How about Feb. right before the season begins for most states so the info. is fresh in our minds. I`m so far in to clean a motels roof. That will be an experience that will long be remembered. Kipp
Florida Is a hike for me as well, but I will do my best to make the money
My season generally ends on Dec. 20th and restarts March 1st, but I plan to start carpet cleaning and painting this winter so I guess any Date will work for me.
Except this winter was especially cold.
I have Sample roof pieces I made 5'x8', you can spray them with Milk of Magnesia and Moss mixed in a blender. The whole piece will grow moss all over it in a few months for easy portable demonstration pieces. (its not algae but will show the SH effectivness)
Maybe I will just drive down to save money. 15 hr drive never hurt anyone right ?? It would be well worth it.
Let me know what I can do to help. I am pretty good at Person-person and business-business sales, and point of sale presentations. I also have done a lot of door-door and direct sales. We nail most of our bids with extreme honesty, negotiable comprhensive pricing, Solid guarentees, and a willingness to research customer questions rather than make up an answer. (They love that last one)
Also a presentation for the Power washer and Roof cleaner hybrid business would be great as there are a lot of us here.
I will be addressing this soon, Chris. We will all need to pitch in and do what little or lot that we can COLLECTIVELY do together, to bring this Round table to Fruition and reality.
That is why we MUST first pick a FIRM date then everything else can start to fall into place.
WE need a FIRM date for ALL so that the most RCIA members can attend. Lets get that ouit of the way so we have the MODT member participation possible.
We need a minimum of 50 participants to make this cost effective IMHO.
My PRIORITIES are geting the RCIA LOGO handled and finalized first.
Then, the RCIA Round table.
I submiitted changes for ther LOGO yesterday and will hopefully hear something back soon and will post any revisions as soon as they are received.
I have a lot of work to do today, Gotta run.
Have a profitable day all!
Dave

Tucker and David: from the majority of replies, it doesn't seem like one single month will be good for everyone. But, it does appear that either late October, or Early November would be best for the folks who can make it.
It may be a good idea to see about group discount rates at Busch Gardens, waterparks, etc. for those roof cleaners who will be bringing their families. My family is coming, and will spend their leisure time at the beach, while I spend my leisure time with the Band of Brothers.
Anyway, one of you let me know how I can help, and I'll be glad to. Marketing, whatever.
It is July 31 and August 1st. These RT's are planned WAY in advance. Sometimes a year or more. To date there are about 75-100 contractors going. With that many it will make it the biggest event yet.
Technically, we are riding the coat tails of the Power Washer EXPO on the July -Aug event.
The 1st Annual RCIA event, meaning the first event we will headline will be held at the end of November.
God Willing all goes as planned. It is a work in progress. We will possibly still enlist the help of the organizers of the Power Washers expo as well for the Nov. event. We are still fleshing this out.
I'm buried up to my elbows in moss and gutter cleaning that time of the year. All of our pretty green leaved trees end up on the roofs and in the gutters when our "annual maintenance plans" are in effect. BUT, I will do my best to try and attend if possible. This is something that is truly valuable!
That two thumbs up. i am looking forward to seeing you guys again and meating some of the new folks. There are only 22 Seats left so register ASAP so your not left out! Seats are only $25 per person!
I am sorry that my plans have changed for my summer. As I had that suddenly my wife's 20th High School Reunion has come into play for the dates you have me speaking. We will be in Texas the week of the roundtable.
I was looking forward to encouraging other entrepreneurs in our industry to keep on keeping on in this hard economy and sharing some of my history with Mallard Systems and my other endeavors. I love to speak at these types of events and this will be counted as a loss for me personally.
I'm Sure you can appreciate the dog house I would be in since the roundtable is taking place the same day as the reunion...
Please extend my heart felt sentiments to our other cleaning industry proffesionals and I'm sure we will get an opportunity to do all of this again sometime soon. I have included a certificate for one days fishing with me that you can raffle off. Maybe this will make up in some small way for the inconvenience.
With Appreciation, AC Lockyer
The up side is you can win a chance to go fishing and get one on one time with AC. I was really looking forward to listening to AC speak. I will make sure he speaks at the next event. __________________
