The new ITA

Hot off the presses is the news that seven trade associations for the carpet cleaning and disaster restoration industries have collaborated and formed an international trade association called the "Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Association".

The groups doing this are: SCRT, MCRA, MSPCA, PACR, CRA, NYRCI and NEIRC.

It will be interesting to see what develops, how this will bring the industry closer together and help companies succeed.

Of course (personal plug here) all carpet cleaning and disaster restoration companies need solid carpet cleaning marketing program and disaster restoration marketing program to succeed. You can get those at Totally Booked University.

Don't miss a special disaster restoration marketing event in Tampa on Friday, February 10! Water damage marketing will be especially highlighted.

The Clean Trust

Well, I was there last Friday when this was announced to the instructors. It has gotten ugly since, but I have to wonder: What will the reaction be in 3 months?

Off to Connections

Well, I'm packed and getting ready to do another Las Vegas trip. Connections should be good. I have a carpet cleaning marketing seminar on Friday, only 45 minutes, hope I can stay within that time frame!

Be sure to look at my carpet cleaning and disaster restoration marketing workshop schedule.

Fun times in Chicago

Well, I'm heading to Chicago this morning for an CRCII dinner meeting tonight and then Totally Booked University (www.cleaningprofessor.com) tomorrow (Friday, August 12). I was told that tonight's dinner meeting was to be some kind of pizza party. The question: Will the pizza be fantastic Chicago style or Pizza Hut? :)

Totally Booked University in St. Louis

Totally Booked University (www.totallybookeduniversity.com) is going on right now in St. Louis. A nice group of carpet cleaning and restoration entrepreneurs. I'm trying to post a YouTube video of a neat restoration marketing skit... computer troubles right now, but hopefully soon...
