AC Lockyer - Softwash A Polooza

Soft washing was developed by AC Lockyer with his knowledge and experience in plant sciences and horticulture. AC knew that the bacteria, molds, fungi, and algae growing on the exterior of buildings were more closely associated with an infection than a stain. Knowing this AC drew from his experiences and combined the technology of treating pests and fungus on plants with compatible cleaning chemicals, thereby inventing a method of soft washing.

Tom Ziglar - A Discussion On The Changing Landscape Of Business Today

What a thrill to talk to my friend, Tom Ziglar!  Many years ago I was very much influenced by Tom's dad, Zig Ziglar.  Zig would talk to me as I drove my car from account to account while I worked my sales route.
After almost wearing out the cassette tape in my car's tape deck, I gained the courage and inspiration to quit my job and become an entrepreneur at the age of 37.  I had a 2 year old son, and my wife was pregnant with our daughter at the time I came home and told my wife that I wanted resign from the corporate world to pursue my dreams.  The rest is history!
 
Tom and I discuss the everchanging business climate today, and how we as small business owners have to navigate these uncertain waters.  I know you will truly enjoy this episode of Bring On Success...
 
Tom Ziglar's Bio -
Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar, Inc., not only shares a last name with his father, Zig Ziglar, he also carries on his philosophy: ”You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” He is boldly taking Ziglar, Inc., into the world of social communities, Twitter, blogs, and live video webcasts to present the tried-and-true message of hope, integrity, and positive thinking to a whole new audience.

The Blueprint for a Killer Home Service Brand.
Now is the time to invest in your home service branding and build a brand that is unique and disruptive. This book gives you the blueprint for how to build a brand that stands out, attracts the right clients and employees, and wins the hearts and minds of your ideal customer. Covering the basics from naming and tagline to the logistics of building a disruptive wrap, you’ll learn how better branding yields a much-improved marketing ROI and a smaller marketing budget.
This book features real case studies from home service business owners. You’ll read about the results their new brands have had, and the effect not only on revenue but internal culture. Imagine your home service brand standing out instead of just fitting in (blanding). What would happen for your home service business if it had a unique, and disruptive brand that people remembered when they needed service?
Written by Dan Antonelli, the Creative Director and President of KickCharge™ Creative, this book leverages his nearly 30-year track record of developing some of the most successful home service brands in the country. With over 2000 brands to his credit, Dan shares his winning formula to get inside home consumers’ minds and help create a brand that connects them to your home service company. When it comes to branding, home service companies have two choices: Build a disruptive brand and spend less on marketing or overspend on marketing to overcome a poor brand. Most choose the latter, which creates an opportunity for your company to take market share by building a truly disruptive brand!
