Wow! That pretty much sums it up. If you can't learn, comprehend, or make money from spending time with Joe then you should hang up your wands and go bag groceries or something. The amount of knowledge I was able to get from Joe in the few days spending time with him was unbelievable. Joe could sell a ketchup popcicle to a women in white gloves who's allergic to tomatoes.
There is a strip of road about a mile and half long by my house with about 15-20 restaurants and about 10 hotels. I now have every name, number, and email address to every GM on the strip. This is half the battle. Not only do I have every GMs info, but also have about 10 DMs info. People were eager to give this info to us. I did a sample cleaning for a restauraunt on this strip, with not the best results and a difficult GM. Joe made it his goal to go back to this restaurant and get me in. I did another sample cleaning and knocked it out of the park, with Joe's INCREDIABLE DEGREASER. Not only was the GM blown away, she brought a cleaning guy out from the restaurant to show him the incrediable differance. (posted pic) Not only did Joe loosen her up, but we toured the entire kitchen (it was BIG) and showed her what we could do for her. She was more than receptive and wanted prices immediatley. I know have an almost $2000 interior cleaning proposal out to her that will most likely be completed. We also did another demo for an interior for a DM that is in charge of 11 locations, that was very interested in my interior cleaning services. never thought I could put out 100 gallons inside a restuarant and not have anything to worry about. Pretty awesome.
Joe showed me his style of getting info, sales calls, cleaning, computer programs, and experiences. Joe has a style all his own and I can tell you from observing that it WORKS! If I could mimmick him, I would be making an absolute killing. Interior cleaning is a gold mine and hardly anybody does it. Within a year I can guarantee I'll be making more money doing this than any other service I offer. This kind of work is perpetual, not the "hey you cleaned my house a year ago, could you come do it again?" It's more like "hey, last month looked great, you are coming back this month right?"
He also showed me how to clean a gas station canopy for $200 and do it in less than an hour. SWEET! Nothin like making $200 in an hour.
I could go on and on writing about the 5 days we spent together, but I don't have that much time. All I can say is Joe is a great guy who knows way too much. I also had some serious personal issues goin on in my life, and Joe was MORE than a friend to me about the situation I was dealing with. He could of ignored it, but he took it head on and help get through it with his advice and experiences. He also brought to my attention some things that could be affecting my business and what I need to do to work on those too.
All I can say is THANKS A MILLION to Joe for the wealth of knowledge shared with me. I even gonna have him back up here, there was to much to take in, in the little time we had together, I want more!
Hey Joe, Post some of your million pictures you took.
Those pics of the grease removal.... VERY IMPRESSIVE. You did use a hot water machine I assume. I have been thinking of getting back into that type of cleaning I just hate the cleaning products. They make my skin feel weird but since there are so many exterior cleaners in my area I may just get back in it. I have used degreasers before but did not get the same results like this.

To much sneaky stuff for me. He gave you some learning and you lavishly praised his greatness. Hope you do well.
It's not really worth the nitty remarks for me.
Some of you guys know me, I am the restaurant cleaner / soft wash, big project guy. Some of us have met at the Tampa RT, and some of you guys have taken my interior class.
I teach interiors , polymeric commercial roof cleaning and mentor entrepreneurs on growing, managing and perfecting their business. I help newbie’s become pros and pros become elite in their markets.
My background is primarily commercial with special emphases on the restaurant markets, specialized industrial projects, and large commercial projects.
No, I do not have a website, just a reputation, although my friend Chris certainly does recommend I get one ASAP!
I help guys learn to sell, my way, with a smile and a laugh.
And far from a hands off business owner, when I am around home I am out there washing buildings and cleaning carpets as well.
I do thank you Shawn for your flattering words, I hope that I made a difference for you indeed. As Shawn said I show you guys how to get to the decision makers, how to recognize the need, and separate the want of purchasers. I teach a fundamental principal for sales as I see it, some of you guys have heard me say it many times:
BE A SALES MIND – NOT A SALES MAN
KNOW THESE PRINCIPALS-------àWHO – WHY – WHEN----à
I HOPE IN THE FUTURE THAT WE CAN ALL MEET AND BREAK BREAD.
Joe Crowder

no hoods, just floors and equipment. That's way to much nasty work to deal with, and not worth the money compared to what you can get with the other interior cleaning.

When Joe offers it though I will be taking his pizza oven cleaning class. He told this guy at dominoes a few hundred and the GM was like that's cheaper than what we pay now and those guys leave a mess and don't do an adequate job. There's a million pizza joints around here too.

