  • Half off for students

    Posted Dec 14th, 2011 By Chris Lambrinides in WCRA News With | No Comments

    I started my window / pressure cleaning business when I was in college. At that point I could have really used what the window cleaning association has to offer, but it may not have been in my price range. So for 2012 we have decided to cut the price in half for all students involved in the window / pressure cleaning business.

    Anyone with a .edu address that is currently enrolled in high school or college can now pick up a WCRA membership for half price right here:

Do you want to maximize your personal income? Do you want to see how much is available to pay the staff you want to hire, perhaps an office person, perhaps a field general manager? It can be seen simply right here.

    Posted Oct 10th, 2011 By Bruce Ferguson in Uncategorized With | No Comments

    Do you want to optimize your present business so it better aligns with your personal goals? Maybe instead you’re wanting to maximize something specific like productivity, profits or personal income as you expand? Or perhaps you are ready to grow to the point where you put down the squeegee for good?

    Whatever your goals may be, the library of the premium content of the WCRA is constantly growing to help you and your business be just where you want to be.

    For example, the new visual Growth Budget Planner tool is separated by business function instead. This helps you easily understand in a visually different way how the money is divided up as your business expands. It’s set up with the averages of 7,515 window cleaning companies that have revenues less than $499k a year. This lets you start off with a benchmark of where these window cleaners have ended up so far and then, most importantly,  you can tweak it from there with any what if scenario you want to find out: How much can you afford to pay an office person? a sales person? how much needs to come in from the field guys? How much will your personal income end up at? How much per man hour would you need to charge, or realize?

    To gain access to this planning tool and the whole library of WCRA premium content to help you optimize, maximize or grow your business, sign up for your membership now. As a free gift, the first 10 who sign up once this blog posts will receive a free 1 year subscription to the WCBO magazine, so hurry!
