National Service Providers (NSP) in North America - love 'em or hate them, they still provide work. But how good are they at paying? Join & add to the national list if you know one near you or have worked for one here. Hopefully it will turn into a large permanent database, where window cleaners can relate & work out if it's in their interests to work with any independent service provider.

It updates in real time & shows what other window cleaners across the World are charging for window cleaning services. Ever wondered how your your pricing stacks up against the competition?

Customer Service Factory Free Videos

Free videos for the window cleaner.

Wondering what Curt Kempton of Responsibid & the "Best window cleaning company in the World" is doing now?   Curt Kempton’s approach to his business being a “Customer service business… that happens to do windows” has been the slogan that has led him to reaching many of his business and personal goals.  His passion for business systems and focus on working ON his business, rather than the day-to-day operations has let him create a profitable business that is synergetically connected to his internal beliefs and feelings. 

I asked Curt, about his new FREE start-up video information page for window cleaners & what he had to say..

"Customer Service Factory is a way to pay back all of the kindness that was given to me when I first started my own company."  "I have never had an original thought in my life, yet I enjoy collecting great ideas from other (wiser) people and riffing off of them." 

Riffing?

My hope is that my life’s work is building other people to meet their full potential and dreams.  I was put on this earth to enrich others lives, and in so doing have found so much more meaning in my own life. he also adds.... "The old adage “sitting on the shoulders of giants” is my mantra."

Customer Service Factory is built by a service provider to bless other service providers to the best of his abilities.

Who is Curt Kempton? This video is to announce the new 2 day workshop in Huntsville, Alabama - where Curt is one of the speakers.

Steve Jobs & Window Cleaning Innovation

Click the picture.

Curt here, from 5 Star Window Care, in Phoenix, AZ.  I've been cleaning windows here for about 6 years and I thought I'd drop you a line...

Have you ever been to a party when someone comes over and asks you what you do for a living?  I always introduce myself as a "window cleaner" and back in the early days I used to wonder if it embarrassed my wife.  I was comfortable with the fact that I was an entrepreneur - who just happened to clean windows, but still... I worried about how my wife would feel... and if secretly she resented it. 

Now I know that she wears "5 Star Window Care" as a badge of honor, but at the time I wondered.

Anyway, I really believe that we, as window cleaners, are in one of the most amazing professions.  It's just that because our industry isn't as flashy as others it's easy to get the thought stuck in our head that "innovation just doesn't apply to me".

But it does.

And with the passing of the visionary (like Apple or not), Steve Jobs - I did a half hour video today reflecting on some of the most innovative and profitable things I've done at 5 Star Window Care, and even put together some stuff I know will help you a ton in your business.  I hope you love it.

Early this year I released a window cleaning technology tool built for websites to help with the bidding process and for the next day or so I am going to offer an absurdly special deal that should help you to see if you'd love it as much as we do. All the best, Curt.

You don't send your window cleaners out without squeegees; don't send your website out without ResponsiBid. Check out why your company is losing money every day out without ResponsiBid!

• Forces somebody who is genuinely interested in your services and anxious for a price to give you their contact information. 
• Causes the website visitor who is genuinely anxious for services you offer to think a little harder about what they’re asking for (essentially to invest a little of their time into the process — but not as much time is waiting around the house for you to come by).
• Gives a competitive bid that the prospect can see is obviously well thought out. They know that you won’t get there and start changing your mind on the price… they know it’s good because they counted or entered in accurate information.
• Allows this to all be done at the exact moment that the customer is MOST interested in your services!
• Most importantly, after the customer gets this far through the process they are able to take action immediately! They can move on with their life, confident that their window cleaning problems are under control.

This iPad the 32GB (for massive storage) 3G + WiFi (for total mobility) model - like all the others, can sync with Google calendar.  I have used this in my business and I love being able to have a totally readable, adjustable, synced calendar of everything I’ve got going on in my life and for my crews. Like your smart phone, you can look at the schedule, but unlike your phone, you can read what’s going on.

Package Options: Window Cleaning Businesses are all different. There is a pricing option for everyone. Keep in mind that there is no functional difference between any of these packages when it comes to how it will work on your site. The goal here is to provide everyone with an option that makes sense for them. Curt guarantees that no matter which option you choose, it will translate to the cheapest employee you have ever hired– and this one will never get tired.
