So, I went to Memphis to learn about my ServiceMaster business officially. I was shocked to say in the least that Memphis has not really came out of the 1970's in alot of aspects. I am not talking about the look of the city....Germantown, were I was staying at the Hyatt Place Hotel was updated and beautiful. I am talking about SOME of the people, were it seems as the traditions of the south is still running far and free.
To say that I felt a little out of place would be a understatement. I would say that I am a modern liberal, with some leaning of being a independent voter. To swing to far to the right, so to speak, is much to far for me. Well, I ran alot into the far right wing and the openness to talk about the two "R's" and the "P" Race, Religion and Politics.....those famous discussions we stay away from up north...not to offend people we are not that comfortable with.
Regardless, there was many, many good points. First, I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to McAllister Deli, who feed us great the entire two weeks at the academy. Second SHOUT OUT is to the Home Office Travel and Planning department for giving us a great hotel room and other items that made me very comfortable with my visit their.....Crystal is the BEST!!! Third to the training set-up and the various trainers that really made ever effort to ensure that a new franchise understood the business model. ServiceMaster Clean training program is awesome and a special SHOUT OUT to Mike in the training department.
Also, I could not finish this blog without SHOUTING OUT the people that made my business venture possible.....Dave, Joe, Shane, Dinah and Gary!!! Thank you all especially, from the bottom of my heart for all of your effort to giving me this opportunity.
So, future blogs will be about the start of my business. Official, my start date was July 1, 2008 but I have been going feet first since the beginning of June. So, my blogging friends will have a step by step update of my first year in business. I hope you all enjoy reading my adventures.
