Thanks guys! I wonder if it was my soft, sultry voice in the previous video's I made.
I know Pat liked them. He went out and bought a case of red wine, lit a few candles along with some incense, closed the shades, a Barry White cd on for a little background music and put the video on continuous loop.
Hank, Mr. Wilkinson sorta has a nice ring to it. LOL Seriously though, Absolutely not. When someone calls me Mr. Wilkinson or sir at the bank or on the phone, it makes me feel like I'm 20 years older than I am.

Thanks Ray but I think they saw my Soft Wash rig and felt sorry for me. Pitty votes still count though so I suggest taking those new wraps off your trucks and spray paint your logo and phone number on them.

Very nice Ray! You should do your own press release with that article as well. Do various local papers and all existing customers. It's cheap and is a good marketing tool.

Ray,
John has a very good point regarding the press release. You can also submit them to national outlets that will post press releases and give you valuable backlinks to your site. We did that when my site went live and it works.

I got the same thing for Grand Rapids. After checking into it, found out it is a scam.
Oh well Ray it's still nice that scammers took time to look into your company, they are pretty busy you know. Ray I do like the case of red wine idea, even Barry whites okay. If my company has to entertain any men I send my stunt double " Art " on those. Any new videos yet?

Well that just downright sux! I almost purchased the plaque last night but thought I'd wait because I saw were there was no where locally that I could pick it up. I might buy it any ways to boost my ego and throw it up on the shelf in the office (next to my forged Babe Ruth baseball).

True Pat. That means they found me on the internet which is a good thing and they made a pretty nice Press Release (wonder If I could still use it?). As for the video's, I have another testimonial and part three of three of the other roof to post.
PS: any one have any tropical island property in Alaska they would like to sell me?
PSS: Ray, don't take off those fancy truck wraps just yet.

They are getting into real dangerous waters with copyright infringement. We have a very prestigious "Tallahassee Magazine" which does a "Best of Tallahassee" awards program yearly. Its a real honor to have that seal on your business. Its also a bit of a popularity contest and "who knows who" contest among its entrants.

Ray, that's what I thought it was for. It started smelling a bit fishy because I never received an invite to the awards banquet dinner that they hold for the winners and runnere ups. Plus there were no "Best of Tallahassee" stickers (seals) included.
