Co. Franchise... Whether you dreamed as a child of being an astronaut, a doctor, lawyer or architect, I’ll bet you never dreamed of running a maid service company. If you did then WOW! You could be about to have your dream come true. If not, then let me tell you that after reading this you will perhaps find that you have discovered a new dream and you didn’t even know it until just now. Becoming a member of The Boardwalk Cleaning Co. family is like embarking on a journey that can take you sky high. What you are reading now isn’t about the details of how to run your own Boardwalk Cleaning Co., but rather it is about knowledge, empowerment, our company and how you might fit into our family. We are about family. Whether that family is a dog named Hoochie, beautiful twin children or a supportive virtual family., we operate like a close-knit unit, each with individual functions, but none able to function well on their own. We believe that this is fundamental to our success. So keep reading. We think you’ll like what you see. When you get right down to it, the details make the difference. This starts when we answer the phone, respond to an email or an instant message. We believe in answering the phone on the first ring, asking great questions in order to get to know the client and their home, making sure that all of the vehicles are properly stocked and that everyone is eager to get out there and clean homes just like they would their own. But wait, there’s more. The details are more than just what the customer sees. We have a top-tier training program, enthusiastic support staff, incredible support tools, out-of-this-world marketing and a core belief that if you pursue excellence, the goodness will follow. So, if you are a multi-tasker, a person who likes to wear more than one hat, a person who believes that the details do indeed make the difference then we think you should definitely keep reading. 3 Ⓡ Ⓡ Call us at (855) 726-2739
