One thing is very noticeable - You are looking a lot trimmer these days. :) but where's the tie?

Hi Mike

Looks nice but my comment is much the same as it was for Steve's, I feel you miss the opportunity to really show the power of the truckmount and how it cuts through the dirt.

If I ever make one I will skip the boring bits like vaccing and just show me cleaning with really hot water and how the marks dissapear.

Cheers

Doug

I think it's excellent.  If I was being picky I'd say you could have both worn the same gear, maybe a uniform, but that's not a huge deal.

Very professional looking video though, well done.

Well for some reason now I can view it whereas yesterday I couldn't.  Anyway, great vid Mike... and I love the way you are sooooo careful with them hoses  ;D

Seriously tho it's very good.  I like how the female voiceover does the commentary yet still allows you guys' voices to be just about heard in the backgroung discussing the job.  Agree with Doug tho if u could've shown the TM blitzing a bit of manky carpet that would've been even better.

As you know customers will pick on tiny silly things and the shot at that point shows the wand been moved past the skirting board and looks like the wand was marking the board.  Make sence?

Another thumbs up from me.
In fact I might download it, put it on a hand-held media player and use it for quoting, I'll just say it's my Hull branch.

Only joking  ;) ;D

Most people will be watching it on the website and 60% of people google domain names so probably won't make any difference at all. ;)

It must be a problem with whatever media software you have on your pc.
Works for fine for me, and I'm impressed Mr H I like it. As mentioned it's not meant to be an NCCA training video but something that help potential customer to understand what is involved with carpet cleaning.
This is the sort of thing I'd expect Chemdry, OCS, Servicemaster etc to produce.

yeah cant be anything wrong with the video! its hosted on YouTube! with are hosted on Google servers for god sake! lol So defo a problem with the software on your computer.

Liked the video, only two things though. A shot of the truckmont would have been great. And the ladies voice..... not my cuppa tea. Do you have another womans voice you could use?

Excellent video,the intro says "how will you clean our carpets?",that reads as though you are asking a customer how they are going to clean your carpets not how you are going to clean their carpets.
Should it not be "how we are going to clean your carpets?"  :)

John   if you listen to the girl she says "the question we get asked most is""how will you clean our carpets?",

so the sentence is correct when used in context with the girls voice

Mike we have discussed before on the forums that as a rule you don't usually vacuum but now you have shown them on a video that this is what you do!

Are you changing your procedures or are you hoping they just don't mention it?

Also how will this affect your ability to do 3 rooms in 1 hour for £99

Cheers Goron

Goron, were do I say I do 3 rooms for £99? or that I don't usually vacuum?

but this procedure is flexible, not all carpet need checking for colour fastness and not all carpets need vacuuming but this is something that can be discussed with the customer. this video is a just guideline we can also do things which are not mentioned eg specific stain removal or tabbing.
