Just a brief note about the UAMCC forum. Last evening the Vbulletin software was compromised. If you go the forum you'll see a cute little message. There is nothing I can do at this point to restore as I do not store backup files locally. We are awaiting our hosting provider restoring our last...

I am working on a banner for the UAMCC forum page. The graphic that came with the template is a little corny and I have been searching through my files for something appropriate. A picture I think would be cool would be a closeup of a surface cleaner with steam pouring out from underneath it. I...

I talk to guys from other indutries and trades and they are amazed at how we, as washers, are banding together and strengthening our position as business people. We can actually consider ourselves unique as a whole. Great things are going to come from these round tables. I foresee pressure...

Brian Phillips owns a painting contracting company in Texas called Philpaint Inc. He is the author of the "Out Of The Bucket" program of systems and business management.

Of course this year I am getting ready to reintroduce a dedicated commercial division and now I am not so sure that's a great idea. Many of you guys (Ron, Scott, Russ etc) have weathered some ups and downs since you have been doing this for awhile. The general consensus I hear amongst the trades...

I originally posted this on the Grime Scene but some guys may not have read it. ________________________________________________________ Numbers analysis is a tricky thing. There are guys that will take up arms when you say their company nets 25%. These are usually one man shows and are...

Everyone can be effective at making a sale as long as they accept what works for one, may not work for others. I have a discussion started at my board about this topic. I am not averse to discussing here but I want to first get a feel for everyone's personality type and some may not feel...
