We run a full service shop that includes drain cleaning. As you prolly know, drain cleaners are not necessarily plumbers.

That said, send me a PM with your address and I will send you our P & L Statement, our price book, some marketing materials that have proven very effective, and a copy of our business plan. Hopefully that will answer all of your questions and get you to profitability in no time flat.

We worked many years developing this through hard work/experience and would love to share with anyone who needs this help because we are nice like that.

I would like to apologize to the two who sent me PM's requesting the information. I too was being sarcastic.

Many of us on PZ will gladly help out another business owner and share information. However, certain information is not going to be posted for everyone (the general public) to see.

Typically the amount of information shared is directly related to how much you give to the forum. Joining without an intro. and asking proprietary information almost always will prompt a sarcastic response.

It may seem childish if you are new to the forum, but you must understand that no one wants to be sharing information with a possible competitor in their service area.

Once again, I apologize for any misunderstanding and encourage the two who sent PM's to participate on PZ. When membership warms up to you, you will have established relationships and have access to a wealth of information that is not available anywhere else on the internet. And you can't beat the price - FREE!
