BDs fail mostly because they suck as bizpeople and/or aren't SELF motivated enough

But can do fine and excell in a "real job" setting where someone else sets the hours and runs the biz end of things

I reckon lack of self motivation might be prevelant in Redeye'dington CA

A commissioned sales job might not be the best position for them, but crew leader or management might work well

They fail because their client base will never allow for the $350+ job average that most economies require to turn a profit.


Hoping the $125 to $150 will magically double if they start offering scotchgard or stay beautiful programs is a pipe dream that the wife's job cant support for too long

As much as I am disliking the $75 apartment I did today it was better than nothing. Didn't hear back from the management company on the one that might be $300 plus.

I think the problem lies in the OO that won't work hard enough. Want to hire some sap for labor who doesn't have a clue. Income tax is another killer.

All of our employees sign a 5 year, 100 mile non compete. That’s our franchise. Not sure about the other locations.

You can have them sign it, but something like that would never be enforceable. Some states make non competes illegal.

You're lucky to get one enforced for a year and 30 miles. And if they can prove it prevents them from earning a living, then it wouldn't be recognized. You'd also have to prove they actually took work/clients from you to sue them....then there is the hassle of suing and costs associated.

My lawyer told me that 2years was the max I could put it and win in a lawsuit. But I'm sure Stanley is wanting to just make it aware to their new employees that it would be super hard to start their own business after working for them, so just putting that in their heads probably prevents these problems from happening

Company in Calgary had all employees sign one in the early eighties. Completely unenforceable as it restricts you from plying your trade.

It was enforced once when we first had it drafted. Now that there is a court precedence set all we do is send a cease and desist letter. Not a single other one has made it to court. That court presence is the key.

I can wipe my ass off with any no compete contract after taking a stinky dump. Even if those coul be enforceable, one can register the biz under a family member name (wife) ang work as a general manager for her. After the contract expires, chance the biz ownership. Done.

Sure, if they dont spend the industry average of $70 per customer to acquire them, then $75 in fancy deodorizers.

Or have matress money to wait out the 1st five years..
