This is aimed at some independent Blackpool Taxi drivers who may be on the verge of joining 365 Taxis. I understand that some may see pitfalls. Hopefully I can put minds at rest.
1. Objection – I don’t want to join because I wouldn’t want to answer the phone.
1. Response – that doesn’t matter. There are enough of us doing that. Join us and you will still get 365 work.
2. Objection – I don’t want to run long distances for jobs
2. Response – we don’t do that. We can easily explain this in person. Zello is the answer.
3. Objection – why should I pay for work?
3. Response – we are non-profit making and it cost a mere £8 per month. That’s right – just £2 per week!
4. Objection – As an independent driver I don’t want to join a strict company with strict rules
4. Response – we don’t have any! We just want to increase our market share. The companies are taking more and more work. We need to create more options for the independent taxi drivers.
5. Objection – is it legal? I mean you don’t even have an Operator’s License!
5. Response – of course it is. We are 100% Hackney Vehicles, so this means we don’t need an Operator’s License.
We have probably the best taxi phone number in Blackpool. 01253 365 365 is so easy to remember.
The more drivers we have the more business cards we give out and this means more work. Many of our drivers work at Blackpool North. All decent visitors plus decent local people get a card. This means work, work, work!
Visitor to Blackpool Zoo don’t need to use the taxi freephone. We card them and they ring us! Constantly.
If we can grow, we will improve. Join us.
