A new Marketing Plan???

[Pete]

SS has to generate an enormous amount of work over the course of a year. In my opinion they are a very good marketing company and at least in my area a not so good carpet cleaning company. When we go to a job that SS has done before us we end up with the client because yes we charge more but we actually clean the carpet. This is what we hear Wow its dry already and clean to. SS was only here for 30 minutes. You guys took 90. I set our prices because of the cost to do work and the profit I wanted to make. It took me a couple of years but we now have set prices that I could send any one to a job and they could quote it. We charge by the SF and I prefer it to X $ for an area. I do not compete with SS. There are only a few companys in the area that can give the service that we provide and there is plenty of work for all if we go look for it. I worry more about the 3 rooms for 50$ guys that give us all a bad name and drive the prices down and then go out of business or to jail. Did I answer your Q or did I just ramble?
