And to be PERFECTLY CLEAR ...


I like the Mentoring idea and I like Robert...

[Rob Allen]

No problem here Thomas (Captain Carpet). All of us need to work together to raise industry standards.

Now back on point. We had the privlege of having Anthony (Tony) Ehrenzeller this week. We had a great time with him. Too bad it was so short. Tony all of us at TMF and Dry-N-Clean wish you (and will help you with) continued success!

Maybe it would be good if some that take you up on this offer give a review as to what they received for this service & then follow up in a few weeks & months later & see if it gave the the kick start intended.

Just an idea.

[Berberlicious]

Thats a great idea Billy! Perhaps a few things they especially liked about the program, and also a few things that we could improve.

I have my brother going up in about 3 or 4 weeks to take the Ride-a-long. I will be happy to chronicle everything from the point of his trip forward. I am really hoping this will help our business take the next step.

I spent a week there and my favorite parts are the experience with the Chemicals, different equipment and the varying types of jobs.

I got to use many different chemicals and get to work first hand on how to use them based on the carpet types and soil levels. There are many different wands, glides, TM, sprayers, Van types, modifications and the list goes on.

Then there are the different types of jobs. We did whole houses, single rooms, upholstery, up selling, dual and single wand, really bad carpet(s), stairs, nice people, strict people, and again the list goes on.

After this, I feel allot better that I can go out and do a much better job. I base on my confidence that I have from the training at TMF's mentor program. Although it had no name at that time it was really is one of the two best moves I have made. The second (I feel confident on) is getting Duane to build my TM. I get it soon and must say I am excited. You would think it was a new sports tour bike and not a working tool!!

I would recommend that someone who needs the one on one training should go out to the Virginia Beach area and spent the week. You well take away the confidence to go out on your own. The fact that you can call the people at TMF and get answers to your “?” is worth the cost of the week.

PS. I stayed near the mall and the restaurants where great!

[Rob Allen]

Thanks Joseph! It was a pleasure meeting you.

Last week we had the pleasure of having Steve Early from the board here for a Ride-A-Long. More info to follow but we must say that Steve is a down to earth, good ole country boy from the south. He jumped right into carpet cleaning and I hope we didn't wear you out on the truck Steve,lol. :AddEmoticons08047:

[johntalley]

Sounds like a great time !! when will the traing dvds be out ? Hint Hint ?? I need tile traing and I now have 12 blowers 1 dehid 2 meters and don't know squat about flood work ..LOL.. Bet I get a call before I'm ready

Thats what makes life good ( learning )

[Rob Allen]

This week we have the pleasure of mentoring Steve Webster from Richmond. He is a super guy with a lot of enthusiasm. I am sure he will go far in the carpet cleaning and restoration business!

Rob,

I had Steve send me an email about his whole experience on the Ride Along and will post it here soon. I can be honest to say that I spoke with Steve all week during the Ride Along and it sounded like things were going really good.

One thing I might suggest is more detail and organization with making sure that everything is covered with the person coming to do the Ride Along as well as providing more in depth understanding of the chemical compounds and their uses. I will withhold passing my expectations and thoughts on what I spent on the Ride Along until I have some more feedback to give on your follow up to things he has learned after the trip and your response to some of the request for information and support upon his return home.

I think a mentoring program is great. I have a guy coming out from Michigan for a couple of weeks in December. He is a dry chem guy who wants to start using a TM. I would always be open to helping out another brother in wands.

[Rob Allen]

Thanks Tim for your pointers. As the program is in it's early stages we are learning more every day. We found your brother very kind and down to earth. On the learning curve we are finding people who have little to no experience in more than one area. This makes it where we have to make a choice where to concentrate our efforts. If one has no experience and wants to know all they can about carpet cleaning then we have to decide whether to focus on this one area mostly.

I am working diligently to provide all the follow-up Tim and will have it by this weekend for you. I assure you we are here to support you in every way possible. Look forward to my follow-up information tailored to your company needs!

Keith this is what it's all about. Call me if I can be of any assistance!

Banned for being a bogus person.

I just got back yesterday from spending a couple of days with Rob and crew. I am a total newbie just looking to get into this business, so my comments come from that perspective.

I only had about 2 days to spend there so we really just focused on getting out in the field and cleaning some stuff. I got to see (and do) upholstery, carpets (not so bad and really bad, including burber), red stains, pet urine, etc., and most importantly gained the confidence to walk in, great the customer, and get to work.

I learned how to operate a TM, push a wand (hey, there's more technique to it than I thought), and generally make the customer happy. I was cleaning my first rug and just about killing myself doing it when Will came in and said "no, no, no, that's not how you do it". He then showed me how I had been fighting the wand instead if letting it do the work and gave me some technique pointers. I told him that the entire trip was worth that right there.

I also learned what chemicals to use in which situations. We cleaned one townhouse that must have had at least 50 urine stains, maybe even 100. You almost couldn't step without hitting one.

I also talked a little bit about websites and Search Engine Optimization with Tre.

It may sound really basic to a lot of you, but I am really glad I took the time to do it and really thankful to Rob and his team for all of their help!

It looks like Dale made the trip from Arizona. New York is not nearly that far from Virginai Beach. Maybe 1/2 days drive depedning on waht part of the state you are in and if you can avoid rush around around the DC area.

$495.00 is crazy.
I wouldnt teach the biz for less than $4995.00

I have been thinking the same lately Ken.

[cosway-canada]

Difference is, this is sooooo much more then just a ride along!
Try reading what a new guy gets again, you, are no one else has ever offered, or has been able to offer, such an all "inclusive" program!


This Offer Is Smoken>>>>>>>>>

Cheers, AL

You get what you pay for.

[cosway-canada]

For over 18 years I have been involved with teaching. The programme, while NOT carpet cleaning related is valued at $1200.00

After dealing with thousands of people I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt that the ones who paid appreciated it WAY more. 90% of the thousands of people who got it for free did NOT appreciate it.

It’s important to note:
My experienced is based on 18+ years and about 6000 people, so it is what it is.

[Rob Lyon]

I have worked with service businesses, and I will tell you $495.00 is
VERY RESONABLE, take them up on this program, I got paid ALOT more
than that for probably alot less work on my part. I worked mostly on
restructuring someones business.


All The Best, Rob
