The first step to any business is to receive the training required to succeed in that business.  Luckily for me I have been selling cleaning products for six years now.  So the great part about that is that I have a slight head start because I have learned what works and what does not.   Using my sales experience from working for one of the largest chemicals companies on the globe I am going to implement these skills and build relationships with potential customers and build clients out of all of them. 

I have all of my equipment purchased and all of my registration complete with the state.  The most important thing that i need to do now is get certified.  People use or buy services from someone that they know or trust.  That is what brought me here.  With certifications from IJCSA i can list being CCC certified and attract clients, not just customers.   Being certified will build trust.   Using the equipment that i purchased and the training and certifications i received i'm going to spend some time practicing removing stains on scrap carpet, cleaning my own homes carpet and tile and get use to the equipment, types of carpet cleaning, and chemicals used during both or all processes.  Once comfortable its time to knock on some doors!!
