0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 I'm finding that the United Association of Mobile Contract Cleaners has been a real Lead Generator. As the head of the association I want to find a fair system to pass these leads. If the people are members they will get the leads First of course. I do not feel that someone looking towards the association for help shouldn't be given a great referral regardless of membership. Leads? Fair system? How about forming a committee to lay out qualifications for the referrals, list them by state and let the clients pick their own instead of just a 'select' few? Otherwise, this does not look good from my understanding of what gets done with leads. There should be no bias involved and that is exactly why I declined to take part in this question of yours. 3 contractors out of an entire country. I don't find that realistic.

0 Ron Musgraves 240 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 The leads are a very Small part, yes this is about possible forming of Committee. Its pretty Simple guys if you think Highly enough of three Guys send me there Names. The others who have posted here an elsewhere have not had this type of response. Seems there a lot of negative here from what I see. If you have some positive or constructive ideas lets here them, if not please just refrain yourselves from argument. I said at the start I'm on one mission, obtain some of the top Leaders in this particular segment of the industry. Thanks Leads?Fair system?

0 Ron Musgraves 240 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 Just because you have your panties in a wad in general about Thad, doesn't mean it wasn't funny. It was. In fact, I'm still smiling about it. Beth Im sorry Beth , How would you know about private affairs between Thad & Myself? Interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Ron Musgraves 240 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 I think you off track on this, actually the highest compliment someone can get would be from there peers. No one is asking for judgement. Is there anyone whom you look up to in this business, it doesn't need to be three, as I said its not a contest of who's better. Its just some help as to a place to start. I'm not Clear if you wanted to Say Beth & RoD or Roger & Celeste? Hmmm....I don't bother judging others. How good they are is determined by THE CUSTOMER, not me. Perception is everything, and if the customer perceives them as good, they're just as good as any so-called top dogs from internet forums. All the guys here do good work from what I've seen, and I wish them the best of success. Rock on fellas, and ladies (nod to Beth, Celeste, my better half and some of the others out there).

0 John T 744 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 Hey Ron...whatever it is... Just do it. The clocks ticking and I think of guys like Jeff LeCours who believe in not rushing to get things done but to get it done do it right.. I always admired what guys like him said and it makes sense. My motto is just do it.. Get the people you need to support it and if it works....it works. I just got back tonight from having the top floor in a restaurant closed off because of what I am planning on doing. I have the owner of this Restaurant and some friends involved. I'm still trying to close the door on last year stuff...and sure as shizz while where there going over stuff the Mets throw there first No hitter in the 51 yrs of there existence. I'm doing something yet I am a true blue Met fan.. Trivia question.. Top two All time highest percentage to ever get in the baseball Hall of fame are ex-Mets.. Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan. Where busy. I do what I do and no one can stop it unless I just stop.. And the clock is ticking. Like you I'm not in this forever.. So you got something--just do it and if it works great.. If it sucks then try something else. You'll know soon enough if it works or not. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will see how it goes, alls we can do is try. just another reason to stay off of Facebook for jabbering. I heard I was going to get sued, accusations are flying from other people twards eac other yada yada yada.. All a pile of horse phooey . Big deal. If you think some people are bad dudes then keep them close so you know there every move.. Personally get off the stupid "pimple face book" and do something constructive and quit the *****in. These aimed out many on "CRAP BOOK. errrr I mean Facebook. Which is the universal dummying down of the American society. I hope Zeckerface gets thrown in the slammer for stealing his idea's, being such a NEGATIVE influence on society, allowing just the very rich to by shares first over says for penny's to the dollar and basically screwing the middle class.. He needs to meet BRUTIS the Horney man lover in any USA prison. fuc*erman is a disgrace for his own self gain--garbage in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 IMO this should be listed as "qualified Professionals in your area". You're all the best in my book. i would know nothing without this forum, and help from the following: Shane ( above all best customer service as well). Rick Petry Jim Foley Rod Beth and don't forget Tracy and Pete. and Chaz and the timberland dude that never stops talking during the round tables. and countless others. Thx Doug and Chris and ron, but, my skills learned from these pros, and customers satisfaction from what I have learned here, and most of all the fact that I still love this stuff after ten years is all that matters to me.

0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 I still think it should just be a directory because of people's different forte's in the wood industry. But if it was a "Best of" Then Ricks azz should def be on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
