Hi, all. Tom here. I'm on the facilities mgt side of the biz, and am ready to join the other team. All my hard work and great ideas get gobbled up by my incompetent boss, or I get the blame for anything bad that happens - even if its not at one of my properties. I manage over 120 properties in 2 states, mostly financial centers.
I'm evaluating equipment. Been looking at the Landa and Hydrotek units, open for suggestions. Want to get it all right now, not add pieces as I go along. Plan to focus on what I know best: comm'l concrete / asphalt parking lots, new comm'l construction, brick cleaning. Most competitors (current customers!!) around here are Wal-Mart / Lowe's equipped part-timers that are looking for "spray and pay". I'm going to go in full-time and should (SHOULD) be able to sell service.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Esp. on equipment, pricing (I've seen Cody's dissertation), and marketing the biz. Love the discussions and info in here.
