Hello WCR and fellow Professional Window Cleaners!
My name is Frankie Garcia of [B]Clearview[/B] and this is my first post to this forum. I reside in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona where it’s sunny and warm just about nine months out of the year.
Brief Bio on me: I come from a family that has been in the Commercial Services industry here in Metro Phoenix since the late 1970’s, so I am no stranger to this type of work. I have been cleaning Store Fronts for a client with multiple locations strewn across the Valley for about five years now, part/full-time, while paying my way through College (the account actually belongs to my Father but he turns over about 75% of the revenues to his “starving student”).
Long story short (aren’t they all?), I decided to go a different direction as it relates to my career and that direction was Professional Window Cleaning. I stumbled across this fantastic website by chance and am deeply grateful that such a resource exists! I have every intention of joining the Association as soon as the cash flow permits but in the meantime can only participate as a spectator and commenter…
Because I’m still a “starving student”, my equipment is that of “Bucket Bob” and his Nephew, “Johnny Quickbuck” but I am well-groomed, professional in appearance & etiquette and my window cleaning technique is absolutely first-class (I really say so with the utmost humility). Coming from a family of service professionals, I know firsthand how to treat the client and fellow service professionals. Though I love competition in the marketplace, I always champion professional courtesy, never badmouth another business owner, nor would I want to step on anyone’s toes, so to speak.
My goals are to service Residential and larger Commercial accounts (no more storefronts!!!) and grow to a level that lands me in the top 20% of this industry (à la Brian Tracy).
Thanks again to all who have participated in past topics, they are awesome!
