You Are MISSING OUT on The Most Valuable Business Building Program in the Carpet Cleaning Industry Today!

Dear Friend and Client,

You are missing out on the most valuable program in the carpet cleaning industry today. 163 of my clients (perhaps one of your direct competitors) have learned new ways to make more money while working less in this program. They have taken their business to the next level by being a member.

What about you? Are you reaching your goals?

Do you remember why you went into business for yourself? You may say it was to "make a lot of money". Even though it’s true that you can make a lot of money owning your own business, that’s not the real reason you went into business. That was only PART of the picture.

The real reason you went into business for yourself…

was to "chart your own course"… to be your own boss… to have a little more "free time".

Instead, you got a 24 hour a day/7 day a week… J-O-B!

Do we even remember how to spell VACATION? Oh, I get it. Vacation was the last time you went to a training class!! Do you see what has happened? The real reason you went into business for yourself has all but vanished.

How can you possibly reclaim that lost time?

You can’t. But you can change your future. You can begin doing things differently. You can begin to IMPLEMENT the proven SYSTEMS that highly successful business owners have put into action.

The reason most small businesses don’t work... F.T.I.

If you are like the majority of small business owners, you know what to do and how to do it, but you just don’t do it!

Most small businesses in America fail. The reason they don’t work is what I call F.T.I. "Failure To Implement". We know what to do and how to do it, but we just don’t do it. Remember that the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people DO what unsuccessful people DON’T. Not that they can’t, just that they don’t or won’t. Success is not just knowing what to do or knowing how to do it… success is DOING IT… it’s called implementation.

So, why do most small business owners fail to implement?  

FTI is a result of several possibilities. One reason it occurs is what we call in the South "puredee laziness". I’m originally from L.A. (Lower Alabama!). If you are lazy, nothing will work for you.

I don’t think laziness is your biggest roadblock. You probably work day and night. You work hard. You put in lots of hours. You go the extra mile for your client. Day or night, you’re there.  

If that’s not the reason that FTI is occurring in your business, perhaps there are other reasons…

Other Interests. Maybe you are more interested in your hobbies or you get distracted by doing things around the house.  

Family Problems. Maybe there are health issues or family scheduling problems that keep you from working "on" the business.

Lack of Focus. Maybe you are simply unfocused, unorganized, and so overwhelmed that it’s difficult to focus on something long enough to get anything done. Brush fires pop up that demand your attention, and the project you were working on goes by the wayside.

Lack of Motivation. One of the biggest problems that business owners experience is "burn out". Even highly successful business owners experience burn out and become unmotivated.

But motivation alone is NOT ENOUGH for long term, sustained success! The key to long term success is…

So, what do highly successful business owners have that other’s don’t? What is it that highly successful business owners DO that others DON’T? Why do some companies grow by leaps and bounds and others don’t?

They have ONE important trait that anyone can have…

INSPIRATION. They are inspired about their business. They are excited about their day. They are inspired about their future. They are INSPIRED to achieve. They are INSPIRED about the possibilities.

They are INSPIRED to IMPLEMENTATION.  

You see, when someone is excited about the possibilities and not overwhelmed by the obstacles, they implement. They eliminate F.T.I. in their businesses.

How the Most Valuable Program in the Carpet Cleaning Industry Will Get You Out of the Rut and Put You On A Success Path You Never Dreamed Possible!

If you are serious about your business, and you want to take it to the next level… if you want to experience a level of success that you never thought possible… if you want to get out of the rut and be re-energized and excited about your business.. I have GREAT NEWS!

I have created a support system that will help you achieve your goals

The good news is that I have developed a member only program called the Howard Partridge Inner Circle that Includes 52 Weeks of Implementation where you learn my systems step-by-step, week-by-week and have myself and a support group of others that encourage you and hold you accountable.

The Most Effective Training and Accountability System Ever Conceived…

 

Weekly Small Group Implementation Meetings

What Would Happen to Your Business if You Had a Short Meeting EVERY WEEK  to Stay Focused on YOUR Goals?

