One of my restaurant accounts I service every two weeks. Today the manager said his DM asked if I could clean the asphalt next to the sidewalk that leads from their side door to the dumpster. The asphalt area would be about 30ft X 4ft. Has anyone tried to clean asphalt with a surface...

How many of you have sales people working for you? (I know you do Ron) I am debating on looking for one that is willing to work on full commission. Is that how you started with yours? My wife wants to quit her job and do sales full time for us, but she likes her gaurenteed paycheck. Any...

I recently made this short letter to hand out to potential customers around the area where I just worked. Does anyone else do this? It's great advertising to get customers near your regular accounts. <!-- attachments -->

Now that I think about it, I do overlap some runs. Here's an example...

I have a Steel Eagle surface cleaner. If anyone has a surface cleaner that they rigged their wand to with a shut off valve, quick connect, etc., can you please post a pic? Thanks! On the dirty initial cleanings, I'm getting too many lines that are visible once it dries from the path of my...

I noticed lately when I turn the heat up high (210 or more), the fittings where two hoses connect, and where the pump hose connects to the hose reel, are both leaking (steam and dripping). Is this normal, or do I need to replace them?:help:

I did a Taco Bell / Kfc demo yesterday with the manager, and we sent the pics to the area manager. I spoke with him today. I quoted my 30 day price at $195 for all exterior concrete including the drive through, for 4 locations. At this price, I agreed to add in two dumpsters (outside...

Just curious what you all think about cold calling vs. seeing the customer in person. I personally have been visiting commercial accounts, offering demos, information, etc. I think it is better in person for the initial contact, but I know I cannot reach as many businesses in a day as I could...

Here's a couple pics of a Taco Bell demo I did today...:thumbup2:

Very funny prank... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mym3diEpgyY

Here's a short video of my demo stencil being made. Check out all the sparks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MFf9gUJPcM If anyone needs a new stencil, my friend has a nice plasma cutting table setup, and can do almost any design. His contact info is on his...

Here's my new stencil for demos that my friend made. If anyone is interested, he wants the business. We live in Tucson, AZ, but he will ship them too. Pricing ranges from around $100-$200, plus shipping. Good thing is, he can do your logo, custom edges (like the water splatter on mine), etc...

I noticed the other day that algae is starting to form at the bottom of my water tank. Any suggestions on what to add that will not damage the pw pump?

As I stated before, I am new to the commercial side of the business. I picked up a used Steel Eagle 24" surface cleaner for $400. It works great. One issue I have (sometimes) is the visible lines after the sidewalks dry. I usually run the cleaner, then go over the area with the wand to...

I have a few "family" restaurants that I just landed. All of them have heavy grease buildup by the dumpsters. Any input on what is the best method to remove the grease? I am new to restaurant accounts. I currently use a degreaser and have the temp up to 245 degrees, and use a 10 inch blade...

Does anyone know why I cannot get sound on the livestream videos that play at the top right of the screen? I have it on max volume, it's not muted, and my computer volume is up and works fine with everything else.

Lets share who we all use for our company shirts, and maybe post some pics. Hopefully some of us will be able to benefit from switching suppliers. I wear my shirts whenever I go shopping, and have gotten calls from them, and people ask for a card. I used Thread Logic for my polo shirts, and...

Epoxy coatings aren't too bad. It's the decorative coatings that tried my patience. I'll try to attach a couple pics of the jobs I've done. My focus for most of my business is now on commercial power washing, with some epoxy coatings mixed in from time to time, no more decorative coatings.

Hey all, My name is Mike Hasterok, from the HOT desert of Arizona. I started a power washing business on the side of the street to spray people for $5 each to cool them off in the 100+ degree weather (ha, I wish it was that easy!) I previously worked for a national home builder as a Customer...
