Hello, I'm Lenny Schrecengost from Virginia, with my sons Brian and Jeromy we have Lenny's power Washing. I started my business inthe spring of 2000 part time. doing residential cleaning. I wanted to grow and do commericialso I bought a hot water machin in the spring of 2001. That fall Ron started a training thread "Shopping Centers"
Basicly he tought anyone that wanted to learn how to make unsolicted proposals. I never thought it would work untill I tried it. The first pm I contacted I did a test demo. We never did clean that small center but he gace us several large ones.
That pm has moved aroud so much I lost tract of him but we still give unsolicted proposals. I like to have a price prepared so the first time we get to talk to the general manager or the p m of a property we can give them a quote.
Any newbies or anyone that wants to grow their business should look up the thread on PWI .
Lenny

Attending the Florida Round Table has helped to focus my business activities.
By listening to contractor experiences and talking to skilled business owners, I have taken some valuable information to implement in my own operation. For example, the week following this meeting was spent 'fine-tuning' my marketing approach and further defining my target markets. If I had not attended, I would undoubtedly still have been wasting time and money chasing the wrong people.
I have grasped a thorough appreciation for the importance of networking both inside and outside the industry. This has resulted in a concerted attempt to get my company name in front of as many people as possible - signed up for 2 industry related conferences in the month after this Round Table!!
Kory & Ron have laid some strong foundations for future Florida contractor meetings.
I have learned allot here at PWI. Everyone here has been very supportive. I never new about chemical cleanings before I was active here on PWI. I have met allot of very intelligent people and professionals as well. PWI is full of people who want to pass knowledge on and those who want to learn. NO ONE MAN has all the answers, but as a collective, the knowledge presented here is hard to beat.
This year, I am planning on doing a test. Under CONTROLED situations, I plan on using Caustic vs. our way of doing things. We will heat the water to only 180 degrees with the caustic on a garage oil stain.
Details in the months ahead.....
