where Groupon  put me in the queue.


Cozy , You have said a couple of times in this thread  "I cant see how"  and "I fail to understand"  in

relation to   Groupon ..... Says it all really


It will generate a few thousand in revenue and cash flow which is what is needed in my business at the moment ,medium / long term things are fine , so Groupon is a good idea for my circumstances , though maybe not for others.

What does it say Jason? It says I can see a cr@p deal when I see it. Some can't and think business is personal. Looks like some people will go ahead with a silly deal just to "Show them" that they were right. That's a good sign of a bad deal victim. Your posturing and self praise are are painful to read. I'll leave you to your magic beans fable sort of deal with Groupon. They must have seen you coming. 
Alot of members on this section must know you well (Not any of the "Respected posters" though who won't back your claim up) and are used to your posts. I don't know you at all, but I have noticed how you like to paint your own portrait of the "All knowing Guru" type of big mover. I've seen a few of those on the window scrubbing section of CIU. No difference really, pride and bad judgment are easy to spot.
By the way, will you post the link for your Groupon deal? Hope so.

I'll just check back in a few months to see how you got on, if you're still a member on CIU ofcourse.

Hi Jason,you go for it,prove us all wrong,myself included.
Do you employ people to work for you ( operatives ) ?
I f you do,correct me if I`m wrong with my maths here.
If you do take Groupon up,and you pay good operatives at
That the basic minimum wage,you`ll be paying out of your
Own pocket at the end of the day,because their wages will
Be more than the `Groupon deal`will be,well most jobs
Anyways.Be careful,that’s good advice,Im a `rookie`at
Business always have been,always will be.
Certain people have given you some `stick`over it,but I
Who knows
Where`s the VAT man in all this,that’s what I`d like to know ? :

Personally I think this is a sh-te idea and would rather follow the Mike Halliday method of chucking out 10,000 leaflets a week than doing it the groupon way.
Anyway each to their own and perhaps Jason has found a way around what the rest of us think is commercial suicide.
We'll just have to wait and see.
