Hey all PWI contractors. I am going to do an off the cuff sales pitch about the UAMCC and would like some feed back from you all if you don't mind.
I never really thought about joining any organizations. Just did not really care, didn't think I really needed one So I never joined one or any other types of orgs. I actually would say, "who needs one" I guess I could still say who needs one and many of you guys could say the same thing
Well I joined a couple PM orgs and I started seeing the benefit of joining right away...I started getting jobs from them..so now its a NO brainer for me, theres a couple PM orgs I will always be with. I have also found out other than getting jobs, I am meeting some very interesting, and cool people, the networking thing is great. I am getting people to know who I am, what my company is about etc etc
Now I would like to know what some of you PWI contractors think of the UAMCC. You saw it being formed for the past 15 months and we launched a couple months ago....so what do you think so far?
I know some commercial contractors have said that, the UAMCC will just be a bunch of stuff for residential guys and I know some residential guys said the UAMCC will just help commercial guys. Well let me tell you, both commercial & residential contractors are benefiting RIGHT now.
Some contractors will be negative about the UAMCC or any org, say it’s a union, a cult, a scam. I have heard some good ones. Everyone has a right to their opinions, but those that are wondering, the UAMCC is the real deal and I see it growing, to be a real help to the industry, not just UAMCC members either.
We have assisted in municipalities to knock down what could have been strick BMP’s. The UAMCC is ALWAYS going to fight for the contractors
Let me tell you some of the things that are going on, now there’s still a MILLION things the UAMCC has to do, will learn to do, will get ideas to do etc etc. WHAT about getting work, how can an org like the UAMCC get you work......WELL it already is getting some work. I know the first or second lead one contractor got it was an $850 job. PAID for his membership in one job. I know a Florida UAMCC contractor just recently picked up 40 commercial locations for cleaning; he is already making it work. I know another contractor out west, has gotten at least a few jobs, don't know how much $$$ but I am sure its well over a grand or two.
This job lead just came in Monday and is already being serviced this week. A UAMCC contractor has just picked up several locations/jobs and will be servicing them in FL, N & S Carolina and VA. Man its an easy project too. There’s a total of 16 states that need servicing. Go UAMCC contractors. Contractors you can have these leads sent right to you. The UAMCC is and has been contacted about national accounts 2000+ locations POSSIBLY. What’s that all about? We are looking into it. Companies are noticing a National Org and this is just in a COUPLE short months. Any window washing companies here? We are getting a TON of window washing RFP’s a TON. These are money jobs contractors. All kinds of commercial stuff
Do you non members know we have a Procurement or RFP agent working for the UAMCC. YUP, we get many local, state bid requests from that agent and then the UAMCC passes all those RFP's to ALL its members, so if the members want they can bid on it. The member of the UAMCC doesn't have to go track these RFP's down. They come right to them in their email. There's been gutter cleaning RFP's right here in Myrtle Beach, There's been over 1 million sq ft parking garages RFP's, window cleaning RFP's, Sidewalk RFP's. So in just a short couple months, these RFP's and other commercial and resi jobs are already coming in and being passed on to members.
These job leads, RFP’s are real and many. I ask you all that aren’t UAMCC members, wouldn’t you like to see these multi State leads, wouldn’t you resi guys like to get leads?
Do you know there are other benefits? I am using a fleet oil change and service benefit. I will be buying a big screen, a new office computer and a computer for my kids and save $400 - $500 from retail big box store, because we have a business partner program from the store nation wide. I know some have saved on lift rental. Do you know we have some stock post cards and all you have to do is email your logo and info to be put on the card and it only cost $35 and then 1000 cards cost like $90+ to have them made. We have some contractors using the post cards RIGHT NOW. There’s a bunch of other benefits too that can be used and that are being used by UAMCC members
So you can get jobs and benefits and for many have part or all over your membership paid for by what you save or what you make from jobs the UAMCC helps you get. COOL
Like I said the UAMCC is rolling right along, we are working on many many many things, things that will put $$$$$ in contractors pockets. We are going to do public relations things with our "Wash With US" program. Local Myrtle Beach UAMCC contractors are going to doing several things with the Was With Us program after we slow down a little
What else is so great about the UAMCC...ahhh the LOGO. I have it on much of my advertising. I have had at least 6 different people ask me about this UAMCC. I explain to them, its an org to better our industry and better ourselves for our customers. I know many were surprised when I tell them about the UAMCC, conventions, RT's and all thats going on in our industry, many just had no idea
Now what about this UAMCC Convention. This isn't going to be a bunch of contractors sitting around shooting the chit. This is going top be a quality, professional high impact event. We have nationally known Keynote speaker George Headly speaking and doing break out rooms, we have a big wig from Direct Media, we are going to have stuff for resi and commercial guys. There is going to be some cool speakers like never seen before in our industry. The venue The Marriott World Center lends itself to pure professionalism. This is going to be an event that really shouldn't be missed
The UAMCC is signing up Vendor members, some great and well known and not so known vendors. They are seeing the short term and long term benefits of joining a national org
I really like to see some of you PWI contractors take a look at the UAMCC. I think it could help all contractors. The larger it gets too, the better, more great minds the better
I know a lot of you contractors, were wondering about the UAMCC, I know some didn’t care either way, some are just sitting back waiting to see what becomes of the UAMCC. I bang my head, I see contractors right here on PWI, friends and associates that could have these leads and jobs, but they just won’t look at the UAMCC now, guys I know could be making the thousands of dollars that have been given out in jobs. Jobs in FL, SC, NC, PA, VA, CA, TX, IN, ME, TN, MN, GA, LA and many more states
This UAMCC is doing very well in a short period of time, the sky is the limit. Tell me what your thoughts are, take a look, and think about it for a while. If its a good fit for your company, join, if not right now, sooner or later
See ya all
