Building and Scaling my Exterior Property Wash Business

[Luke D]

Hey @Ben_ I just wanted to say keep going mate!

I'm also a reformed Australia based accountant, but a bit (well quite a bit) older than you. I also acquired a trade business last year, there are definitely opportunities to apply white collar skills to trade businesses here.

I was looking at a job yesterday (circa $200k) and the facility owner (who I know) had tried to get the previous owners of our business out there in the past, but they never returned their calls. That was for some maintenance, but now they are ready to spend the money on updating the facilities, and the opportunity would have been missed without my existing relationship.

If the old owner had returned that call and done the maintenance, our business would have been the first person they called to price up the replacement. The bar is pretty low in a lot of industries, just a human on the end of a phone with some follow up puts you in front of 80% of the competition.

Get after it!
