Looking for Business partner/s

[dophinplumbers]

If I take your offer seriously, all your points can be considered, but the use of the name - dolphinplumbers is not a joke as you see it.

Also, would it not be better for me to employ you than to accept your proposal?

Cheers

No mate, I had my own business in the UK

What happened to them? Please, can you tell more about it?

 

[dophinplumbers]

That is a long story mate, however; one reason was that I had a close relative (uncle) who is expert in the field, so I thought my skills of business development and marketing plus his skills as a plumber will work well. The other reason was that I have an oversea construction company and in that country there is lots of contracts to be won in plumbing field, but you have to have good name, experience and legitimacy which a UK company will provide, so by having this company and operating it for a year I can then register it in the other country as well and win contracts. But as I dag deeper into this, I got more interested to have a plumbing company in the UK on its own merits.

It was a small retail business - I sold it before taking the current profession. It didn't fail as you might be thinking 😉

Cheers

dolphins live in water, plumbers dont, they like keeping dry as do their customers

Yes just one, a cartoon logo somewhat suggests a comic strip operation, not intended to cause offence.

In the words af the dragons, IM OUT.

Those were not suggestions they were conditions, you have just dismissed them all. will you do this with the business. I tell you that we need more staff and you say "I'll take it on board"
And yes Dolphin Plumbers is rubbish. why not call yourself whale plumbers or water baby plumbers. complete and utter joke.
The name is so water based that people wont even call you for boilers i.e. which is where the money is.
you offering me a job makes it even more a joke. what are you actually offering? do you even know.
and finaly you have a story how you basically got bored of your previous business and gave it up. so how long until you get bored of this business?

Thought I was looking at Basil Brush for a second. Maybe it's because the avatar is so small and I can't see the full detail? :detective:

It will be the bad side of men that will make a partnership like this not work - I mean if you are a plumber strugling to find work and I do all the marketing for you to ensure there is always work, why will you not be happy and appreciate the work that I put in?

By the way, do you know how I can put an image (my company logo) as my avatar on my profile here? Sorry I am new here and can't find that fuctionality - when I do to edit avatar the option to load image is not, does it comes when I have become a trusted member etc?

Cheers

Plumber struggling to find work !!!!!! I can't swear on this forum and have been told off already but what planet are you circulating. This sounds like a glorified SEO scam. On day 1 your average 30 quid hourly rate would have to be 60 to cover you and your "admin" get a life . You are not Pimlico Plumbers so would struggle to say the least. I lie awake at night dreaming of being pimped by people like you. Time to do some real work.

Do you not think it is a risk from your side too? You are going to put all of this time, effort and money into a business, then use a person you barely know as the ambassador for this company. You'd have no idea what this persons capabilities are, how his customer relation skills are and how trustworthy he is.

You can have the best ads and marketing scheme, but if your plumber turns out to be an incompetent oaf, you won't get a lot of repeat business and bad reviews spread like wildfire!

Also I agree with others about the name and logo, it is too gimmicky in my opinion!

Good luck to you in the future, got to say your logo looks like its been lifted out of pathetic sharks from viz

I really did think that this original thread was a joke, some people just havent a clue. Another dreamer dreaming of plumbing.

 

[Keefy]

Whatever the opinions here (from all sides), it's going to be interesting looking back at how this business looks a year from now.

 

[aido]

What business>>>>>>>:90:

 

[julesverne]

Just sub the work out and take a cut far less hassle

 

[dophinplumbers]

For those with strong views on the logo, do you have any suggestions on how I cam improve on the name and logo, what is your company name and logo like. I mean you are the experts in the business and know what works and what doesn't and that is why I am here to seek your help. Cheers

 

[dophinplumbers]

Thank you, that is a good advice!
