Car Wash Industry Needs a New Water Strategy for the Future
The Car Wash Industry has been under considerable stress lately with their public relations; this time it is over the hiring of illegal aliens and illegal immigrants. Early on the car wash industry tried to attempt to justify the hiring of illegal aliens stating; There Is Just No Way for Us to Know If Someone Is a US Citizen or Not.Of course we all know this was a cop-out and they know that they are hiring people who are illegal aliens even though the carwash owners claim that they had some sort of ID and how were they to know if it was fake or not? We all know that they knew.Having been in the carwash industry for some 27 years I can tell you that there is an even bigger issue on the horizon than illegal immigration for the carwash association’s public relations department
Praise for a job well done! Was the response most frequently given to me during my six-month Employee Loyalty Survey in 1995. At seminars across the country, I asked attendees to tell me the one thing that would improve their company loyalty.

Need Some Start A Business Information?
So, you're poking around the net looking for a bit of start a business information are you? Well, I won't pretend to be a business genius, I'm not, but I do know what it took me MENTALLY when I started this business of mine and maybe this advice will help.When I was looking for 'start a business' information, I made the HUGE mistake of asking friends and family what THEY thought of the idea. Guess what...they thought it was insane. Even though they loved me and cared for my financial well-being, almost all of them thought the idea was a house of cards.What I later came to understand is that these people do NOT understand the mindset of someone want to start a business. They just don't. Most people are CONDITIONED to believe that work takes place AWAY from the home and that r

Entrepreneurs Sometimes It Pays To Be Flexible – Sometimes It Does Not
Entrepreneurs are often told to be flexible in their approach to business, but often it is imperative that you are NOT flexible. Here’s a few examples.When it pays NOT to be flexible. Prices: Keep your standard prices at the same levels for several months. This makes your offers much more believable. Customer Contact: Always personalize contact with your customers. Obviously when you have many customers much of your documentation is standard. But you must always add personal items such as their name, what they last bought from you and when. This makes your customer feel wanted and individually looked after. Marketing Material: You should ensure that your products are instantly recognizable by using the same naming convention, lo

Change Management Issues in the Car Wash Business
We hear a lot about the new buzzword; change management all throughout the trade journals in almost every industry and every industry sector in corporate America. Seldom do we realize that change management issues do also affect smaller businesses.Having been in the auto services industry for over 27 years I can tell you that the car wash business is one business which is always concerned with change management and often they lack succession plans as well. In fact car wash industry consolidators who go around and buy up used carwashes often buy them from car wash owners who are retiring and either do not have kids to run them or wish to get out of the business completely rather than hiring a manager to run it for them.This is because car wash businesses are generally a cash

Adding Business Value: How do you Add Value in your Business?
When owners of small businesses want me to coach them to grow and expand their business, I often find that they are have reached a ceiling in selling their goods (products and services) and have run out of ideas for moving forward.As I talk to them about how they currently add value to their customers' lives and to their company's assets, I find that few of them actually understand what value is. Memorably, Warren Buffett (CEO of Hathaway) said in 1999, "Price is what you pay when you buy an asset, value is what you receive for your money".Revenue - Cost = Value added Accountants say that value is the residue left when costs are subtracted from revenues. As a simple equation, this hides more meaning than it reveals.In greater detail, successfu
