Thinking of trying a new pricing structure, need help.

This industry and organizations like the iicrc and cri should be educating the public better.  The carpet mills of america should be educating the public better and we cleaners should be educating better.  The crappy polyester carpets that are being sold in box stores keeps increasing in popularity due to a lack of real education and let's face it, that same carpet will not last 7 years before becoming lifeless and ugly.

If all parts of this industry (mills, iicrc, cri, cleaners, etc.) decided to make it a point to educate the public on these matters, we wouldn't see cut-throat pricing nor would we have to work around the clock trying to make a living.

In the end, I guess it is our fault.
