Knowlege is Good

On Saturday our staff enjoyed a nice treat

I hired one of my favorite instructors (Bob Wittkamp) to come and teach a class to our crew.

Here's a photo of Bob teaching in a small meeting room at our office...



It's great living in the same town with the carpet cleaning "guru".

Everyone enjoyed learning a bunch of cool info from one of the industry's finest.

Thanks Bob!

How much extra to wear a suit?

December 12 2005, 3:56 PM 

So how much extra did he charge to wear a suit? LOL! I agree it is great to have such an expert close at hand. My first certification classes were given by Bob. I've since attended a couple of others but they weren't as informative about the things you really need to know about cleaning as the ones Bob held.

I've had my differences in opinion with Bob on issues in the past but when the test of time has been applied he usually proves to be right. I guess I'm just hard headed.

Bob has definately gotten me headed in the right direction and I appreciate everything he's done for me.

If you ever get a chance to meet with him or need someone to do internal training, Bob is time and money well spent.

Hey I was surprised to see him in a suit too.
He cleans up pretty nice nice doesn't he?

I guess since we paid him $28,000 for the class, he felt obliged to pay a visit to Armani before coming to see us