When I was building my carpet cleaning company, one of the most effective things we did was to get together every week for a "Manager’s" Meeting. Even today, one of the most effective implementation methods is weekly meetings. If you have a staff meeting every 30 days, it allows too much time to drift in between. And if you miss a meeting, 60 days goes by and you practically have to do an overhaul!

Of course, I can’t meet one on one every week with every member. 

So, I created a solution…

Not only do I have a solution. I have already implemented and tested the solution. I have already proven that it works. Several months ago I assembled my Inner Circle Members into small group that meet the same time every week. The group has a facilitator and each person reports on their goals. Talk about accountability! The group keeps one another accountable! What a KICK in the BUTT! I now have several groups up and running.

We Have Seen MORE IMPLEMENTATION than EVER Before!

Over the last 9 years I have seen quite a few people purchase modules and just sit them on the shelf. Without accountability and encouragement, they never used the gold mine that was within an arms length. Instead, they continued on a path of mediocrity, making the same mistakes over and over.

The Weekly Small Groups has changed all of that. Each member shares their goals (no competitors are in your group). Others speak into their life and share ideas and encouragement. Next week, we come back to the group to share our successes. It’s amazing how well it works.

Learn My Entire System in "Bite" Size Pieces…

Another thing I see is that carpet cleaners are on INFORMATION OVERLOAD. As I said, some haven’t even opened the packages they bought.

Ugh!

I am coming to realize what I have known in my heart all along…

You can’t eat the whole elephant at once!

You have to take it a slice at a time. You have to digest it and let it sink in. What we find is that people are chasing all kinds of new things when they don’t have the basics down. Or, they are so overwhelmed that they get "paralysis of analysis".

Let’s take another approach. Imagine learning my system one small piece at a time. STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING. And building upon the right foundation.

Every week you learn one piece of my proven system.

Participate in a Weekly Small Group, listen in on my Weekly Tele-Classes, and download the Weekly Action Plan and Support Materials to insure easy implementation. After 52 weeks, you will have implemented my entire system into your business.

My Goal: In 52 Weeks, You are Completely Systemized and Exceeding Your Goals!

Where were you a year ago? Is your business significantly better that it was then? If not, I want you to imagine for just a moment, your business one year from now. 52 weeks from now, what would you like your business to look like? Imagine your business as it "should be", not as it actually is. Imagine getting the pricing you should get. Imagine telling the price shoppers "Go somewhere else!". Imagine having employees that do what you want them to do when you want them to do it. You are exactly where you want to be. All your systems are in place. You are living your life dream.

Why "Weekly Implementation Groups"

Are the Most Effective Learning Environment

Ever Conceived…

Something that you may not know about me – I spent many years studying small group dynamics. I found that there are dramatic benefits over and above other methods of learning. For example, with "information" (books and cds), you get just that – information. Again, I certainly don’t want to discount these valuable tools. I devour absolutely as much information as I can get my hands on. In fact, I could probably be labeled an "information junkie". But you have to use the information! The advantage of weekly small groups over information is that you have the support and accountability in place to help you implement.

The advantage of small groups of 12 over a large group is obvious.

With a large group people are inhibited. Large groups are great environments to learn, just not the best environment. Just like books and tapes, I love seminars. I love going to seminars and I love teaching seminars. I get a lot out of them and you can really learn a lot. They can change your business. But at some point, you hit the saturation point. Plus, on a tele-seminar, you don’t know who is on the line, so people don’t tend to share the really juicy stuff!

My Weekly Implementation Groups are limited to 12 people on the call. You know EXACTLY who is on the line. Everyone has to introduce themselves. If you are not willing to actually say something, you cannot be a part of these groups. Sorry. It just won’t work otherwise. You have to at least introduce yourself during the "ice-breaker" and you have to verbalize your goals. Don’t worry, it’s a really fun environment.

Can small group calls be even more powerful than one-on-one coaching?

I think so. Again, not to discount what can be accomplished with private consultations with me (which you can continue to get as an Inner Circle Member). The reason small groups can be more powerful is you get feedback from the group members who are going through the same thing you are going through! It is POWERFUL!!

Of course, I facilitate every group call personally, so you can ask me any question you want. You never have to wait more than a week to ask me that burning question that comes to you in the middle of the night. In fact, as an Inner Circle Member, you get unlimited e-mail support from me personally.

