Web Based Business Training

Doug Rucker

Roundtable Host 2009
I am going to begin offering a web based school within the next couple of weeks. Over the last 2 years that my school has been opened, I have had many requests to offer something like this. Training will be via recorded videos, as well as live/recorded webinars. I will also have many videos up of training from job sites. Members will also be able to request videos on topics that they would like for me to discuss, as well as customized video's of something they would like to see.

You can choose to be a Charter Member or a Premium Member.

Charter Member $149.99 (limited time introductory offer)- this is a one time fee and you will never pay again. I already have a few videos up and will be adding more and more as I can record them. At certain points the price will start going up in increments, and will eventually max out at about $750.00, which is the same price as the school if you were to attend here. But, once you pay the Membership Price, at whatever that price is at that time, you never pay again, so you are not affected as the price increases. All videos are recorded, with me speaking, and I am either teaching with a power point presentation or actual videos that are recorded from job sites that we are doing. There will be lot's of "how To" videos that will give you as close to that hands on training feel as I can get. For instance I will have actual video of me cleaning and teaching as I clean a roof, a house, a driveway, a pool deck, rust removal, etc etc, I will have videos showing the difference between cleaning using a Dedicated Pump, an X jet, Downstreaming, when to use which method and when to not, etc. Cleaning different surfaces such as stucco, EIFS, different sidings, wood, brick and more. I will also have videos about marketing, sales, forms for your business, customer service, how to build a repeat residential clientele, tips and tricks to clean more efficiently and easier etc, and many many more that cover a wide variety of topics. The first 10-12 videos that are up now are, basic general videos designed for people that are just opening their business. In these I discuss:

1- First Things First- Getting your business started
2- Environmental Preparation
3- Hands On Training
4-Equipment Needs
5-Getting Practice
6-Your First Customer Contact
7-Estimates
8- Estimates Using Google/Bing Maps
9-Intro to House Washing
10-Quick Sales Basics for your first Estimate
11-House Wash Basics for your first Job.

Again, once you pay the one time membership fee, you never pay another dime. And you can access any of the videos as many times as you want.

You can also choose to be a Premium Member for an additional $99.00 a month. This requires a minimum 1 Year commitment. And is automatically paid each month via PayPal.

Premium Members Get:

Access to all the above, PLUS,

Personal One On One Coaching/Consulting via Phone/LIVE Webinar Once a week at a scheduled time
Customized recorded Videos and Webinars, and personal coaching designed for YOUR business
Access to Recorded Video and Webinar training from my chosen "Voices of Experience" industry veterans.
And more benefits added as time goes on.

Summary: What this is
This is a web based school that is designed specifically for the person(s) that are just starting out in this business, or are looking at possibly adding exterior cleaning to an existing business. It is designed to help you from the beginning stages of setting up your business through getting your first customer and job, to completing it and many more like it.

What this isn't: It is not designed to sell you any other products than the web based training itself. I will not be selling you cleaning products, equipment, books, magazine subscriptions, hats, tshirts, etc etc. I will refer you to many people that I trust that can sell you those items. What and whom you choose to buy them from is up to you. It also does not offer you any kind of success or fortune, BUT, it does offer you some tools and education to assist you as YOU work hard to make YOUR business a success, however you may define that.

That I like Doug. Great way to do it and makes it affordable for those interested. Laura, Greencastle Design my web person you know her and I are building a DIY home owners for cedar roof cleaning same concept only a one time fee. That is why I set up a green screen Chroma key studio in my house for the video's. My editing guy is good with green screen production. Toying with the same concept for cedar roof cleaning to those many requests I get about cleaning cedar. The problem is finding the time. LOL I already have the site to do such www.thecedarcleaners.com it isn't built yet though the site is live as to what will be offered. Off subject: Anyone ever figure out why my return won't work on this forum when posting? Have to run everything together. It works on other forums.
 
Doug, I think you are doing the right thing.
 
Sounds like a great original idea Doug, if I can help you, let me know.
 
Great idea Doug. Last summer was my first year in business. Learned much, but so much more to learn to grow. Thanks to these boards we can learn something everyday and now with your online classes available we can revisit the videos as needed. This will be a great tool for anyone starting out or someone that is looking for advice from a veteran business owner. You can count me in to join. Best of luck!
