While you guys were having informative discussions and learning from each other in person at Myrtle Beach... us minions taking it all in from Yahoo Live felt left out of the prize receiving.... unfortunately we could not just 'wander' up to the table and "pick a prize, any prize"... lol :D

I decided to have 'ron-style' quickfire email giveaway of a $50 gas card... I was inundated with responses.....

....
.....
....

3 Emails !!!! lol

Anyways here it is...



$50 gas card going to Jason Boushard of Atlantic Pro Wash (he's the guy that likes to eat all his meals live on Yahoo Live!!! :p )

Seriously though, it's great to hear such positive reports from the RT... if I can say one thing, put the advice into practice - it will have no use just rattling about in your brain or scribbled on paper. Use it to make your business grow and this industry grow!!
 
hey john

nice chatting to you... loved the mac vs PC battle... I win!!! lol :D

you were 2nd behind Jason... :(

we were on just about all day - it has already been said, but thanks to Kory and Jeff for their efforts to keep us in the loop.




... you know it was all because the PC's were breaking down and full of viruses!! :p
 
Your Great Steve. I posted what you did for the round table, truly cool of you thanks again. Once again for those that don't know. Steve CLEANFAST USA gave 2, $50.00 gift certs for Home Depot

Ron has the list of winners I'm sure it will be posted when he gets back to his homebase

THANKS STEVE

Ya i think the only bad thing about the rt was the way the prizes were "distributed"

You talking about the way how they ended up just randomly being handed out close to the end? I hear ya, but oh well, luck is never on my side, and it was definatelly still worth the trip and more!
 
Thanks Steve (and I only eat when you guys start talking about food lol)
wife says she won it lol I am going to use the gas to put out flyers and to build the bis. I think I won more than that I met you and several others I have not met yet and got lots of good info. I cant wait to put this info to use.

What?! Ron was basicly begging ANYONE to get into the hose roll compition which would have won you at least a 50' hose. At the time of comp there was what only 5 out of 10 people needed to do it. I myself only begruginly did it (ask Ron) and came in 2nd. Would have won if I'd actually tried. I don't roll hoses (still didn't do it very well ask Mat) and didn't think I had a chance I just wanted the hose. Ron can verify that.
With that said I wished some of the gift certificats were in bigger denomiations instead of a bunch of 30.00 or 50.00 ones. (now I did see one 100.00 from Sun Bright) I understand they were trying to spread it around but as we saw no one wanted them because you would have to put more of your money with it than the coupon was worth just to use it. IMO If a vendor puts up a 500.00 gift cert just have one 500.00 gift cert. Or at most two 250.00's. Do somebody some good and actually get something you could "Win" that you could use. Most of those certs never get used but thats a whole other issue that can get twisted and we should be and maintain nothing but appreciative of ALL VENDORS that show up bringing ANYTHING and make themselfs available. Kudo's to you guys.

... if anyone has got any $30 or $50 vendor gift certificates that they don't want, I can give them a good home - if it pays for the shipping or gets me a bunch of O-rings, nozzles, tape, fittings, etc. I would be happy!!! :D

While larger denomination certificates would be greatly received, vendors run businesses aswell - yes, they may get some exposure at the event, but by spreading the goodies they also open the door to more customers.

Would you rather give away one 7,000 sq.ft flat work or residential job, or 10 driveway cleans? Perhaps the big job would lead to a tonne of work, but 10 driveway cleans could lead to 10 housewashes - do a good job and you've got 10 people saying good things about your company and recommending you to their peers... just a thought.

MudDuck, I know where you're coming from - but vendors don't have to support our events... I think the UAMCC pointed out that their success and industry success depends on the contribution and effort of all stakeholders...

Vendors, your support is very much appreciated....

:eek: So when is someone going to give away a decked out rig and truck?!?!?! :eek:

True brother Ron was trying. All are good ideas and next year if these vendors that did help a lot, I would ask them to split it in half probably instead of litte amounts and I bet they wouldnt mind at all. Thanks vendors. Some good ideas, keep them coming. I want to go to someone elses RT I would of won that hose rolling contest, I didnt want to make you all look bad at my RT, just a bunch of Girly men that day rolling hoses:p Ha Ha Ha I crack myself up
 
bring it on. I can see it now in Mesa, the battle of the round tables with all that present rolling hoses, including Ron. That could bereally entertaining.
