2 paragraphs about it, no pictures like there use to be. and some manuals online. thats it mikey

 

[dealtimeman]

that is the main information we need, in those manuals.

 

[joeynbgky]

no sales brochures

 

[daniel@procarpet]

Did Marty sell his V yet?

All this talk can't ge good for used V sales.

He seems to be happy with the V's performance. Why not just increase production and be like Mikey (300k with basically one truck). Dang that's impressive.

 

[steve frasier]

I purchased mine with the hope that I would never have to buy another TM period

why doesn't Shawn just start being the parts supplier for the Vortex, buy up the parts inventory and start selling parts

 

[Mikey P]

Not really Ken Snow has 40 vans doing 300k plus each year.







but he spends $190K on marketing each one.. :shock:

 

[sweendogg]

Yeah it stinks he only made 4.4 million! :|

Vortex = money pit....suckin it down....and I thought a boat was a hole in the water you throw money in.

I'm just curious where Shawns place was here in Sandy. I work here, off 90th South.

 

[lance]

Nobody ever buys a Vortex. They all invest in one.

And since you can always sell it for more than you paid for it.......it's the "the most powerful bargain TM in the world."

And i bet a lot of V owners don't buy a new one when the old lease is up. They probably hold onto it and use it so they don't have TM payments for awhile.

yes, i hope he pulls through!

 

[Ken Snow]

Mikey, mikey while we have 44 or so total company vehicles many of those are in other areas besides our On Location Cleaning Division ie.e 2 pu & del box vans, restoration box vans, showrrom minivans, personal vehicles etc..

A few 2009 production stats from On Location Cleaning Division

Top 4 crews/trucks avg $350,208.49
Top 8 crews/trucks avg $331,916.09
Top 14 $303,511.31

advertising avg per crew/truck $15,625

 

[davegillfishing]

nice..bet those guys are pulling in some nice pay checks for running a cc truck..

we are at 187k for 1 truck and about 60k for the 2nd truck so far.
just entered our 4th year of business last week
not too bad for a new somewhat company in the economy we are in i guess.

 

[Ken Snow]

That is great Dave. I read somewhere that the avg for our industry is about $125,000 so you are doing great man!

 

[The Preacher]

FAtbouy, i'm dropping my offer on the 175 to $200, and you bring it to me!!!!!

 

[bob vawter]

GAWD..i love my Genies!!!

 

[FB7777]

so far in the PAY vs YAP cage match ...

York is way ahead on my score card

 

[Mikey P]

Which is Boyle translates to hit him below the belt Mikey!

 

[Mikey P]

and I knew that Ken, I was just seeing if you were awake.

 

[Ken Snow]

Mike~ your comment about the economy and no new units being bought and used one's being cheap seems off from my perspective.

We are buying 3 new Butlers in 3 weeks and I sold 3 (2-2003's and 1 '04) in less than a month. Each sold for 60% or more of their original purchase price. Butlers have incrdible resale value and my maintenance crew did a great job minting them out.

Ken

 

[Mikey P]

You live in Hagopian Fantasy Land Ken.


Call around to some suppliers and ask how many new TMs they sold in 08 and ask how many in 09.

 

[Ken Snow]

Not only would I not do that, but wouldn't expect anyone to tell me if I had the gonads to ask. I believe Butler had a great year, at least according to the sales manager.

 

[Mikey P]

I would bet a $99 whole house special he was lying.

 

[bob vawter]

TWO WORDS HERE!
Standardized components.......
only ONE company that i know ..did that...AND


I'M buildin' 'em!

even Butlers have proprietary blowers...among many other parts.....
AND if you buy a USED BUTLER...
go TRY and buy a part from them.....
so Ken's blowing smoke up yor skirt as well..........

no, it means quit jabbing like a California fruit

if you have the shots then take them,

cuz right now your ' a salesman lied to me' assault is a sissy slap


You are the guy that touted the V as the #1 cleaning unit in the industry... how many units did youhelp sell without all the facts?



if York used the V to carve up lil puppies and throw them in a dumpster with all the old Vortex parts then lets hear it
