Drake I don't really know coaches that assist folks directly unless they are charging a ton.

I'm not even sure I believe in all the ones in our industry.

Good luck I'll keep my eyes open for you.

I dont charge a ton. I charge 10k plus air and hotel for a full week at your location. Is 10k a ton to take your sales from 150k to 300k in 2 years? I dont think so when Valpak adds can cost that much and we all spend money on that kind of stuff. I charge half upfront and the other half when Im done. If you dont like what I do then you dont owe me the other half. Ive been doing this forever and feel that I can double almost any power washing business if the owner implements my system. Please keep your eyes open for me as I would love to work with some of the folks on here. Thanks!!!

A few references would be awesome. Website? Customer testimonials? Not trying to appear cynical, just giving you an opportunity to let us know who you are.

I have testimonials after a few years. I would say that's pretty standard. I don't think you being critical about it. We have seen a bunch of crap

Ditto....

I have a laughable amount of respect for Ken (PressurePros) and if he vouches for you...well...let's just say you have a very bright future in the pressure washing industry.

Pretty Sure if a guy on is going to spend 10k he's going to want more than 1 reference. Probably want about 7 or 8. Personally I'd want 10 minimum.

I guess one of my issues is the above lead in, and then dropping the $11,000 bomb needed to get that help. I hope you can understand where I am coming from. I've never heard your name in the industry, you have listed one local company that you "helped", you don't do this type of thing for a living, your company offers many services, you have a coupon for what looks to me like cheap services in a very expensive part of the country. Your website does some things very well and its a clean design but I also noticed a heavy use of "we, I, our, us", and at least one grammatical/spelling error. Some may not consider that as the best way to write selling copy. I'm not trying to be hyper critical, but if you want to command professional level pricing, (and though you may have shrugged it off, $11K is what people that do this for a living charge) you need the credentials.

Can you define "helped"? That's an ambiguous term. This is what would excite me: Worked closely with service company owner to develop a multi tiered marketing approach for residential services. Owner was given systems for automated follow up and lead tracking. We also worked closely on his selling and closing techniques. The end result was a growth in annual gross sales of $170K (110%), lowering of administrative costs and increased profit margin on all jobs of 6%.

When I could verify that, and here is the catch-22, you did that multiple times in different areas of the country, then I get out the pen to write a check.

I do market my power washing company for a living. That is how we became the largest residential power washing company in the DC area. Im not a professional consulting company, I just have grown my business through my marketing system and can do the same for others.

Do you think I could get 11,000 for training Ken? Just asking not busting your balls. Love to hear your thoughts always do enjoy your analogy.

There's a few guys that would know you in dc and Maryland. They read here and if your who you say they will know you.

I don't get worried about this stuff much because largest might mean you have 5 employees. Most pw companies are small. I can't think off the top of my head anyone large not including national companies.

I'm not a believer that you have to be ultra successful to teach either. Most good teachers are broke.

I guess I teach but I do it because I enjoy helping people. I have no hangs up with you charging as long as its reputable. Everyone has a right to feed there family's.

Good luck
