I must be in a serious minority - I HATE HARRY POTTER!!! No offense to you guys, it's just my personal opinion, but I don't understand how a grown adult could sit through a 3 hour fantasy style movie. I just don't get the hype. I tried watching the first one but fell asleep about 30 minutes into it. Have seen other bits and pieces of it and it looked just as stupid. Witchcraft, sorcery, etc is not my thing.

Happy Birthday, Rod.

We all know that to build a successful hood cleaning and/or pressure washing business, SYSTEMS must be in place. Even ifyou are a one man show, consistency is key. To help you get organized, I'm offering you some of the forms that were created with SYSTEMS in mind. Hood Cleaning Documents and Forms | Hood Cleaning Helper They are all in pdf format so you must be able to view pdf documents. If your computer isn't older than your pressure washer, you shouldn't have a problem :) After downloading them, you can print as many as you like, they are yours. The first form is a form I created once I got more work than I could handle and my wife started answering the calls that were coming in. No matter how many times I tried to get her to ask questions I needed to qualify the callers, she just couldn't remember. Not only that, but I wanted to know "other things" besides just the name and location of the business like tracking advertisents, etc. This form helps with all of this. It's called the "New Account Information Sheet" - This form is NOT just for hood cleaners. Hood Cleaning Documents and Forms | Hood Cleaning Helper The second form is KEC Lead Technician Report. It was created with systems in mind so there can be nothing forgotten and nothing left chance. It covers every aspect of the job from hood to fan. It lays the ground work letting you get off the truck and work ON your business and not so much IN it. Hood Cleaning Documents and Forms | Hood Cleaning Helper The last form (so far) will free up the time of the lead technician by giving the helper or assistant clear objectives so there is no wasted time. Your helper will never be standing around with their thumb up their butts again. At least they won't have any excuses for doing so.

I just put up a new article about maintaining your downstream injector - thanks to my buddy Alexy. Check it out here: Pressure Washing Chemical Application Tip | Hood Cleaning Helper If you have problems with your downstreamer going out every 3 or 4 months, this may help you extend the life of your injector.

Yes.. Bob from Pressure Tek sells one like that. It rocks.

Sorry, Thad, I don't swing that way.

By the time you do all that mixing, you may as well just buy a product that already works. Just my humble opinion.. and this is coming from a guy that mixes a mixture I call "Alien Ant Mix".. hahah

I did a really popular blog post about this. Your past customers can be a gold mine! Here is the blog post: Marketing Techniques For Pressure Washing Business

Dan Kennedy... THE best marketer I know once said, "Poor people get paid after they do the work, Rich people get paid BEFORE they do the work". Figure this out in your marketing and your business will change.

Here is Larry on video showing how to troubleshoot burner issues: I posted this on my website cause Larry has a way of simplifying it.

I would much prefer a conservative for governor... we already have a governator that calls himself a Republican. He's more of a RINO.

yep, me likey, Beth. :clap: Maybe a smiley option in the quick reply toolbar?

That pole worked about as well as the whole hopeandchange thing...

I don't want to post one of mine on a public forum, but I will post this example and help describe what (I think) is good about it. This example is one of the few good ones I see from big box stores. Most are branding crap that isn't conducive with what we try to accomplish as small business owners. Good things: - Headline with benefits - Several calls to action - Coupon w/ expiration date - Tracking codes are some of the things that we should copy in ALL of our direct mail advertisements.

I lost $800+ on a complex grease containment system once... The guy called back a couple days later saying that his fan motor wasn't working... I have no idea what happened :lglolly: Then, he called back a couple years later saying that he needed his exhaust system cleaned or he would be shut down and was willing to pay anything. Poor guy got shut down for 4 days. I think I won.
