I can't say I've ever done a video quote... it sounds like they want a cheap and cheerful carpet cleaner.. 3 rooms for £50.00 kind of thing... that's not a good quality lead..
I'm all for modern technology,  especially if it makes my job easier... how did you get the lead.?? Facebook.??

They want their money's worth.. lol... all that for £70.00 .. leave them to the 3 rooms for £50.00 bunch.. they are welcome to them..

How do you find your website.?? Does it bring in good quality leads.??   I've not got a website.. but I should get one.. and on average how many leads would it generate per month.??

My website isn't bringing in much but it's getting revamped  at the moment and I will get in touch with someone to seo it better
very little work coming in that's why I was shocked when the 3 quotes came in at once
alarm bells
 I haven't been putting the flyers out regularly either
Anyway not much   I believe the cheap brigade get mist if hhd work due to having small machines in and out in a crack merchants  I have seen some carpet cleaners walk up and down a street knock doors with there machines a lie saying that there cleaned the house up the road and there've got spare time on there hands happens quite regularly
I haven't been pushing my carpet and upholstery at all for 4 years I just stopped  then 7 weeks ago I spent everything on upgrade machine and accessories  then then armageddon struck so iam now waiting i have work all over waiting to be cleaned  I got a delivery if 10.000 flyers today 
Just waiting now  ???
If you need a website see   mark at www.kinreth.com   and flyers    hes a busy man though very clever
Anyway sorry to drool on  ???  Iam like everyone else waiting  ::)roll   for the lights to be put on  >:(

I've got a guy down my way..(Barry in South Wales) who does supply and deliver 10,000 flyers for £485.00 which i think is very good... so I'm in the process of getting my flyer designed and that costs about £50.00
So what did you upgrade to.???  To be honest i need to upgrade too... my machine is an old girl now... lol... i quite fancy the Alltec Advance... 3 vacs and 600psi pump... and a saphire pro upholstery tool.. coupled with that rotary brush that you suggested for agitation... that would make my life much easier...lol...

I have an prochem comanche  twin van 130psu bit noisy  so i upgraded to a airflex pro 800 psi twin vac and a 3rd vac booster pod  I already had a magma heater  I like everything separate makes the machine lighter  to get into houses sometimes I have 10 steps inront of the front door
I painted the comanche and it looked dreadful  people were complaining about the noise

How do you find the Airflex..?? Is there not a heater in the water tank.??  And how hot does the magma heater heat the water too.??
The saphire hand tool looks the business though... is it as good as everyone says it is.??

We have a few top of the range Alltec machines and believe me when I say they dont come anywhere near to a proper truckmount.

That much of a game changer .!!! 👍👍👍 it's certainly food for thought...
