    Let Me Ask You A Question...... Business/Detailing.... Ranting

    Ok Agians,


    As you may know, I just split up my original company of B & B and started my own deal. Why did I do this? Because of poor in house practices (that I could not change) that was hindering our growth.


    I take an employee with me and offer him 25% of revenue of Bates Detailing. With that said, we booked over 6,000 this week alone. To do the math for you he would make over $1,500 in a week. He has put in maybe 8 hours a day because of excuses and called out today - while I have been working 15 hours a day to get everything done! I can't get a hold of him to see if he will come to work tomorrow! We have 5 Semis, a plane, and a bus tomorrow!!!! Im getting irritated as could be.

    I may need a detailer that gives to further this company - anybody here willing to actually put the effort in to make great money for detailing? Or am I asking to much? Honest opinions please?!?!?!?

    Dagnabbit Anthony. I would truly like to work toe-to-toe with you on these projects...but I've got too many irons in the fire and momma will kill me if I get too far from Maryland. SC is too far in her eyes.

    Good luck and best wishes...it will work out hand...it always does

    Wish I could help you bro . I'm in the middle of fixing another companies detail shop that had the same problem. They couldn't get anyone to do any work now I have a good guy in there. Been training for that last few weeks and setting up their shop.

    Good luck Anthony. That's unfortunate to hear that your worker cant be counted on.

    Too bad we dont have any members in your area to help you out.

    Hi Anthony...

    Darn it to Hades and back!!
    Why is that having good employees/partners is such an anomaly?

    I realize that as a society, we’re taught to be nice to people and they're suppose to be nice to us.
    That concept doesn’t always apply to the workplace where performance is necessary
    and hard to accomplish when everyone doesn't show-up or display enthusiasm.

    It may be a little tough on you to relay that message to this errant employee/partner.
    But I bet it's also hard to feel warm and fuzzy about someone who has left you in such a bind.

    -I don't know all of the details of B&B's splitting-up...
    But I hope there were no bridges burned.

    With that being said:
    Are you able to call upon the "other half's owner and staff" for a little temporary assistance in this time of need?

    I know that surety can be fleeting; but with your belief-system:
    You'll come through this crisis and your Business will be the better for it!

    Not a bad deal for someone...Hell, maybe I'll return to Franklin

    Out of curiosity, how old is this guy? Sounds like a younger guy and earned a decent check and wants to take the time to blow it.
