Transcript

I have been a Merry Maids owner for 15 years. I worked in a lumber mill for 10 years before coming across Merry Maids to purchase. We started with one Merry Maids franchise in Eugene, Oregon. Six years ago we bought two Merry Maids franchises in Portland, Oregon. Four years ago we purchased one in Seattle. Its been very good for us so far. I was a lumber grader for 10 years before buying Merry Maids. I did not know anything about running a business. What I love most about Merry Maids is the owners and how you can speak to owners freely. To say that they help me would be an understatement, but Im able to call any number of owners. I have never had an owner say, No, you cant have my number. Everybodys been extremely helpful. The home office has always been very helpful. In my dealings with them they never dont answer a question. They never If they dont know the question right away, they say, Hang on. Let me research it and find out for you and get back to me very promptly. The economy has been in a bad shape for a lot of businesses. It hasnt really affected our business at all. I think some of the marketing things that Merry Maids is doing and that we are doing as far as going with online search engine marketing has been able to drive phone calls to us. Just the Merry Maids name alone has been able to drive phone calls to us.
