Nuggets:

  • You can often dominate a local business niche by implementing current marketing and technology (e.g. residential cleaning)
  • People often get excited about new tech (drones, 3D printing, etc…) but their enthusiasm wavers before the breakthrough tech makes a sizable impact on the real world. There’s plenty of opportunity implementing tech from five years ago.

Action Steps:

  1. Contact Lucid Drones and get pricing for leasing one of their cleaning drones
  2. Investigate permitting in your local city
  3. Pre-sell window cleanings to several property managers (they often sign yearly contracts)
  4. Your selling point is that your clients will never have to talk to you again after signing up. You take window cleaning off their plate so they can focus on other things.
