If we don't think about staying competitive the newbie hack of tomorrow and well run franchised operations will own this industry and set the terms to which it operates.
I know you're a sharp businessman, Randy
so lemmie ask,
what will be the "industry terms" they'll be setting?
Pricing at razor thin margins that are only worthwhile to large volume ?
what would the average Damon, Cooper, Matt, Russ, TomDik 'n Larry do to remain completive in this changing world?
I'm a terrible businessman (fo-reel)
But is there really anything new under the sun?
I've heard lots of things that would kill us over the years
Stain Master
Cradle to grave mills getting in the biz
JanSan and CINTAS dominating the com CC'ing market
CRI certs/standards ...or you're toast
the new boogieman that'll kill the average
conscientious O/Op, is what exactly ???
LargeVol Stan's of the world offering more for less with the most efficient equipment?
Well organized/well funded armies armed with low overhead vacs, brushes and squirt boxes?
(both with large budget marketing
sustainable recour$e$ )
not being a smartazz...honest question to you and other sharp bizmen , what does the future hold that's really so different from now?
what's going to kill or cripple the average priced
conscientious O/Op?
thanks
