Ok how about a google adwords campaign. to advertise for certified roof cleaner directory.

 That sort of campaign will cost megabucks to be number one in EVERY market!

Rest assured, competitors will click away, costing us plenty.

The best we can do is to keep highly ranked overall.

I plan to have a SEO Conference call on Talkshoe soon, to tell everyone what we can do better.

 LOL, the phrase "Labor for Learning" has been around this, and every trade, since the dawn of time.

No way I will offer "Labor for Learning" except on a really big commercial job, because we have found trainees slow us down considerably.

On days we could do 4 roofs in a day, having student slow us down so we are lucky to do 3. 

Also if you have two guys working and are training someone they can watch the first half then actually do the second half with the lead tech to make sure everything is done correctly i cant see it adding to much time. I trained two guys last year and we were able to do 3 monster roofs in one day along with 2hrs off chemical mix training and pump training all within an 8 hr day. All the roof were in the same development.

Another point to consider about changing the cert. program. Re-certification was put into place to make it fair for new and old members, so all had the same requirements to fulfill for certification and re-certification. How are you planning to keep it the same for everybody if the present ideas are put in place? I can foresee a lot of discussion and drama on the horizon. Ideas/suggestions?

Maybe we need a talkshoe or the chat feature turned on at a decided time for all to input.

Got to go watch Kentucky kick some azz.  Back later.

I will go with whatever the majority decides on for certification...

I will say that I was able to obtain a builders license from the State of Michigan just by taking a written test, no training, building, cutting, measuring, just a test. I am not a builder and I have never built a garage, house or an addition, but I sold and produced a lot of them.

The difference is that the state of michigan controls that which is our government and is regulated the rcia cert is not.
