That phrase usually turns me on, but not in this context 😉
Re: One Man Biz @ Home?
Martin wrote:I think for the ‘one man operation’ it may be worth considering a stock holding of one machine? The reason I say that is very often a sale can only be finalised ‘on the spot’ or the moment you write an old machine off! (BER). Your customer being faced with a machine in her kitchen that doesn’t work will very likely go for the UKW machine as long as you hold one in stock ready for immediate delivery. Otherwise she is away to ‘the sheds’ as the “greenfield 5 day delivery” might kill the deal.
I agree, it reminds me of the several times I sold washing machines to customers whom I’d visited to look at a repair whilst on my way to deliver a new washing machine. Because I also had others in stock back at base, I was often able to sell the one I was on my way to deliver because I could “deliver” a new one immediately. My experience of selling washing machines showed me that if you haven’t got one in stock you are likely to lose the sale.
Re: Questions
Apologies if this has been covered, but what exactly is different about this machine from others available on the market that can be attributed directly to your input and requests?
Re: UK Whitegoods Washer Project Explained
I sent in the application using the excell spreadsheet 4 or 5 days ago. How long before I hear anything and can access the project x forum please?
Re: Philips freezer (my own) needs compressor but model no g
Thanks for the replies guys. I have a fridge engineer who could do it. I’d forgot about the old gas although I can get one of those bags for disposing of it. I was wondering if it would be economical or not. It’s been a great little freezer. The only thing I don’t like about it is the lack of an audible alarm so on several occasions when someone’s left the door not closed properly it’s defrosted on us as it just lights one of the neon’s up.
If I had to buy a new one, I’d prefer a top quality one that’s likely to last at least 10 years.

It’s not actually a chest freezer, it’s 32 inches (82cm) high and 22 inches (56cm) wide
Re: Repairs@ Module
No problem K 🙂 I found a neat little utility called WebSiteGear that allows you to monitor clicks within a page that go to an external site. I’m sure it could be done with php or a cgi script but I haven’t found time to look into it properly as it looks fairly involved. This is simple to use, with graphs and stats (although about $6 a month.)
The trouble is that a web sites logs show every stat except how many people click an external link within a page, so this is very useful to have. For example I have an arrangement with a company who pays me a set fee each month but I had no way before of knowing how many people clicked on my links to his site. I could see how many people read the page with the link on – and he will see how many came to his site from me from his logs. But now I can see how many go there, which is great 🙂

What about Washerhelp? My stats show 268 people clicked on the repairs@ link this month 🙂
Re: UK Whitegoods Washer Project Explained
Yes. I’m very interested. Exciting times. It’s a shame I couldn’t get to the meeting. I fully intended to come but fate stepped in again.
Re: UK Whitegoods Washer Project Explained
If they are as good as they sound I could sell loads on Washerhelp. Maybe for commission?
Re: UK Whitegoods Washer Project Explained
This news is very exciting. However, there isn’t a lot of information about who is making the washing machines and what they look like etc.
Re: Do you get penalised for being good?
Phidom wrote:Bryan has a good point, there are some customers you are better off without so why resort to bull$hit methods in order to keep them?
I very much agree, but there are others that are good customers, but so out of touch with what the manufacturers charge that they don’t realise the value for money the independants can offer. Some just need a few facts pointing out.
