and... when/if they balk at the price, be sure to break it down to the rediculous and then compare it to something else that is relatible. Kind of like I did with my Burger King ads... the difference between what they were paying and what I would have been was basically a Whopper Meal per day.

Jon... I think it comes down to good ol' fashion CLOSING when the prices are so similar like that. If a customer were to tell me that, I would say something like "$5? Let's see, this sealer will last you for 5+ years (I'm guessing), so now that you have gotten other quotes like a responsible homeowner, which day works better for you, Tuesday, or Thursday? If they balk at that, then say... That's good that you want to think about it, Mr. Jones, because we are really busy and can't get here until next week so why don't we put you down for Thursday and if anything comes up, give me a call and we'll reschedule". Then, send Thank you cards, coupons, etc... every couple of days reminding them why they went with the best! ;)

The Marine Base where I live just laid off 400+ people that were hired as part of the "Obama Wreckovery" plan... People are hurting out there. It's sad.

Dan, evidently you and I read different articles, because the jobs saved figure was proven to be absolute fraud, just like global warming and every other liberal brain fart out there.

Dan.. you don't HAVE to visit all of them :) There are different flavas on the different boards, but I've learned to not spend so much time on them or it's easy to just get sucked into the drama. TGS was my first, so it has a special place in my heart.

Happy Thanksgiving, turkeys. :) Hope you guys have a good one.

cool brutha, hope it helps. Oh yeah, forgot to say on the video but make sure you don't have the same keyword phrase on every forum. For instance: put "Roof Cleaning In Panellis Co" then "Need My Roof Cleaned", on ***, then "What are those black streaks" on another forum, etc... Makes sense?

I'm sending you some hate mail right now, Adrian. :) I this video for some guys on the *** forum, but the benefits are still the same for this forum. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji_YObkxZr4]YouTube - Hood Cleaning Helper - How to Anchor Text Your Keywords[/ame]

Received a call today, a contractor wants me to wash his construction equipment. Backhoes, forklift, loaders etc.... I have no idea what to charge, or frankly, how to clean them....any help?

Running that much hose I would have probably went with the 2-3 gpm injector especially with a 4 gpm machine. I have a 5.5 machine and run the 2-3 injector. Have for right about a year now.

Yup, I agree with Alexy; go used! No use in spending a ton of money on something that is going to get so little use. With contractors folding left and right you can find some good deals on ebay and craigslist. I would look for something in the 5.5 gpm @ 3000 psi range for commercial work.

It's a good thing you stepped down dude, because I was going to call for an impeachment!!! Wait, what are we talking about again? Oh look, a chicken. I think everybody is a little "uptight" lately and taking things wayyyy too personally. It's on all boards too. Drama where there doesn't need to be any. You flatworkers' season is coming up (if it hasn't started already) and you guys just need to get back to work and you'll be happier again. Don't step down, Scott, I think you are a good moderator and sometimes you level things out. When everybody gets busy again and we all start getting along (besides all the other greasers and Ed :D just kidding Ed) you'll wish you hadn't stepped down. If I were Beth, I wouldn't accept your resignation. ;)

Rog... I do believe that I have learned a bunch from you already, any further pointers would be redundant. :) Chris... My posts have offended you before? I don't ever remember you being mad at me for anything...

I frankly don't want to apologize to anyone. I have typed some things that may have been read wrong by people and I didn't intend for that to happen, but I think they should apologize to me for reading my posts wrong :D I like TGS, it's the first pressure washing forum that I ever visited. I can't believe that I haven't been kicked off of here yet.

:D

I'll wait until I'm 40 before I start getting them regularly. Besides, The doctor told me last year when I had pneumonia that when I come back he was going to have to check my prostate now that I'm over 30. I just didn't feel right about taking the exam back behind the building...I thought something was fishy with that whole thing...

I prefer to by "Made in America" also, that's why I drive a Nissan Titan. Dodge is made in Canada, Chebby and Ferd in Mexico...

Yeah, he even used one of those free website builders... He also just gave away to "another guy" a HUGE account and asked for nothing from it.

That's exactly what I do... :D seriously.

I used the phone book just the other day. I couldn't find an account (that found me on the internet) that I was bidding on the internet so I looked in the phone book to get their correct address. It felt like I was going back to High School, the good ol days. Even if you don't get a website (which is silly in my opinion) make a video and put it on Youtube. You will get business from that.

Yeah, but they would figure out I wasn't when they saw that I wasn't sporting the big gay porn star mustache :D Just kidding all you firemen out there.. My FIL retired Fire Cheif, I'm allowed to talk crap about you

I had a red light mounted behind my grill on my hunting truck...big no, no, but you couldn't see it unless I turned it on and I never did that unless I was hunting out in the middle of nowhere at night off of the road.

Hey Craig, how are you bro? Good to see you on here again.

yep...those are the shiz
