These
are just a handful of the questions window cleaners
want answers to when seeking information from me.
Believe
me, back in 1995 when I started my first window cleaning
business, I would have loved to have someone give me
the answers to these crucial questions. Back in those
days, I couldn't just search the Internet and get all
of the answers I needed, I had to learn them through
the 'School of Hard Knocks'.
Luckily,
I had my friend Jaime Leon, who was an experienced window
cleaner and had years of sales experience to help get
me on the right track. Jaime showed me who, where, how,
why and when to secure the highest paying customers
right from the first day...
...Believe
it or not, I actually learned how to clean windows on
the job. We where making the sales and immediately cleaning
the customers glass -- Literally making $250 per
day from the get go.
After
that first season cleaning windows in Anchorage Alaska,
I moved to Nashville, Tennessee to continue pursuing
my career in the music industry. On my trip down the
ALCAN highway, in the middle of No Where, British Columbia
Canada, my travel companion and I got in a wreck and
crashed my truck and the Jeep we had in tow. The delay
and expenses totally drained my savings so when I arrived
in Missoula, Montana I was forced to figure out how
I was going to come up with the money to continue on
to Nashville.
My
travel companion, Brian, had a place to stay in Missoula,
so I ended up talking him and a roommate into starting
a temporary window cleaning business to help earn the
needed funds to get me on my way.
It
was Thanksgiving, and the snow was already starting
to fall, but I was determined to make the sales. Using
the sales techniques I learned earlier from Jaime, we
started approaching customers and securing window
cleaning jobs in the toughest of circumstances.
Over
the next two weeks, I had enough to buy ladders, window
cleaning tools, and earned enough after expenses, to
continue to Nashville with a couple thousand dollars
in my pocket.
I'm
going to give you the short story here...
...
I was living in Nashville during the Winter of '96 out
of a 14' travel trailer with my 5 year old son. I was
working 12 hour shifts at Gibson guitar factory making
$8 an hour. My music opportunities were nonexistent
and my son and I were cold and miserable. So I quit
working for Gibson and started selling window cleaning
as soon as early Spring arrived.
When
I started marketing my business, "Music City Windows",
I had a good idea of where and how to generate sales
immediately... After all, my son was depending on
me to make the business work.
I
started that business by creating a 'System of Referrals'
that got my customers to sell window cleaning jobs for
me.
I
literally only had to 'Hard Sell' 3 customers!...
...
All of the jobs that followed were referred from
new customers calling their friends. It was like
a domino effect that created a long line of high paying
window cleaning jobs that lasted 4 months after which,
my son and I moved back to my home town of Juneau Alaska...
I decided at that point that if I was going to be a
single Dad, I needed to quit pursuing my music, settle
down and start building a new life.
The
whole next year in Juneau, I was hesitant about the
idea of starting a window cleaning business. I thought
"There's No Way Window Cleaning Will Sell In A
Cold Wet Alaskan Rain Forest"!
Boy,
was I wrong... Absolutely wrong!
Even
though the season is short and the sun hardly ever comes
out, window cleaning in Juneau has not only been very
profitable but, one of the greatest adventures of my
life. I have no regrets and I'm amazed, humbled, and
thankful for my customers who have helped me go from
'Couch Surfing' at my Sister's house to a fantastic
lifestyle that allows me 5 months of free time every
year since '99. The income covers my living expenses,
retirement accounts an several family vacations per
year. I'm not rich but I live comfortably.
I
know you can have this same level of success or even
better. But, I urge you not to waste time reinventing
the wheel.
I
can offer you a system of short cuts that will produce
results right NOW and make your window cleaning
business more profitable.
I've
done the leg work. I've started 4 different window cleaning
businesses in 4 different cities... Every time, I started
at ground zero -- WITHOUT a single customer. I've perfected
the art of making sales and I can show you how to use
my techniques in your business.
I

of my story with you. If you're struggling to make ends
meet, or are dissatisfied with your occupation and lifestyle,
