Are you also quiet?

Is it just me or has the domestic carpet & upholstery cleaning market gone quiet?

In the past 2 weeks I've cleaned several rugs, but not had 1 enquiry for carpets or upholstery.

Hi Cheryl

I'm the same, it's gone dead my end too.

What i hate about this business is that its got no set pattern ???

Last month i did an advertisment offering free this and free that, and it went barmy, so i did the same this month and i have recieved just one phone call :(

Has been pretty quiet all this year so far, although May has not been too bad, had some decent sized jobs which boosted turnover.

Number of jobs well down on last year, but as I consider myself semi-retired now, I am not too bothered.

I'm sure recent overspending on credit and higher taxes all round are coming home to roost.  It was inevitable sooner or later.

Over all quiet, one week its good then goes quiet again. Its half term here in Norfolk, whcih tends to mean a quiet time, but then there is always something that you can say its quiet for, election, holidays, snow, easter etc.

do you know why you are so quiet.because you are using negatives, cant, shant , wont ,dont, not and so on, if you want to be busy wake up in the morning and change your line of thought to i can, i will, and do something about it. by all agreeing with each other does it make you feel better?no. it makes you feel worse change your modus operendi.and go out and do different ways og getting business in. its out there.and plenty of it. open your eyes. and stop worki9ng in the identical way of each other you can not you cant, good luck sherlock :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Nice post Sherlock. I too am from Kent and things are ticking over rather well at the moment (turning over around 100 pounds per week more than last year). Good luck Cheryl and stick with it. Get out there and do some visits, it works for me when I am quiet.

please ill teach you more on ablind date . you dont need to spend 3000. to learn the tricks of any trade. you need whoomph. you need open eyes . you need to watch listen, and learn all these things can be bought far cheaper. nothing wrong with learning and having to pay. but you are a salesman in this game. and if you aint one you never will be however much you spend

I went fishing on Sunday and today and I love it, I do not live to work like some of you, I earn plenty and still have time off. Yes I am quiet at the moment but I have just finished an estimate worth "Five Grand" I may or may not get it but If you recall I said I was a great believer in Yellow pages ads that is why I spent £4500 on mine this year. This lead was from the yellow pages ad and the facilities manager told me he picked my company because of the professional layout of my ad!! So If I do get the job it will have paid for a years advertising in one hit.  So there. ;)
