Shaw Chooses Quality Over
Quantity
Only Certified Firms Permitted to work on Warranted Products
Shaw Industries, the largest manufacture of floor covering in America,
has announced that Starting January 1, 2008, that all residential carpet
with a warranty will have new parameters for which a consumer will have
to adhere. First and foremost, to maintain warranty coverage,
professional companies must be IICRC Certified Firms by this date in
order to be compliant.
Now we have Word that not only are some provisions moved effective
January 1, 2007, but Mowhawk and Beailieu are joining Shaw with
comparable warranty requirements. Will you be caught short, explaining
to your customers that you cannot clean in compliance with their
warranty?

Fast Track One Day to Real Money
Developing a blueprint for growth,
freedom, and profits in your cleaning business. A new one-day class
for owners & managers only.
Why is this class for Owners and Managers only?
There are a few important reasons that we don't think it is a good
idea for your technicians to come to this class:
• They can be in the field earning you money with the techniques
that they learned in the IICRC class
• Much of the material is about business management. You will be
learning techniques that will make your business more profitable and
easier to manage. This is material that is directed at owners and
managers for you to train your technicians exactly how you want your
company to do it.
• You will also learn the most profitable things that you and your
techs can do. These are techniques and products on which you can
easily train your employees.
• When you understand that the FASTTRACK ONE DAY TO REAL MONEY class
requires a certain typer of employee to implement, you may realize
that your current technicians need to change or they need to be
replaced. This is not exactly the message that you want your
technicians to hear in a classroom setting.
So what is this class about?
Rob Hanks, President of Bridgepoint Systems is famous for saying,
"Carpet cleaning makes a crappy hobby". This class is about working
smart, doing the most profitable things and making your business
into something special.
IF ANY OF THESE STATEMENTS BELOW APPLY TO YOU, YOU NEED THE
FASTTRACK ONE DAY TO REAL MONEY CLASS.
• I have created a hard, low paying job for myself. If you feel that
you are living the life that may not be even as good as your
employees, you need to attend this class.
• I can't keep the employees that I have, let alone find good ones
to replace them. If your company is not structured to give your
associates a good lifestyle, you need to let Doug teach you how to
change.
• My equipment is wearing down at the same rate as my resolve. This
is a symptom of poor business structure and low profits. Let Doug
teach you and inspire you. |