I am on my e-mail continuously (I’m not sure whether that’s good or bad!! Good for you, not so good for me! But, don’t worry too much about me. From time to time I go on vacation and I reserve the right to reply during business hours and after my vacation. My office and other members are there to fill in when needed!! And don’t tell anyone, but when I get bored on the beach, I have my little Treo phone and I sneak in a few replies here and there! Shhhhh…)

So, in the 52 Weeks of Implementation, you meet with 11 other members (no competitors allowed to be in the same group and each member takes a vow of confidentiality) every week and you have unlimited e-mail support from me personally.

New Weekly Tele-Classes! Now on Podcast!

Now, in addition to the weekly group calls, you can learn my systems through short tele-classes that I do every week. If you want to get on the "fast track", you can learn as much as you want. If you want to go slow, take one subject at a time.

The Weekly Tele-Classes are now on podcast. Once you are a member, you can download past tele-classes onto your ipod, computer, or mp3 player and listen as you work 24/7.

Need materials? Get My Latest and Greatest Business Building Strategies!

I am continually updating, tweaking, and testing my strategies. As an Inner Circle Member, you can get anything you need for the project you are working on. Just pop me an e-mail and let me know what you need. Perhaps you need a procedure, a brochure, or an ad. Just let me know and I shoot it right over to you. Over 22 years of experience is at your command.

The MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT

of Small Group Learning

The purpose of the group is to encourage you and to keep you accountable. To keep you focused. And the most powerful part of the whole process is that it is designed for you to "discover" what you need to do on your own. You see, if I just tell you what to do, you don’t own it. But if I design an environment where it becomes abundantly clear what you need to do and you come to that decision on your own, you will take ownership and you will act on it. And the bonus is that you have a group of people who care about you and will be spurring you on toward success.

How can I virtually guarantee that you will be more successful?

How can I claim to make you more successful? Actually, I can’t. Only you can do that. But, if you will follow my simple instructions, you will make more money while working less. What makes me uniquely qualified to be so bold is that I started my carpet cleaning company out of the trunk of my car over 21 years ago and built it up to over $2.4 million per year. My company charges an average of 62 cents per square foot for carpet cleaning (without carpet protector) and as much as 87 cents per square foot. People stand in line to do business with my carpet cleaning company.

I STILL own and operate my company today. We generate forty to sixty thousand dollars in new business every single month just from referrals. Over $2 million per year and I don’t even have a yellow page ad!  I have 30 of the happiest, most productive employees ever, I have had partnerships, bought businesses, and real estate. I study and implement new marketing and business strategies at a fever pitch. In this new program, I put all of that experience to work for YOU.

Over the past 10 years I have become one of the most popular marketing and business experts in the carpet cleaning industry. Over 3500 small business owners worldwide have purchase my business systems. From Spain to New Zealand… from Hawaii to the UK, from Greensboro North Carolina to Eugene Oregon. Now, we are going to the next level together. 

Join the Inner Circle Today!

Just imagine where you could be 52 weeks from now. After spending an entire year meeting in small groups, listening in on tele-classes, getting personal and business advice from me and interacting with my most successful members, how could you NOT be more successful??

Don’t Wait. Join today! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Enroll TODAY!

I look forward to hearing about your success! 

Howard Partridge

P.S.

Just One Extra Job a Month Will Pay for this Program! You should get one job a month without even paying much attention. This is a true NO BRAINER, if there ever was one!

"I strongly suggest you consider joining Howard Partridge and the Inner Circle. (unless you do business in my area)"

"We have been somewhat dragging our feet the past 3 years. Although we have seen steady growth, we have not been able to get  ‘pumped’ up and motivated. Howard has cured that problem. My wife Michele is pumped about the business now and enjoys the weekly phone meetings. We are starting to implement the systems Howard has provided us and we feel we fell our ‘compass’ is pointing in the right direction.

