Focus on Your Future Coming to Town
March 5, 2010
Clockwork Home Services Inc. will hold three meetings designed to provide independent contractors with strategies to use buying power, state-of-the-art technology, and new advertising strategies to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The special events will be initially held in three cities, Orlando on March 26, Las Vegas on April 16, and Dallas on May 7.
As the competitive landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years, Clockwork Home Services, Inc. has grown its membership, and its three franchises have been ranked among the nation’s top franchises according to Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Franchise 500” for 2010.
The company has identified three key factors that all successful companies exhibit: Buying right, advertising right, and getting the most of their people. During the three Focus on Your Future events, Jim Abrams, CEO of Clockwork Home Services will moderate the meetings for independent contractors coming from the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades. Abrams has not spoken to contractors outside of the Clockwork groups for many years, and expects this to be one of his last road shows. He said, “I’m 62 years old, been in the industry for 35 years, and really don’t like to travel. But, I do like to see contractors succeed, so I will do these three events.”
Abrams began in the HVAC industry as an in-home salesperson for Trane, went on to open a one-man HVAC shop in St. Louis, which later became Service Experts. He took that company public on the NASDAQ, led it to the New York Stock Exchange, and then retired. In 1999, he came out of retirement to co-found Clockwork Home Services. Abrams will also be seen on an upcoming edition of Donald Trump’s “The Celebrity Apprentice®” where Clockwork’s three brands will task the celebrities to come up with a commercial. The three brands are One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning®, Ben Franklin Plumbing®, and Mister Sparky®.
In addition to the three key facets of the meetings, Abrams will present a special bonus workshop, Buy For a Dime, Sell For a Dollar in which participants will learn how to find and acquire companies inexpensively or how to prepare to get the highest price for your business.
The registration investment for Focus On Your Future is $99.00, and the first 100 people registered will receive free admittance to the event. In addition, every attendee receives a $237.00 buying credit, and will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes with a chance to win a $1,000.00 credit to your favorite supply house, and a chance at the grand prize, a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Extended Cab Truck.
