I had the opportunity to start a window washing business the summer of 2023 but really took time to scale it in the summer of 2024. After careful research I invested in the right equipment and spent long hours going door-to-door to connect with potential customers. This hands-on approach helped me build a strong client base and improve my skills in talking to people and making sales. As the business grew, I hired and trained high school students to help with the work, which taught me how to lead and manage a team while providing them with job opportunities. While meeting with customers, I looked for ways to offer additional services, which helped boost our sales. This experience sharpened my business skills and taught me the importance of good customer service and efficient operations.
