anyone know about this?

I do not know this guy but it sounds like a franchise to me.
 
Doubt it is a franchise but I bet if you call him and ask what agency accepts his CERTIFACATIONS he won't be able to mention one state that does.

Seems like there are a lot of people willing to part with hard earned money for this super sales guy.

Check him out someone and report back to us. Best person would be David, Grant or Matt since that is their business.
 
ok

Are you freakin kidding me. I'm doing this all wrong. I need to start a school. Ok, I will train you and set you up with a piece of crap system and everything you will need to do it, for only 20,000. Come on, give me a break. I have 10 times the system at about 10 grand less. I guess there is a sucker borne everyday.
 
and 200 a shot. no wonder, that is awfully close to lowballing. I don't get less than 300 for each fan and shaft. And what about that guy with 45 resturants in his first month. Give me a freaking break. Think about that, that's more than one a night. I find this awfully hard to believe. but that's just me i guess. And another thing, what's with this certificate? I think that this is a load of crap. I read all those posts about Rusty and this and that, but now I know the truth. He is a salesman plain and simple. How are people going to react when that little rinky dinky PWer quites after a month or two, and they have 50 resturants that they haven't gotten paid for yet, but still need to clean. I suppose they are going to be pretty hot under the collar.
 
Seems like the guys who offer to certify you are like the mail order ministry ordinations. the certifacations means nothing. One guy was offering NFPA certifications on Dave's BBS, I asked him how he could offer NFPA certification. He explained the process. My next posting I mentioned that NFPA did not certify any thing. He replied that I did not know what I was talking about. My next post was concluded with my NFPA membership number. I heard nothing more about his inflated claims about being NFPA certified to certify others. Unless the certifiacation is from an agency that is involved in lisencing, the certifiaction means very little. None of those offering certifiacations tell which jurisdiction recognize the certifiacations.

I think certification is a good way to tell your customer that you have been through some kind of training. I also think it would be a good idea for newbies to take some training. I took Daryl's class several years ago and in 6 molnths the knowledge I gained paid for my expenses. Just don't try to tell me that some 3 to 5 day class is going to make you an expert. I have been in business for some time now and am still learning about the trades I am involved in. Some day maybe I can feel comfortable in claiming to be an expert.

This e-bay auction is from a guy in Tennessee, any bets on who it is? he talks a good story, and has even told us that lots of people have graduated from his course and how great his people do. yet for all of his claims, none of his graduates have ever told us how great their business is. I would like to see proof that the graduates of these certification businesses stay in business any longer than those of who have not paid the $8,000.00

I live in TN and went to the BBB website since he had the BBB logo on his ad. Couldn't find hide no hair of him. But that may be his ebay operation that is supposed to be there and not the hood cleaning operation???
 
Save your money!
 
Ebay has a policy of deleting and blocking phoney or illegal sales and businesses.

If he does not truly exist as a legal business turn him in to Ebay and they will deal with him.

He is probably someone who failed in business, hench that picture of one account burning, probably his job.

Call him and play that same game with him about NFPA and see what he claims.
 
Here we go again...........

We've had this same discussion somewhere last year............I think it was on this bbs, and the guy joined and posted on the bbs to defend himself.

Do a search.

I think he might have even posted some pics on the members photo section, not sure.
