WTH????Cody
Cody,
So you are saying you would try to eliminate the competition with regulations?
I guess all of the work I have done researching and building our business would be for nothing ,if I'm forced out of business,because we have only been PWing for 6 months full time.
I'm not talking about the guy that washes with no license or insurance,I'm referring to legit businesses that are doing things the right way.The guys that are reclaiming ,using professional chemicals (and know how to use them), and educating their customers,as well as ,busting their butts to make the sale to help their businesses grow.
How is this industry to grow and get the respect it deserves if you run every new legit company out of business before it ever gets started?
How many years in business will it take to be considered a veteran?Who will determine what qualifies a business to enter into the industry?
I have spent a lot of time and money doing trial and error to build our business.I also ask of help now and again on the BBs when I am stumped by a problem.In return I share what little knowledge I have learned when I can.I think the guys that share their knowledge on this and other BBS show that they want to see PWing get the repect it deserves.
I am not a fan of the PWNA either,I have not seen any benefit in joining for our company as of yet,when I do,we might join.The addition of insurance benefits is a step in the right direction,and maybe in time the PWNA will become and Org, that we will all want to be members of.
I love my competition,we are getting lots of work becasue he's not doing quality work.(I don't chase his accounts,they are calling us,I don't try to beat his prices,he is way cheaper.I give my price and I hold firm,because I make sure to give them what they pay for).I also love "the guy that did it last year"he might have been cheaper than we are ,but since the customer can't find him,I'm more than happy to take his work also.I would love to shake his hand.
I now have the chance to show customers that not all PWing companies are trying to take advantage of them.I also get to show them how good their home or business can look when the job is done right.
Please Cody don't make all of us newbies out to be splash and dash businesses,who could care less about the customer or the PWing industry,because it's not 100% true.