Joe since you won't return my calls or answer my emails, heres a copy of the last email I sent you, and as you already know Jim F wants his money back too.
Joe, I am requesting a full refund for the class you offered. The class was not as you advertised and was of no value to me. You did not provide the materials advertised, marketing material, contracts, the hundreds of before and after pictures, etc.
The sales information was basic common sense, not the insight of an industry expert and the hands on training was nonexistent and never occurred.
The lack of professionalism displayed by the constant insults of others in the industry and your frequent checking of your ebay auction were distracting and a waste of time.
The demo of the kitchen floor cleaning was worthless and even the next day it was virtually impossible to detect that the floor was even clean.
The ‘field trip’ was a further waste of time as we couldn’t enter one establishment as you had ‘pissed off’ the owner the day prior. Your story of another general manager at a different establishment throwing you out also the day prior, shows very little evidence that this is a service these establishments would even use. The fact that I had to drive you and the other participants on the ‘field trip’ as you had no vehicle and made no provisions for transportation further demonstrate the disorganized, unprofessional nature of the class and its lack of value.
I respectfully ask that you provide a full refund.
my name is Clyde Sampsel the owner of H20 Powerwashing NJ. I participated in same class same day, same location. I sat next to you and Jim and I am disturbed of the comments you Garden State House Wash and Roof Cleaning are making here, so I will tell everyone my side of the of the story to the best of my ability.
Joe since you won't return my calls or answer my emails, heres a copy of the last email I sent you, and as you already know Jim F wants his money back too.
Joe, I am requesting a full refund for the class you offered. The class was not as you advertised and was of no value to me. You did not provide the materials advertised, marketing material, contracts, the hundreds of before and after pictures, etc
At the opening of the Class Joe asked each person, why did you come here, and you said " I don't know I just wanted to check out the class", then you said you wanted to learn how to clean grocery store coolers, well in all the discription of the course I seen it clearly did not say any where that this topic was included?, and as far as the advertising material, marketing, and etc was going to be mailed out on CD disc.
And for the concern of Jim, he came to the class to learn how to clean residential floors, again the course discription never said anything about cleaning residential floors, so I asked my self why either one of you came.
The sales information was basic common sense, not the insight of an industry expert and the hands on training was nonexistent and never occurred.
No hands on training? Joe gave you guys two options. option one) we can clean the entire restaurant kitchen where the meeting was held at 10:00 pm or we can clean a part of it now which was around 8:00 PM and you and the other guy opted for the early time because you didnt want to stay late, and even at the time of the cleaning you had no desire to pay attention you and the other guy was involved with other things. again I thought to my self why you even bothered comming to this class,
The lack of professionalism displayed by the constant insults of others in the industry and your frequent checking of your ebay auction were distracting and a waste of time.
I have no clue what your even talking about on this one, Joe was browsing the internet for class related things,
I don't recall Joe insulting anyone, on the other hand I clearly remember you personally insulting me and my company shirt I was wearing, remember you told me I should burn my shirts?
to be honest with you I didnt even feel comfortable being in that class because you was acting all arogant while carrying a chip on your shoulder.
The demo of the kitchen floor cleaning was worthless and even the next day it was virtually impossible to detect that the floor was even clean.
the biggest reason is that because the grout was black and it didn't show a big contrast after the cleaning.
The ‘field trip’ was a further waste of time as we couldn’t enter one establishment as you had ‘pissed off’ the owner the day prior. Your story of another general manager at a different establishment throwing you out also the day prior, shows very little evidence that this is a service these establishments would even use. The fact that I had to drive you and the other participants on the ‘field trip’ as you had no vehicle and made no provisions for transportation further demonstrate the disorganized, unprofessional nature of the class and its lack of value.
I was with Joe, and we didn't get thrown out of any restaurant, that was just a figure of speech and you knew that before you expanded on it.
You had to drive the participates on the field trip lol. It was a whole half mile down the road we could of all walked, and besides Joe said you guys can meet him there or we all can drive together.
And you failed to mention that Joe took us to Chili restaurant and bought us lunch while discussing all the cleaning possibilities there at that particular store and not to mention all the stores at the mall
I respectfully ask that you provide a full refund.
I clearly remember Joe asking you over half dozen of times, what can I do to help you, and please ask me more questions, and are you getting information and you was content.
so with all this being said I'm really deeply agitated at how you could try to attempt to discredit Joe on this board and ask for you money back.
I must say you are a idiot for this fabricated (non-sense post that you put up just so you can try to get a refund! you should be ashamed of your-self!
I edited this post a couple of times, I personally think Joe is a great guy, he goes completely out of his way to help you, he ask you over and over if you understand everything, I am just so disturbed how Garden State could post this non-sense, It's people like him that makes people not want to help others any more.
