Community Relations Strategy for Small Business


Does your company have a community relation strategy? Have you even considered it? It is essential to have policies in place.

Franchising Companies Relationship Strategies


Franchising Corporations need to maintain an iron fist when it comes to certain things in order to maintain absolute integrity of the system; Consistency, Quality, Cleanliness and Customer Courtesy or Service. Ray Kroc in his book; "Grinding it Out" made that point perfectly clear, some called him a hard ass on the details and indeed it served him well and turned 11,000 franchisees into millionaires along with some 1500 executives early on.

There are a number of questions you will need to ask yourself in determining this fee such as what services you will provide to your franchisee team and what that will cost.

Mobile Pressure Washing and Cleaning Scheduling


If you own a mobile car washing, pressure washing or auto detailing business you know that when your crews and machines are parked and working that you are making money. You also know that when those units and crews are driving or stuck in traffic you are losing your shirt in costs and inefficiencies.
