325: He Turned Down Investment Banking to Start a Pressure Washing Company
I'm joined by Parker Thomson, who walked away from an investment banking track at Gonzaga at 20 to start P&M Pressure Wash with no money, selling jobs door to door and subbing every one out under his own brand. After joining our program, he went from $178K in his first six months to $625K so far this year, with a 10-person team and a third truck on the way. We break down how he got himself off the truck and into sales, why service plans raised his average ticket by about $300, and how his team keeps selling with door answer rates down to 20%.
