Mikey, How Long Did It Take You......

[R W]

To make your first Million with the mighty Vortex? We all know that your prices are among the top here on the board, so I'm guessing maybe 3-3 1/2 years?


This question also pertains to other single truck operators. When did the million mark come?

 

[Guest]

The question is "how much did it cost you to use it"

 

[Ken Snow]

It has as much or more to do with Volume than pricing. At .80 a sq foot, if you only clean 200,0000 its only 160k, but if you clean 4,000,000 at .25 a sq its a million bucks.

Really all that ultimately matters is what's left after all the expenses are paid, the other crap is just bragging rights.

Let's sneak in here before Mikey sees this, I'm gonna go with 24mo. of using the V and helper to hit 1 mil in his area.

I would say 36-40. You all know carpet cleaners are full of it anyway
the smart ones fly under the radar.

 

[Chris Muetterties]

3.2 years

Do you mean gross a million or a million in the bank?

I'm just talking single truck, multiple helpers. A well staffed Vortex set up for 2-3 wands can put out some production! So can a Genesis.

Plus.....Mike does a lot of hard surface cleaning, with sealing or color sealing mark ups. That's where the good money comes on.

 

[Mikey P]

Chris nailed it.

Roughly.


but like I said in my Molly thread, lees and less hours on the V these days.

and for you nosy bastards, my cost of doing biz is roughly 30%. Including KSJ, chems, tm lease, fuel, maintenance and all the rest.

 

[Guest]

Mines,hell I dont know,I just know it aint anywhere near yours,so just think of how much you have to work just to break even,then just think of me flying to Europe every month

 

[Mikey P]

Bring me back some stinky cheese.

 

[ronbeatty]

Mike has it right, less hours more money. Works for me. :mrgreen:

 

[Mikey P]

Do I need to remind you that you that you were sucking Tre's weenie just a few short weeks ago there Mr Good Judge Of Character?

 

[Desk Jockey]
