Exactimate Baby

So it has taken a few months, but Darren finally allowed me to get the Exactimate program. This only happened of course because the Cooperators pretty much demanded that all their preferred contractors use it. But, however it happened, it is now here, and I have spent the past week or so playing around with it, and attempting to learn as much of it as I can before I go to Regina on Thursday. As, from what I hear, we will be getting a little Exactimate lesson, as part of our sales meeting.

Anyway.....So I am working on my first Estimate on Exactimate and bamn, the final price on the estimate is almost double what I would have charged based on time and materials. Which basically means everybody who has been using our services has been getting a sweeeeeet deal. And now, at least from one of my clients I am about to actually start making some money, and maybe I wont have to stress about reaching my sales goals each month. This could be a really good year :-)

As I just stated I will be heading to Regina for a couple of days, for our annual Sales Meeting. It should be pretty fun, it will just be the General Managers and the Cleaning Managers, so I will get to have a few beers with Rod. They are putting us up in the Delta, which is also the Regina Casino, so lets hope I dont get drunk and try to play poker again. (What kind of an idiot plays poker drunk?)

Lets see what else. Smid-Pig is getting ready to head up North to good old Fort McMurray. Going to stake his claim from what I hear. I only hope that he will still find the time to update his blog, and keep us up to speed on the latest fashions of Sexy Teen Sandy. This also means that I am going to have to deal with Tappers on my own. I think maybe Jenny should move to Calgary to assist him in dressing himself.

Not much else to say. Nooman Out
