This was an awesome event. It was nice getting to meet some new people and see some old friends. Thank you Tom King and family for hosting this wonderful event. Thanks also to Mike, Bill Yeadon and Brian for the panel discussion.
That's the best thing to come out of this for me too. Tom and his girls and some woman from Cincinnati I think she said she really liked. I was so out of it from lack of sleep I wasn't retaining much. She got the most out of it and is now excited about helping me. She doesn't do social media at all so going to an event was the only thing that would have ever worked.

AJ you two are welcome to come up anytime. Lets get something on the books. Your the next success story!
Thanks guys for an awesome event! We don't make many industry events so it was great to finally meet some great folks for the first time and see some old friends. Tom, you and Karen and your staff are kicking ass! Getting a little glimpse of how you have set up your growing business was a huge benefit to us. Let's just say Steph and I's dinner conversation was very animated last night!

Great turnout! It appears that a bulk of the attendees are regional cleaners? I wonder if you could make the mini MF an entirely regional event and do four of these a year in different parts of the US?

We may do this again next year out Tom's way. Just about perfect location both shop and geographical. You west coast MFrs will have to catch the red eye..
Brian Hanna donated his location for a future date as well.
Saturday was about perfect although I wished we had done two days and had more advanced notice. We could have had most of the worthy vendors there and 3 more classes.
I also wish I could have had more time with Tom's crew. We spent about four or more hours at a large home with all sorts of hard surface work to be done, cleaning, sealing, removal and replacement of silicone etc.
But..
I wanted to spend more time on stone ID, problem solving/stripping, handling the initial phone call with his office staff etc. The more I think about it them more bummed I get. I feel like they were short changed, but we did what we could with the time allotted. His crew have my number and I look forward to their calls..
Tom's was an incredibly gracious host and a great employer. He really cares about his guy's happiness and success, It was awesome to see it first hand.
It was my pleasure to help all of them out...
Who's next?

Caitlin handle all the logistics, the guys had things running smoothly and Brianna did a great job with registration.We may do this again next year out Tom's way.

You guys on the board have helped us greatly over the years. Thank You
It was good to have Mike all to ourselves for 2 days. Our team may not be where he wants us to be but we are well equipped and challenged to bring better service and offer more services to our clients. It will be fun to see our team prosper.
We look forward to hosting again. I know our staff will have lots of ideas to grow this event.
I got 2 ideas from my conversations that will help us grow and make more money!
Thanks Mike for your time.
Thanks to Bill for your friendship and mentoring
Thanks to Kevin from ProChem, Martin from Rug Tech, Big West Marketing,CTI Pros choice,
Thanks Brian and Tom for sharing a few thoughts on Managing your team.

Thanks will do! Your presentation had me embarrassed how out of focus I was on so many things. My current day job and other less important things in life has had me way to stressed and distracted. Seeing your success and matter of fact way of talking about how it's done was very encouraging. Bill's time was also motivating, he's so good at what he does. I will be getting a few more of my ducks in a row and calling you.
As I told her a few times I couldn't believe how lucky we were to go to something like that so close to home and it was free. I wished I had a way to give to an event but the best we could come up with was some her gourmet cupcakes she makes at her moms cupcake shop lol next time...
Man I couldn't drive another minute. Had my SO drive me in her car once I got to my hometown.

Quote of the day. Caitlin was sharing about her time in the office with some of the ladies. " So many of your problems would be taken care of if you just started using Service Monster"
Thanks to Joe from SM for getting us demo versions for folks to work with.
