    I have been working my way into Roof Washing business and have done about 30 roofs. My problem is I am always so nervous about damaging flowers and grass, etc. I am using in a 60 gallon tank, 60 percent 12.5 Bleach, 35 percent water and two bottles of 91% alcohol and some laundry soap. ANY HElP out there for Me. I would really appreciate GOOD Solid advice. ThaT is VERY effective for folks.

  1. Customer testimonials are quite possibly your most valuable resource in terms of what people see when they find your business. They could be reviews through Google, Yelp, or any of the like. A positive customer review (or better yet several or more) can make the difference between a new customer booking a job with you or turning them away to give their business elsewhere.

    The only problem with testimonials and reviews on these free websites is the fact that unless you know the person and can substantially validate that they posted the review, ANYONE could have written it. There are also many potential customers out that are well aware of this fact. You can't trust everything you read on the web and testimonials, even ones that appear completely legitimate on the surface CAN be illegitimate. This is why it is better if you post reviews that you yourself have reached out and attained on your website, and base them on your website rather than link them to the website of the review.

    In these reviews you should get the customer's full name, location, and even a date. These facts will help make them much more real and much more believable than a foreign linked testimonial. You could even add a customer picture...obviously all these facts rely on some customer disclosure but nothing a good evangelist customer shouldn't be willing to do. Not to mention it creates great and useful content for people to see on your webpage without having to rely on a link to get your customer to your review or get the review to your site. One good believable testimonial could boost your conversion rates by 100% or more, and it doesn't even have to be incredibly in-depth. Sometimes a more concise, modest review, can be more beneficial and believable to potential customers than an over-the-top one. The more honest it sounds the better.

    Know the difference between a good customer testimonial, and a GOOD, valid customer testimonial and why they are more advantageous than one from a third-party source.

    Can one of the IKECA guys explain why a guy like Don Pflieiderer who has probably more experience in the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry that anybody in your organization (Don Pfleiderer | LinkedIn) and who's quality control program is the benchmark for any reputable company in the industry (enVIROmatic corporation of America' date=' Inc. - Photo Requirements[/url']) has never been elected to the IKECA BOD after running several times but a member who has more lawsuits against them for fires than probably any other member of IKECA gets elected the first time he runs.

    Don't pretend like you don't know who I am talking about.

  5. It occurs to me that it has been a while since I climbed onto my proverbial soap box to share my thoughts on a topic. Well' date=' spring is just about here, or at least it feels like it in many regions. This is the time of year when we begin to plan, and it is the time of year when many companies pick up a wand for the first time. For any business owner, new or seasoned, selecting your professional education should be something that is budgeted for both in terms of time and money.

    There are many opinions out there as to what kind of education is best, and from what source. There are pro-association or pro-organization folks, and also those who find that for their own use, it is not a good investment. There are many manufacturer courses, to show you how to successfully use a product. The goal is simple, they sell product, you sell jobs. It's a win win. There are distributors who hold wonderful annual events in different parts of the country, and there are contractors who do the same thing. And of course there are companies who bundle together classes teaching certain topics who are perhaps affiliated with one or more of the above but who are focused on selling course work. Let me be clear; ALL EDUCATION IS GOOD. All of it has value. One company's choice and opinion as to what will work for them is based upon that company's needs and objectives. As business owners, each of us must evaluate the services we plan to offer, and the needs of our business. We must decide for ourselves what to spend our budget on. Compare before you spend. Some of the courses out there are similar in design and content. Before you spend your hard earned education budget on class, consider the content. Look at the competing education at products. are some closer to home? Are some part of an organization? Would the credentials of an association membership give you a competitive market advantage? Should you get the training at a round table, at a convention or simply in a class offered by an education company?

    Once upon a time, our business was new. At that time, we did not have what seems like dozens of forums with lots of data just waiting to be searched by a user and browsed as time permits. And back in that day, we chose to go to a PWNA convention. There was no other org, and the classes were offered that we had a personal interest in. So we went. We learned and we networked and we made decisions that moved us forward. It worked for us, because we aligned our goals and needs with what was offered to us.

    Are the classes enough? Ummmm....hell no. You will not ever get everything out of any of these classes. I do not care who the instructor is, or how many years they have been at it. You cannot impart in just a few short hours or days, enough knowledge to fill your head with all you need, and it is not matched with what you gain over time as you learn and grow. You will read magazines, you will find articles, you will search the forums. As you do these things you will discover your likes and dislikes, and you will tailor your business around your own points of interest and strength, or at least, that is my advice to you.

    Never, ever stop learning.

