How the FloorPro® created new business in Indonesia
Today I wanted to share with you a story that I’m really proud of, because it demonstrates the way that the FloorPro® is truly changing the face of the floor flatness industry. It shows how having the right tools in place can double or triple your business – or create business out of thin air where none existed before.
My friend “Dave” was in an interesting situation.
He was from Indonesia, and found himself surrounded by opportunity everywhere. There were floors to be measured all around him. Everything from new construction to floor refurbishing, and in between. But there was one serious problem.
The problem was that none of the business was going to him.
Even though he was surrounded by a world of opportunity, the measurement of the floors that were going in was all being done by foreign contractors.
He had all the keys to being successful in this industry. Except one.
He had the desire. He had the knowledge. And he had the connections, because he knew where the jobs were.
But he didn’t have a floor flatness measurement device that could do the job.
So instead of cashing in on the gold mine right in front of his eyes, he was sitting on the sidelines while companies from outside the country were doing all the work. He was frustrated and ready to throw in the towel.
This all changed when we met at the World of Concrete event in Las Vegas.
I showed him a quick demonstration of the FloorPro® and how easy it is to configure. (It takes less than a minute)
Then I showed him how to sight up the laser and program in a run. (This takes less than 30 seconds)
Finally I showed him how to push the start button and begin the run. (This takes one second)
The ease of use literally made him take a step back. I think he was truly surprised that our machine could be that easy to use. That’s a common reaction.
You should know, however, it wasn’t the ease of use that allowed Dave to open a new line business back in Indonesia. It was the fact that the unit is proven to measure with such precision.
The FloorPro® allows him to measure not only F-numbers, but Waviness Index and Straightedge. He can serve any market that he wants, with no limitations on the types of jobs to bid on.
Dave went home with a FloorPro® that day
Now Indonesia has a home grown outfit providing professional floor flatness measurement and reporting, as it should be.
