Great to have people going around trying to get Detailers organized, etc...
This is something that has been going around for Decades...
It never really gets traction because there are just too many people who are Detailing (at whatever level or below whatever level) out there..
Since the overall average of money made at the end of a year Detailing full time, compared to let`s say a great IT job is alarmingly low, I personally think that most Detailers or those working to become full-time Detailers are not going to put out extra money they probably are stretched to have now to join a group that is somewhat organized, has great intentions and all that, but is going to charge a lot of money for the privilege of having a certification on the wall, that no one other than perhaps other Detailers that know about, will even recognize...
Now if the Detailing Organization said - ""We care enough about you and this, that We will really back you up with Free, proven, Detailing Business Software, the Business equipment at affordable lease agreements, 40%+ discounts on all the products and equipment you need, free shipping always, 24-hour hotline for help""..
""We will give you access to the newest, proven, products, and equipment for testing, evaluation, vastly reduced Business Insurance policies, and much more"",..
That person who signs on the line for membership would Still have to put in huge Hours in the Shop - not just doing this mechanically - but really thinking every process through, and reverse-engineering everything to come up with better solutions, and processes to get somewhere in this world and be very successful..
Think about this for a minute - in the IT world (Thank you, Merlin for using this example), there are thousands of really, really, bright, very well educated, at a minimum, Electrical Engineers (the ones who know A LOT of Math past Calculus), and then, way past that high level, the Brainiacs who are constantly thinking about and working on - for example Microsoft Operating Systems Software, and Cisco Routers, etc., so that at the User Level, all will be great and work better, and constantly stay ahead of the Technology Requirements...
How many of these Detailer Organizers are even thinking about what Detailers really need in order to be successful, past taking their money for training???
Microsoft and Cisco are a great example of 2 incredible companies that are ALL IN with making their Systems and Products work great for everyone and Supporting everyone - all the time -
What do you get after paying money for that class/es ? If it will spark something that gets you really enthused and want to go out here with your newfound knowledge and brief hands-on, then that is all the better.. But it will still take a LOT of hours out there and you have to get this all on your own and through great Forums, friends, Detailers, etc...
