You missed a detail on the clipped flyer. The clip will act as a bait to pick the thing up. No "random piece of paper has a clip attached to it." Once in their hand it has a greater chance of going in the house and getting "clipped " to something else. It gives the flyer staying power!
I'm about to start a softwash and pressure washing company. I took advantage of the stock market back in March and made a bunch of profits to buy everything outright, including a new extra long van

Excellent video Ray, this was pretty honest and straight to the point. Extremely encouraging for me at this point. I am out of money but I have some tools, so I have to continue pushing forward. Thank you, man, I must subscribe
Raymond, You are a brilliant hard working man with such a drive. I credit my first year success mainly to you and your informative content. Thank you so much Keep up the great work!
Only question i have is how do i pay employees? Do i pay him hourly or per job? I have a couple new pressure washers just sitting in the box never used i have enough jobs to get an employee i just don't onow how much to pay.another thing is since im still new all i know how to do is driveway washes im going to add home soft washes soon but im not experience yet last thing i want to do is damage someones property
Hi Ray - super cool, info packed (yet explained in a way easy to understand) video...I'm just getting started and appreciate you sharing your advice and experience!
This is actually a good video. Thanks. I just got my pressure washer today and used it on my driveway to get the hang of it and put the work in. I have a question that I have no answer to. When I first start do I need to open a business bank account or do I save up and then open on. If you can please give me a answer. Thanks.
Thanks for all the good info im in the same spot u was iv been doing the same job for almost 19 year and cant get no further with this job so im looking in to starting my own business
You will need to goto the register of deeds so you will have the paper work to open your business bank account. Here it cost like $30 and takes maybe 15min so sure why not unless you are planning on not being legit. Good luck!
Got a start up question.. Tried finding info about this all over and cant seem to find the answer. When you start out do you use the home owners water? or do you need to have a water tank from the start? And if you do use the home owners water do you give them the service with a discount? Just curious great info in this video by the way.. thank you
yes I always use the customers water, maybe 1 out of 50 has an issue with it. its mainly folks who are on a well and don't want to risk the pump being damaged due to draining the well. When on a well, be very hasty and conservative with the water usage. Hope that helps 👍
Man sir I appreciate the great and informative content you put out. As being new to this business (just starting up) I have learned alot just by watching your channel. Thanks again bud and you have your self a suscriber. Keep up the good work and great content. Give glory to God, Grind hard, Repeat.
I just bought a dewalt unit with a 4 gpm CAT pump/Honda engine and a 19" surface cleaner so hopefully I can get some real estate now to start generating an income
@@jackl135 not as well as I was expecting but I'm definitely not giving up on this. I presume its because of the holidays and the winter months as well. I have been taping business cards into people's mailboxes so hopefully I'll get a call sooner than later. Thank you kindly for checking in
I work for the county road department. Make sure if you are putting out signs, that you know the rules and regulations for signs in your jurisdiction. In my county, it is illegal to put any signs in the county right of way without permission. Also make sure you know where the right of way ends. Ours are anywhere from 20 - 60 feet wide as measured from the center of the road. We will come out and remove your signs. You won't get them back and you might be fined. I know you pay for those signs so don't lose them because you don't know the rules. We throw away truck loads of signs every month.
Hi Raymond, after looking at this video, it was very helpful for me because some of the thing i didn't know, keep up the good work. Stan Splash Exclusive Pressure Wash
You said $2000 for start up , did that include registration and business license, plus insurance?? That’s my only problem I’m having is figuring that out. Can you help?
That was a really good in depth video. Thanks for all of it. I’ve had a couple questions I been needing answered. How do I get a post card made ? And I don’t have Facebook so do I need a following to be able to use it fore the business?
That should be a TOP priority in my opinion. If you want to be legit and convert your marketing then you will need a good website as soon as you have the revenue to reinvest.
Hey I'm just starting and I don't have money for insurance or LLC do I need that to start? Or can I start off small and reinvest to get the insurance later?
Joshua Chelette you do not need insurance unless going on roofs. You can get it if you want but it’s just an extra expense. If your on roof I would go ahead and get it in case you fall or a shingle breaks or anything like that
@@Grinding2success I'd like to get it soon as I can because I will eventually be doing roof cleaning. I'm in Atlanta ga and most people around here like you to have insurance. But if they dont ask I dont tell.
I have started a pressure and soft washing business because I got laid off from the oilfield. Bought the stuff that I needed including business cards and have been handing them out religiously but still have not had any success. No a single call. Any suggestions?
@@ericp591 not too good although I just got my first call yesterday. I stopped handing out business cards because I had to get a job and they were working me 12 hours a day 6 days a week. I'm not giving up by any means. I want this bad. I just got a job back in the rig (land rigs) I start today, so I will have 2 weeks off at a time which will allow me more time to focus on getting out there when I'm on my days off. Thanks for checking in
Any suggestions on Google my business? I'm having problems listing in a near by bigger city but guys that are hours away, less reviews and no website are showing up. Guys that aren't even pressure washing services are showing up.🤷♂️
Google my business cross references with the city to verify business name and location, if you haven't you will likely need to register to do business or get a business license for each area you want to do service. It may then let you add those locations, or I should say it may list you in those locations as well.
When white people know something, they teach...ninjas are all on youtube trying to charge $499 to teach you how to start a pressure washing business smh .thank you Sir.

I’m about to buy my pressure washer stuff this weekend. I’m thinking about just driving around neighborhoods and knocking on doors on my days off.
So do you get paid upfront for your jobs or do you do a net 30, etc?

Hey, Ray. Great learning Chanel. I use the USPS EDDM section. It will tell you the high income zip code and area.
Great tip!
Did you have to offer a big discount on Facebook ads to get attention or just a straight before/after ad?
What’s the best crm you guys use

Hi,
Thank you for all the great information in starting up a pressure washing business.
Any time!
Dope video man! I was stuck on what to do for marketing and you made me realize marketing is about how many times someone sees your logo.
Awesome video thanks
Thanks for all the good info im in the same spot u was iv been doing the same job for almost 19 year and cant get no further with this job so im looking in to starting my own business
Should I register my business first before anything? Before even buying the equipment?
You will need to goto the register of deeds so you will have the paper work to open your business bank account. Here it cost like $30 and takes maybe 15min so sure why not unless you are planning on not being legit. Good luck!
350 customers is huge! We only did 118.
You will get there for sure! Keep grinding!
When you started were you running as sole proprietor or LLC?
At what point do you recommend getting a business license. How is this done?

Where do you order your shirts and hats from? Looks high quality
Ray, Do you use 3/8 or 1/2 inch on your pressure washer hose?
I like 1/2" from pump to the reel and then the first 50' on reel 1/2" then 3/8 after that. Get better flow that way!
