How to build profitable routes seminar
planned for Nov. 15
Cleaners looking for the route to success
are invited to attend Al Robson’s Building Profitable
Routes seminar sponsored by Biz Builder Services.
The seminar will take place on Saturday,
November 15 at the Holiday Inn Select in La Mirada, CA. It will
focus on all aspects of profitable route building, which Robson
says is one of the quickest and most effective ways to grow
retail drycleaning sales.
Attendees will learn about route
penetration, including how to find and sign up customers
initially, as well as how to find additional good customers.
Both residential delivery and commercial business customers
will be discussed.
The session will also take an in-depth
look at: route mapping; the pros and cons of using a driver as
a sales representative; how to financially compensate drivers
and/or sales representatives; reporting relationships for route
personnel; daily, weekly and monthly reports; how to maximize
the sales volume of each route customer; and how to calculate
the profitability of routes.
The seminar will run from 8 a.m. until 5
p.m.
The cost is $399 for a single attendee or
$349 each for two or more attendees. The all-day seminar
includes a continental breakfast and box lunch.
An online registration form for the
seminar may be completed at the company’s web site:

San Diego association closes down
The San Diego Dry Cleaners Association
recently decided to disband after providing a local support
system for cleaners in the area for many years.
San Diego cleaners will be able to receive
industry guidance and assistance from the California
Cleaners Association, which is
offering complimentary six-month memberships to cleaners who
were currently members of SDDCA at the time of its dissolution.
In a press release announcing the offer,
CCA stated: “Association membership is so important with
all the changes happening within our industry between new
regulations, new technology and the actions of our legislature.
And, CCA is happy to offer these cleaners a way to continue
their participation in a vibrant industry
association.”
To make the transition, CCA’s San
Diego director Bob LaFave of Fairlane Cleaners will be
available to offer assistance and answer questions that San
Diego area cleaners have about membership and CCA. His phone
number is (619) 425-3263.
