Skyline Robotics is changing that.In this episode of Building Better, Ross Blum, President and COO of Skyline Robotics, discusses how their flagship robotic system, Ozmo, is transforming facade maintenance through automation. Ozmo cleans windows three times faster than traditional methods, reduces risk for human workers, and creates new opportunities in the industry.The conversation explores the challenges of implementing robotics in an established industry, how trust is built with stakeholders, and the role of human labor in automation.

This week on Nation, we talk all about the differences in residential and route window cleaning. Now I know you are thinking to yourself, “Yeah, I know they are different.” But there is more to it than that; they are different in how they are sold, upsold, and cleaned. The frequency of cleaning the windows of a storefront versus a house is huge. But something as simple as why they buy is also different. You can't sell a home the same way you do a storefront.

In this episode, Keith explored the crucial skill of discernment in business decisions. He shared insights from his experiences in the landscaping industry, emphasizing that saying no can be more beneficial than saying yes to everything. He discussed the importance of focusing on core services, understanding the risks of overextending, and utilizing smart subcontracting.

As your business grows, reinvest in new, reliable equipment. Remember, "buy nice or buy twice." Pricing and Profitability: Ensure proper pricing strategies by charging enough to cover costs and desired profit margins. Aim for at least a 50% gross profit margin by multiplying your cost estimates by two.

Keeping your landscaping and service business on track can be challenging, but Keith has some great tips and stories today. In this $13,000 project, he and his crew dealt with everything from chopping down massive arborvitaes to detecting hidden PVC pipes. Keith explains the importance of saying "no" to things that aren't in your wheelhouse and why sometimes you need to learn the hard way. In addition, Keith shares some insights from other successful businesspeople who have discovered that streamlining your services can transform your business. It's a proven fact that focusing on your team's strengths will save time, reduce costly errors, and increase your bottom line. The key is letting go of the mental blocks and old stories that make you think you have to do everything when focusing on what you're good at is more efficient. We've covered you with real-life business stories full of practical advice to help you run your business more smoothly and efficiently.

As tempting as it might be to take on every opportunity, focusing on what you excel at brings better results and client satisfaction. The Power of Specialization: Concentrate on a select few services your team performs exceptionally well. This approach not only streamlines operations but ensures consistent quality and efficiency, allowing you to train new employees and serve your clients with excellence quickly. Embrace and Overcome Mental Barriers: Understand that many perceived obstacles in managing a business, such as controlling quality and needing to be physically present, often exist in your head.

In today's episode, Keith dives into a pretty intense story that could really make you stop and think. A few years back, in 2021, Keith had a near-miss that none of us would ever want to face—he almost got seriously hurt while working on a tree job near some high-voltage power lines. And he's shared why that experience serves as a major wake-up call about the realities and risks of working close to electricity. Keith's not just telling this story for kicks—he hopes it opens eyes and might even save a few lives. We'll hear how important it is to be cautious and learn about electrical safety so that nobody finds themselves in a similar scary situation. So, if you're in the green industry or know someone who is, you'll want to stick around and listen to this one! Check out these episode highlights: 00:00 Trimmed branches with a telescopic pole saw. 03:17 Felt weird after a close call with danger. 07:13 Firefighter calls it a miracle: mild injury. 10:09 Assume wires are live; check safety videos. Key Takeaways: Keep Your Eyes Peeled: Power lines might look like they're far away, but give them respect and distance—always. Assume Every Wire is Hot: Whether it's an electrical, phone, or even a cable line, treat them all like they're live. Better safe than sorry, right? Know Before You Go: Watch safety videos on electrical hazards and tree work. A little knowledge goes a long way toward keeping you safe.

This week on Nation I want to talk about everything I love, and the things I really DONT love about window cleaning.

This week on Nation lets talk about the exciting world of numbers. OK well, its kinda boring, i know. BUT its the most important thing you can to do to know your company. Are you doing good? are you doing bad? what is the truthful state of your company?

Today on Nation I want to talk about increasing your close rate on your window cleaning bids. Yes pricing your window cleaning is important. But actually getting them to book is the only thing that matters. If they book with you, you have started the process and shut out any competition. If you don't book the job, then it didn't matter if you were cheap, expensive, or the best choice. It wasn't closed and you wasted time, and so did the customer. A lot of people dont think its their skills that either close or not, but the “cheaper” window cleaner. Don't have excuses…just be better! Need supplies? Let me know! I would love to do that for you!

Today at nation we're talking all about the things that don't work. There are more ways to waste money than to actually invest it in yourself. And for some reason window cleaners want to prove it to themselves. But I'm telling you, over the past 20 years and talking to probably thousands of window cleaners, I know the things that don't work 99.9% of the time. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel, if somebody's already tried it. I think that knowing what does not work is sometimes more valuable than knowing the things that do work. Because if somebody who's wasted money and advertisement and “great Ideas, “I've voiced a lot of money so you don't have to" Need supplies? Let me know! I would love to do that for you!

This week on Nation we talk all about the skill of upselling. I know Upselling can come off spammy at times, and if done wrong. But Upselling is helping your customer get more done, WHILE saving some money at the same time. Its the way of letting an existing customer know what other services you offer, and how there are other ways you can help. Its a win win. AND upselling can increase your average stop AND average ticket, with the same number of customers and the same number of stops. You want to make more money right? Well…lets talk about it!

Keith Kalfas reflects on his experience in the window cleaning business, sharing how trusted customers fired him after they raised their prices despite years of service. This realization led them to advise others to seek out clients who value their worth, rather than complaining about existing customers. This episode underscores the importance of finding clients willing to pay fair prices and hints at applying this lesson to the landscaping business, emphasizing a new pricing minimum. "Go find customers who can pay what you're worth." - Keith Kalfas Topics Covered: Introduction: Realizing the Value of Your Work Facing Rejection: The Reality of Raising Prices Taking Action: Finding the Right Customers Understanding Your Worth: A Pricing Example Key Takeaways Knowing and Valuing Your Worth: You may have long-term customers who seem to care about you, but this doesn't always translate to them valuing the worth of your services. When the time comes to increase your prices to match or even come close to the industry standard, some clients may choose to leave instead of paying the increased price. Take Action: Instead of lamenting over clients who refuse to pay what you're worth, the focus should be on finding new customers who can and will pay for your services at your desired rate. It's crucial to proactively seek out and secure customers who understand and can afford your pricing. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: The lesson from a landscaping pricing example applies similarly to window cleaning: setting a minimum price threshold can help in maintaining profitability and ensuring that your services are being appropriately compensated. Adjusting to a new pricing model, like the $700 minimum mentioned, although challenging, is necessary for growth and sustainability.

And this one always fascinates me. Someone who says “Oh i cant charge more, or my customers wouldn't XYZ” is completely made up. they say this but no one can know what all of their customers do.

Simple rain delays and reschedules can cost a window cleaning company thousands a month. And you all know we are like squirrels. Especially in the summer months. It's important to be mindful of how you spend your time and where is it going when its too hot, too much rain, or whatever the case may be. There is always something to do and something to learn.
