Hi every one, waiting for my new hwe kit to arrive, did a days in house training, but really do need a bit of practical tuition perhaps a couple of hours with an experienced carpet cleaner who could show me how its done and how to spot (no pun intended) and deal with any issues, maybe certain ways you can speed it up or start at the top work down or is it dirtiest first etc. What kit and chemicals used mainly
I'm in Selby North Yorkshire so obviously would travel a bit so you know I'm not stepping on your toes and getting any of your customers. I will of course pay for the help.
So is there any Good Samaritan out there who could adopt an oldie and help perhaps Leeds/Wakefield/Hull/Doncaster/etc
Oh ps I'm an old guy so go a bit easy on me  lol

Why do people in this game start up and then expect us to give them all the info to make money for free !!!

Speak to Shaun, im sure he will help you out 

Misrable head on today 

[Andrew Briscoe]

Dont worry Paul,
Mossy is only miserable on days that end in a Y   

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I have a waiting list of people wanting to come out cleaning with me (honestly) there's no chance before Xmas I have me and a helper in the van there isn't enough room and time ATM.

Go on a training course if you haven't already done so, then when your kit arrives do some practise clean on friends and relatives carpets so you get to know how it all works and then see if someone will take you out for a day, that way, atleast you'll know what's going on

The best thing to do is when you get a biggish job to do and either skills wise or size wise you can't do it, pass it on to someone who knows their onions and ask if you can work for them on the job.

Now on the face of it you might not like that idea. You don't just lose the job you lose the client. Your competition may say thanks, now you can pizz off. But you will be surprised how many times this approach comes back many times in terms of knowledge, new work and just having an ally.   

[Mike Halliday]

Did you  say you would pay!!!

I live just down the road and could give the best days or 2 days training you could ever get


But you could Be a murderer just out of prison , and you want me to take you into high class homes, better tell us something about yourself

[Simon Gerrard]

I hope you like animals

Simon we may have disagreements with Mike every now and then, but there is no need to call him and his oppo animals  

 

[Paul Moss]

If he brings that fellow withthe glasses then run 

[Simon Gerrard]

The guy in the glasses was the last one to take up one of mikes offers, he was perfectly normal when he arrived, now look at him.

[wynne jones]

If he brings that fellow withthe glasses then run 

Was he in carry on screaming but with a lot more hair?

[Paul McHugh]

Well fellas can't say i was expecting some of the replies I,m clearly naive thinking I could expect some support and encouragement oh and Mike I've just I have just had a CRB check (I thought It Might Be Needed )which of course you are more than welcome to view  and guess what its completely clear.
But guys your quite right I should tell you a little about me, I said oldish I,m 62 , two years of unemployment after redundancy speckled with the odd agency job JSA finished ages ago and in the last four months only 3 interviews without success. Now have step daughter and 4year old granddaughter to support so hey I'm trying
to keep the wolf from the door.
Any way I will do this With or Without help but I cannot deny I am nervous and I sort of think that I would probably help someone if the tables were turned and it wouldn't cost me.
Cheers for That guys

You can come out with me give me call,

How close are you to actually been in business? Have you bought your equipment and van?

A couple of hours would be piontless You will need to spend a full day across here so we can do some jobs, visit some carpet shops and talk about basic marketing,  we can even arrange to have tea with 3 or 4 other carpet cleaners so you can pick thier brains as well.

I'm happy to make the day as intensive as you want.

It has to happen in the next 2 weeks then I'm in hospital

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Mike gives you a great day out I would take him up on his offer he's a very good teacher and talks a lot of sense.

Shaun

[Paul Moss]

Too soft 

[*Hector*]

I agree... You could learn more in 1 day with Mike, than on a weeks worth of courses.

[Paul McHugh]

Hey Mike that's a fantastic offer unless your taking the p----
Ordered kit from Nick at Solutions but you may know the jag is in short supply
bought Sebo b36, getting a rotawash and a variety of chemicals sort of trial box.  
The wifes car is an estate was going to try with that but I know I need a van But will get one pretty soon
I know its a little childish but I am so so keen to do the job properly and except  Friday granddad duties I'm good to go,   I did do the 1 carpet day course at CleanSmart and followed with upholstery 1 day at there offices in Nottingham run by Derek Bolton but it was a while ago now and its starting to fade from the memory
Email is, oh am I supposed to pm you although not sure how to do that.
Anyway let me know how I can tie this up with you (if its not a joke)
many thanks
Paul

Oh and to the guys who passed over some  positive comments Thank You
oh and Paul (Mr Moss )I think underneath that hard leathery exterior is a heart of granite(joking)
 Shaun I probably I do love the  banter
