Official Release: Accuwash launches roof cleaning training program

At least now we have somewhere to send the guys who call up saying, "Can you teach me how to clean roofs over the phone? I have an extra three hours until my shows come on and want to ask you a jillion questions."

:lol:
 
For you guys who haven't met Bill, I wouldn't judge him so fast. He's a pretty good guy in person plus he seems to handle himself pretty well here on the boards. In similar circumstances who doubts that Durbin would have blown a gasket by now in this thread?

Imagine making $2000 per day cleaning and taking time out to train three guys at $500.00 each. It doesn't sound like a huge money making proposition to me. It sounds like he's just trying to keep from losing money on it.

Intereting concept, but if it was me I would call Chris Tucker from Apple roof cleaning in Tampa. He gives advice free, and I dont think there is a comparison in knowledge. He proved his knowledge on these forums a long time ago.

Good Point Scott, but Chris spends 1/2 of his waking life on the phone, answering questions for free. Sorry to say that after 14 years of doing this, I am burnt out old friend. Many of you have no idea just how big roof cleaning has become lately ? I get from 1 to 3 calls a day from people wanting to "pick my brain" in between TV Shows, like Thad pointed out. Between my roof cleaning business, running the RCIA Forum, etc, etc, etc, I just don't have the time anymore to spend with people I once did. Bill offers a place to send these people to. I wish him well in his venture, and he has my "blessing".
My Lungs are shot from all the chemical exposure from thousands of roofs I have personally cleaned, and my right wrist needs replaced (Severe Osteoarthritis). MY roof cleaning days are pretty well done, and trainees are just a PITA for my employees trying to make a living in this whored out Tampa Economy. To train them correctly, they slow us down enough it effects our ABILITY to clean enough roofs to survive. I just don't want to be bothered with it.
I am finding that lately, it takes everything I can do just to survive in the roof cleaning business here in Tampa.
There is sooo much competition here I spend well over an hour, and often more, with each shopper, fighting against people I taught directly or indirectly in the first place !
That is a real "special " feeling.
I feel comfortable with Bill doing Hands On Roof Cleaning Training, and I support him.

I had no Idea Chris. You in my prayers man! You will be ok.
 
Actually we have stopped advertising our training program. It just took too much time from the main business. If we fire it up again I will announce it. We leave the ads up that already exist and take calls for it. We had maybe 8 last year that called and trained our last group in the early 2012 season. I still do lots of free consulting and events with free seminars. And we never charged the fee on their for consulting, just the training day.