Thinking of joining? "Want to make more money than you ever thought possible in your cleaning and restoration company. (can’t overcome money problems and new yearnings)?"there is only one thing standing between you and success--------------YOU!" Now is the time to do something about the struggle you face each day in your business. Now is the time YOU get out of your way. You’re like we were a short time ago. You get up each day and work through the day the same as you have for the past few years. You wonder why  you got into business in the first place. Heck, the guys working normal 9-5 grind are driving nicer cars and live in nicer homes than you do. You are supposed to be the entrepreneur?

Lot that did for you, huh?

If you have ever noticed that successful people have everything "just so". They have their equipment polished and shiny, the employees know what is expected of them, the salespeople know exactly what to do and the owner seems to play golf a lot? What is the secret to all of this? Is he just a lucky guy? Doubtful. If he were that lucky, he would spend most of his life in Vegas as a high roller.

The reason why he is so successful is "systemizing". Without it, how would anyone know what is expected of them? How would the business run? Good questions, good questions, to ask about your business/life and how it runs.

From the little time I have known and listened to Howard Partridge, I know that he is all about systems. He has proved that in his own successful business, he also proves that each time you listen to him. He has things under-control, his business and his life. How many of us can say the same? Do you have things under control at all times? Is marketing being done at the same time the cleaning crew is out servicing a client? Will the business run itself if you are not there? Like you, there were a lot of  ‘no’s’ in my reply.

Joining the ‘inner circle’ is much different than some of the other ‘ clubs ‘ you can join. Howard has a ‘down to earth’ personality and is available the majority of the time. He responds back to email when time allows and addresses any questions you may have. (my wife doesn’t even respond to my emails……not sure how to take that?)

Howard cares about the success of each and every member. He wants everyone to succeed. He takes the time to explain and go over everything thoroughly.

If you want to make the change in your business and ‘your life’, now is the best time to GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! If you are happy doing what you are doing each day, consider this is a long boring testimonial that has wasted your time, you have better things to do like, get up, go to work, struggle with the bills and hope you win the winning lottery ticket like that will ever happen.

I strongly suggest you consider joining Howard Partridge and the Inner Circle. (unless you do business in my area, then I suggest joining the local bird watching or the opera club. You will be able to see our trucks in your neighborhood with those funny looking binoculars they seem to use.) the ROI on your investment will be great!"

"Frankly I was skeptical"

"I’ve been in this business for over 22 years. During that time we have implemented many different strategies in our business in an effort to improve it. Some of these we dreamed up ourselves. Some have been shared with us by other cleaners that we’ve come into contact with and some have been learned from other marketing groups that we have been associated with. Some of the strategies have been "GRAND SLAM HOME RUNS" for us! Some have been "triples" and we’ve had some "doubles". Unfortunately, a lot of them have been "strike outs"

I heard about Howard a few years ago from a friend of mine in Florida. At the time I was involved with a pretty high dollar marketing program and didn’t feel like I could justify taking on another program at the time.

I became a part of one of Howard’s "inner circle" groups in August of this year and have been blown away with the knowledge I’ve already gained in just 2 ½ months. I joined primarily because of what I’d heard about his "referral rewards program" and various ways to target market your existing client base. What I’ve already learned and implemented has been well worth the investment already but as a bonus what I’m learning about systems that Howard uses in his own company, is saving me year in trial & error implementation! "systems" is one area that anybody in this business that’s interesting in improving and growing their business and eventually selling it for a healthy profit needs to learn and implement systems. Unfortunately many programs that I’ve been involved in have been marketing based (which is very important) but is weak in systems (if they’re included at all)."

Thinking about joining?

"If you want to spread your wings and grow your business…..mold and develop your business into all it can be….have a business worth something (based on solid tracking information you’ll learn from Howard) while having more free time for your family, you really need to check out Howard’s Inner Circle Groups!

They’re small enough that everybody gets to participate and what you’ll learn will blow your mind!

When I was first considering joining Howard’s Inner Circle Program one thing that was of great interest to me was he said that as a member, we could communicate with him anytime by email. We said we could ask him any questions and he would answer them. He also said that if we needed anything we could request it and he would do his best to provide it.

