The 8020 Service Business

Episode 26: Meet Jim Dubois


Listen Later

Jim Dubois is The Godfather of the squeegee. He has been in the window washing industry for almost three decades. As a teen, Jim knew one thing for certain: he wanted to be an entrepreneur. After growing his first business to 600 storefronts and 300 residential homes, Jim sold it and was ready for a new goal.  One fateful day and a mattress store with dirty windows inspired him to start again, and that’s how Squeegee Pros began in 1996. Listen in as Jim explains his methodology for hiring events and offers sage wisdom on everything from systemization to pricing.

“People will pay for the best”

“We’re in the land of opportunity… there’s nothing wrong with making a lot of money”
