It was called Hyaluronic Acid, gotta get them in powder and from a good source, otherwise it's not going to work, I usually got them from purebulk.com
I actually haven't taken them in a while, just been eating healthy and avoiding greasy junk foods.

Absolutely slammed!

Cannot keep up....even with the 2 vans....

And everything just has to be done today....

So, my price reflects those last minute have to have it kinds....

Of course, one of those is today (Saturday), so I am going to go and make the $750 on a 2 hour job by myself today so I can not worry about having to SQUEEZE it in again on Monday....as again....

That is as soon as I go pick up my Triple Toon Screaming pontoon boat from storage....and then later today, putting in docks and lifts by myself too....

Did I mention....WE are slammed! cyclops

Family been in the cleaning industry for about 45 years.

I am a third generation cleaner.

But been in and out of the cleaning biz few times... Was a music teacher too

Up under the Saiger name about 14 years now.

Went full time in 2008 again having left teaching

Went pretty gang busters on us....

Here is a link to a PowerPoint I just did at the Experience convention in Clearwater Beach Florida last week.

Kind of tells our story... This PowerPoint is the long version. I had 50 less screens for the show. All about lots of pics and less talk per screen... All about the show... Lol

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54673744/Doing%20it%20Different.pdf

Have a great one... Heading out to get another has to be done job Smile

Cool Mark ! If you don't mind me asking what's your current year advertising budget to keep 2 vans busy ? Reason for me asking is I actually decrease my advertising budget by a lot this year but feel the need to increase it again for summer and the holiday season, still debating for that.

7-10% is what it kind of ends up being, we have a set of items we advertise in or with, but are always looking at changes as needed.

Sometimes, we feel we have become well known enough in certain areas and feel that we don't need some type of advertising there anymore, so we will cut back.

We really find the visual presence of our vans and just our Facebook feed has helped keep us in front of our people.

Somethings work great sometimes and sometimes, things fail or loose their impact... So we already have a list of things for next year we will not be advertising with.

I really should get my ad words back up since Yelp played games with me and I pulled my ads out of there, too bad since they actually are very good source of business, they lost $ 1500+ / month too, may be to them it's chump change, oh well.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, this should be in advertisement thread huh Razz

Who put the brakes on? Only have 3 scheduled for the rest of the week. Can someone spare a dime? The good thing is I have 7 seven rugs to pick up Thursday. Looks like I'll be doing a wand-eeze video.

7 calls today...all within the same hour! Never seen that one before, it was strange.

Booked 5 of them, all full houses and some furniture. I was starting to wonder what happened last week with the slow down.

Thanks Mo....I was laying it on pretty thick. I sounded like Eddie Haskel a few times, but it worked.

I am still booked out (well over booked) 2 weeks....

Don't know if it will slow down, so I take all I can and count my blessing everyday as I listen and watch other posts....

Because, I could be in the same boat tomorrow....

Just crazy for us around here.

Heck your busy when -30. I saw a video of you climbing a hill of snow trying to get to your customers door Mark, Now that dedication.

By the way I saw more than half of your presentation at connections. I don;t think Ive ever seen a power point 240 plus pages Very Happy  It was pretty cool to see your company grow to what it is today. I have a feeling your biz will be in the family long after your gone. Kudos to you bud


PS Before you go enjoy your money Very Happy

Dang Mo....I didn't know you were there....

Wish I would have had the chance to say hi Sad

Thanks though....but that video just so you know climbing over the snow bank (well I think the one you are mentioning) was done by Richard Baldwin.....which was super funny in my opinion.

He thought I would be angry, and I laughed super huge!

But I do have a couple videos out of climbing through the snow....and it is not fun....or funny Very Happy

Thanks though MO and I really hope I get the chance to meet you in person Smile