    Hmm I am so old I can barely remember???????? Ahh yes it was Black Magic out of New Hampshire' date=' I think. Bob Montgomery and Chris Curtis were the men. Paid over $400.00 for 3 days of intense classroom training, or wait ....... two days of intense training in the classroom. We got to look at the hood at the hotel we were staying at. Insurance reasons kept them from letting us get involved in cleaning. The third and final day they spent trying to sell us everything under the sun. We bought a $700.00 wap turbo wet vacuum with a pump discharge and a stainless steel tank that tilted. 1988

    One more thing, I just found my certificate, which means I was certified in 1988. So for all you guys out there, certification, from some non state or non government agency means absolutely nothing, zero, nada. I have a very official certificate here proving just that.[/quote']

    Maybe you have a hard time believing me Douglas so here i saved you the trouble of searching... PEAK Antifreeze & Coolant

    Marko

    The right Anti-Freeze is always a plus...but some have a hard time believing that.

    Always use what is proven and automobile anti-freeze is proven every winter in all our vehicles so why risk our lively hood with cheap alternatives. Peak is my favorite because the Green dye is easy to see and i know when this is in my machines my unit is protected!

    If I use a mix that is 60 to 70% SH won't that be a major pain to keep the stuff from running off the roof and killing any plant life around including grass?

    Alle Jahre wieder steht die Ferienzeit vor der Tür. Die Aussicht an den gebuchte Urlaub ist meist recht hoch. Lästig ist es, wenn dann Sachen passieren die die Abreise inFrage stellen oder unmöglich machen. Gründe für eine Stornierung der Reise können dann verschiedene Ursachen haben, zum Beispiel eine schwerer Karambolage, der Ableben eines Mitreisenden. Wenn es demzufolge passiert, bleibt oft nur die Stornierung der Reise.

    Sobald Sie dann ohne eine Reiserücktrittskostenversicherung dastehen, müssen Sie die gesamten Stornierungskosten selber tragen. Überwiegend richten sich die Stornokosten nach der sogenannten Stornostaffel des Reiseveranstalters, oft auch bis zum vollen Reisepreis. Die Stornokosten bekommen Sie von der Reiserücktrittskostenversicherung ersetzt, deshalb permanent nach der Reise auch die Reiserücktrittsversicherung abschliessen. Eine Eigenbeteiligung ist bei den meisten Reiserücktrittsversicherungen allerdings vorgesehen, oft kann diese gegen Mehrbeitrag abgewählt werden.

    Eine Reiserücktrittsversicherung schützt Sie und Ihre Angehörigen vor dem matteriellen Verlust. Auch wenn Sie von der Reise zurücktreten, muss der Reisepreis (zumindest die Stornogebühren) getilgt werden.Eine Reiserücktrittskostenversicherung greift zum Beispiel auch bei schweren Schäden am Vermögen oder bei Tod von Angehöigen, sobald Sie nicht in Urlaub fahren können. Die Unterschiede bei den Versicherungsgesellschaften sind enorm, ein umfassender Vergleich lohnt immer. Der Beitrag in der Reiserücktrittsversicherung ist recht minimal, eine Jahresversicherung rechnet sich schon ab der 2. Reise im Jahr. Die Aufwendungen der Reiserücktrittsversicherung orientieren sich vordringlich an der Höhe des Reisepreises und er Reiseart.

    Reiserücktittsversicherungen werden mit und ohne die sogenannte Reiseabbruchversicherung angeboten. Berücksichtigen Sie, dass die Reiserücktrittsversicherung nur innerhalb bestimmter Fristen (Abschlussfirsten) gebucht werden kann.

  9. Earlier this month we introduced a new product, Dyn-O-Coil, to a select group of customers and National Cleaning Expo attendees. We are now making this product known to all.

    Dyn-O-Coil is a dynamic mineral scale preventer and remover that when added to water or the make up of a pressure washing mix, modifies the normal crystal structure of mineral hardness so that scale deposits never form or build up. Dyn-O-Coil prevents mineral problems first and fixes any scale problems that already exist second. If mineral scale has already built up in a machines pump or coils, Dyn-O-Coil will work to breakdown the scale and allow it to be flushed out of the system.

    Simply inject Dyn-O-Coil into your equipment either mixed in just water or in a soap chemical mix and Dyn-O-Coil will descale the machines internal parts over the course of use. Dyn-O-Coil will not harm any machine parts including; bearings, seals, hoses, wands, nozzles, tips or packing.

    Dyn-O-Coil is

    • Concentrated
    • Biodegradable
    • Safe on Equipment
    • Protects and Cleans While you Work
    • Prevents and Eliminates Scale Deposits
    • Easily Mixed into Water and Soap Mix For Usage
    • Only Costs Pennies per Day

    For pricing and to order call 1-800-762-7911. The first 50 customers will receive special pricing and UPS Ground flat rate shipping on their order of Dyn-O-Coil. Call today.
