I did a thing!

[pinkyfloyd]

It's been 3 months now and I figured its time to tell the hallowed halls of BCF.

I got royally sacked from my motorcycle training school I was working for for the last 6 years.

Well when I say sacked I mean I was told I was not going to work with them anymore because I set my own company up with a colleague.

So Pinky now runs his own ATB with a logo designed by Mrs Pinky.

Go me! we've been live for 3 months now and business is picking up really well. It was terrifying going alone after being with a well established school but I do not regret the decision.

Good luck, hope you make a success of it.

Nice one!

I'd suggest revisiting the site at some point but all the best and hope all goes well

Many walls of text, too many clicks before I see the price.

On the front page I just want to see CBT - £xxx - click here to book.

Other training - £xxx per hour/day/whatever - click here to book

Otherwise contact us at (many contact options, including social media)

No on cares about how much the website says you care, how professional your service is, how silky the handjob. Everyone says that, and everyone's a cunt. Location, price, availability. Standard tradesman bonus points for a) answering emails and messages quickly and b) bothering to turn up.

Good luck with it! *(Licence)

Hope all goes well.
You'll be cr*pping it at first but things soon pick up.
As others have pointed out with the web pages but I'd also add that I see a heap of photos of almost the same thing in a yard. Obviously with it being a new venture you'll have limited images but try to lessen repetition and perhaps make a short video or two, host them on YouTube and link to your website?

Yep, good luck fella.
Going it alone is very daunting especially if you have been used to the payroll.
I’ve been self employed for 30 + years, ups and downs but wouldn’t have it any other way and makes you budget money better too.

Ps would a BCF discount work, perhaps to regular posters, get a few customers under your belt and some momentum / good feedback and better known?
I obviously don’t know what the profit / costs are and if it’d work, just thinking!

Congratulations, hope it works out.

Just a thought, and I haven't done any market research on this, but from my pov, there might be some who would appreciate just an observed ride, e.g. people coming back after a long break from riding, or people who want to keep up with their quick friends, or just people who feel they've hit a plateau or feel uncomfortable in certain riding situations. Sort of like saying, leave your clipboard in the office, leave your radio behind too, just follow behind me on my preferred route this afternoon, make a mental note of anything important to tell me, and when we get back let me know your thoughts. Bespoke training, no bit of paper required at the end, sort of thing.

On CBT booking page it says
"Have a reasonable understaing of the Highway Code"
I think you mean 'understaining' ?

One other nit pick
None and I mean NONE of your hi viz vests have 'Polite' on the back
tut tut

Oh and by the way
It's 'Hollowed' halls, this place is dying y'know

Cheers all, all the issues with the webpage will be ironed out over the next few weeks, It was kind of cobbled together as soon as we launched but the details will be passed on.
