Let's Talk Greg Crowley

So for 2012 you are on track to gross $800,000

Are you still running 3 trucks?

If so, are they 2 man crews most of the time?

Are you doing Restoration work as well?

I'm curious, in no way am I doubting you cause its always been my belief that if you have to lie on the internet about success its just a sad state for the perpetrator.

My personal truck will gross about $230,000 this year, granted I could have done more but I'm getting old and uninspired the past few years

You're averaging over $250K per truck , and for a company as young as yours thats pretty awesome IMO

What are your 3 best CARPET SECRETS???

How can he be slow if he is bringing in 3K a day every working day, All year long.

 

[Mikey P]

where was the 800k talked about?

 

[Royal Man]

where was the 800k talked about?

Here:

mikey my numbers are pretty simple. $800,000 in business receivables of about 10g's I put away 20 for jan and then 20 for feb but didn't antispate december

 

[FB7777]

How's your year going Dave?

I bet you have been getting compliments on the van wrap on a regular basis ... Not to mention all the non spoken approval of a professional looking cleaning truck

 

[Royal Man]

Thanks.

All is well. I just got a call today while I was at the bank from a lady that saw me driving.

My plates say- "Call me" Which can't hurt.

I replaced the rear tires on that van today and now it rides like a dream.

The other ones were defective or out of balance. Going 65 felt like it had square tires on it.

Have you posted pics of the van?

As for Waffles, didn't he turn down like a million plus offer to buy his company like 2 or 3 year ago?

$800k at 25 per room over 3 vans is a feat to be proud of.

I'm worn out and looking forward to a few slow weeks after all season of taking care of the needs of mt 12 clients total.

 

[Royal Man]

If he is really only charging 25 bucks a room each van would be doing 40 rooms per day.

His guys must be exhausted!!

-A couple of pics from my cheap ass phone.

I'll post some better ones later.

 

[Becker]

Yeah, make the others you post Dave even smaller.

 

[dealtimeman]

royal i think your van looks good.

are you genterating calls from the wrap? are you traking the source of the calls?

 

[XTREME1]

It is an inflated number. It is actually closer $620,000 . I will talk to you in a bit. Not sure how I came up with $800,000 I think that is what I dreamed up

 

[XTREME1]

So for 2012 you are on track to gross $800,000

Are you still running 3 trucks? Yes we run 3 trucks

If so, are they 2 man crews most of the time? singleman on my truck and Matts truck, 2 on the third

Are you doing Restoration work as well? We do some restoration work but it uninsured home owners basicly pad replacements and cleaning no drying

I'm curious, in no way am I doubting you cause its always been my belief that if you have to lie on the internet about success its just a sad state for the perpetrator.

What are your 3 best CARPET SECRETS???

1. Be consistent in everything you do in your business. Set time aside to pursue segments of business. Do not be afraid to ask for someones business because a lot of people a looking for carpet cleaners. I have walked in more office parks and just ask the question of do they want an estimate and most of the time they are surprised how affordable it is and really want ti done. So walk through a lot of doors. Start going to schools and contact town facility managers there are some big buildings and it isn't their money

2. Quality... When you do get the job, do the absolute best job even if you f'd up the quote and the area is bigger or dirtier or whatever. You asked for the business so produce quality work even if you take a hit
.
3. Personality. I may be an ass here but out in the real world dealing with customers I am kind and affable.

 

[hogjowl]

I have noticed that most everybody who consistantly offers up their numbers on the boards is either trying to make themselves out to be a guru, or is lying, or both. Even the guys who do it while supposedly calling out someone else.

I never talk about my numbers.

Blahahaha.

Waffles at his finest.

I'm certain your numbers are nothing to brag about Marty... A stellar year for a 20+ year vet like you is in the $200,000 range I bet

There potentially is a third reason Marty... which a selfish cheapskate like yourself would obviously overlook

Giving back or paying it forward...

If it comes off as bragging then tuff shit for the losers that either think the person is lying or just acting like a guru

Does Alabama suck the life energy out of everyone or just the inbreds?

Nope Phred, you just don't have that same nasty sting you used to have any more. Try rubbing Absorbine Junior over your balls before the next post.

Success has mellowed me over the years ... although At least you admit mine were once more acerbic

Sadly yours consistently possess the scent of failure

And what is with your fascination with references to male genetalia and buttholes?

Nope Phred. You just ain't got it any more. No bite left Dude. You're not even a shell of what you once were. Pitiful.

 

[Jimmy L]

I've experienced what Phred is going thru as a man gets older.
That testosterone is pissed down the toilet and replaced by estrogen.

Happens to every man.

 

[Ken Snow]

LOL- I like to call it maturity, but you're probably more accurate Jimmy.

Don't forget the man boobs too.

[FB7777]

I hate when Ladwig is right

So Crowley , your revised Gross Sales estimate his been adjusted down by 30% to $620,000 ?

Last year you told me you did $700,000


You should still try to get on Survivor to make up the lost revenue

 

[FB7777]

I've gone from pathetic to pitiful in your eyes... I'm crushed

Why do you respond to my posts Willy, you need my approval?

I need a spray bottle to get you from nipping at my heels.

 

[XTREME1]

last year I was on pace for over $700,000. I honestly do not have a final number yet because this year I am strictly relying on a CPA now and he handles everything through Karie. It is astounding the difference in business the last few years. Just bought a building on Washington street in weymouth. Moving forward w business but having more expenses and only having 7 jobs last week is some scary shoot. I don't want to cut into my savings but it gets scary when you have a few others to worry about.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Dude quit apologizing for making $600,000 plus.

Gawddd you're brain washed just because the EX called you a loser doesn't mean you are one.

You're a loser on your own right!

Wanna bet ????

Some blokes from down under just don't let it happen "down under".



Use it or lose it.

Will you marry me Fred?