Frankly, I was skeptical of this claim as I’ve heard it before and was disappointed when it didn’t pan out. To my great surprise and delight, every question I’ve asked Howard (either on and inner circle call in or by email, he has graciously shared his knowledge with me! Everything that I have requested from him ( such as samples of mailers, cards, client letters, etc.)he has provided anything I’ve needed Howard has provided!! I’m sure you’ll agree, that’s refreshing now- a- days! Take my advice and get on board! If you will join in, then participate, and most important, IMPLEMENT WHAT YOU’LL LEARN, I guarantee you won’t regret it!"

My favorite part before the Round Table was the documents and marketing materials (newsletters), after Round Table, the realization of the support and accountability of the membership.

Howard,

Thank You!  In November 2004 I attended your Million Dollar Marketing Secrets Seminar at the Connections Convention and Trade Show.  Before entering the seminar I was not expecting to see or hear to much that I have not already heard from so many others in our industry.   By about 15 minutes into the program I looked at my Mother and said whatever this guy is selling, were buying it!  After the seminar my Mother and I went to see you and Jimmy at your booth and ended up buying all of the modules you were offering at the show.  That is how we began our relationship with your company. 

After Connections I returned to my office and eagerly awaited the arrival of my modules.  When the modules came in I got right to work.  The first thing that I did was to open up your Referral Marketing Module.  In it I found your Referral Program that you use with your clients, carpet retailers, interior designers and realtors.  After reading through the program I new that it would be the key to our first success with the program.  January 1, 2005 I implemented the Referral Program in our business.  To get started I included an insert in our monthly news letter that introduced the referral program to our residential client base and also gave our clients their first 5 Free Trial Offer Cards.  I also began visiting carpet retailers in the areas that we serve.  The very first day I placed materials and obtained commitments from 7 retailers (everyone I visited that day).  In January 2005 we achieved an 87% ROI with this program and brought in $2,213.35 from 7 jobs.  That’s an average job ticket of $316.20, normally our average job is $140.00 in January (typically one of our slowest months in the Northeast) .  Not only did we have fabulous results in January, this program also helped us to increase our Residential sales in February by 25% and March by 62%!

I am absolutely thrilled with the results we have achieved though the use of your modules and our membership to the Inner Circle.  The monthly Inner Circle conference calls have an unbelievable amount of information to digest and implement in the business.  Also the monthly one-on-one conversation with you is fantastic.  It is invaluable to have someone that helps to develop new ideas and to listen how you built the business you have today.  Our monthly calls inspire me to achieve all of the goals that I set for myself and they help to keep me motivated and on track to building my multi-million dollar business.

I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have helped me and my family business to achieve in these past few months.  My partners and I are excited about the future and we are counting the days until we break into the million dollar club.  Which by my calculations will be by year end 2006. 

" The Inner Circle has helped me elevate my business to the next level. Attending the Round Table at no extra charge is great. If you want to become more profitable in your business it is a must." David Nixon, Elite Services, Pensacola, FL

" It has helped me start referral marketing and it is a great motivator.. For those thinking of joining, no form of advertising or other seminars beat it- it’s worth the monthly fee." Stephen Sharpsteen, Ken’s Carpet Service, Inc., Davie, FL

" Dramatically improved my business and made me interested in working on the business. My favorite is the unlimited e-mails. It is a terrific investment." Neil Atkinson, Chase Carpet Care, Denver, CO

" The Inner Circle has helped us get support form Howard. Our favorite benefit is system, computer, and referral. Join now, it will benefit you!" Peter and Ruby Tu, The Tu’s Group Inc., Herndon, VA

" It has helped me to be more focused. I enjoy the consultations, materials offered, and Round Table. Howard gives you everything you ask for (not including packages). The only thing you have to do is implement it, and he helps you if you ask." James Takacs, Knight Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning, Evans, GA

" The Inner Circle has given me the confidence and knowledge to go out and promote my business. My favorite is being able to talk to other companies. It is not only a great network of people, we are a family."  Joshua Campbell, Campbell’s, Sugar Creek, MO

"Howard, We like the ready to use proven material. It is easy to systemize our business with your materials. Knowing we are not alone is great. If you implement Howard’s program, the Inner Circle is the best money you will ever spend. Thank you.
