"Dear Roger & Rusty,

Thanks for making my training time in Tennessee so very productive and enjoyable. Everyone treated me like family and I feel I have a solid support system behind me now. I learned so very much from Roger on how to run and operate this business. It is so much different than the other schools and franchise businesses that I researched.

As you know, I have started and managed large businesses in the past. After my lay off I had to do some serious soul searching, praying and just plain old fashioned research on what looked like wise business opportunities. I found this to be a solid business with minimal entry expense and a relatively quick return on my investment.

I had contacted students of other schools and while their education seemed sufficient in the methods and procedures to clean hoods--- they didn’t teach or help in marketing, accounting and generally running your business. If they wished to be in this business, they really needed a much more rounded education and support system to get them on their way to success. I found such an education at your school.

I learned one thing very early in my business experience of twenty plus years ---- you must know how to properly market your product or you will fail! Granted there are lots of other fundamentals that are absolutely necessary to succeed as well. I feel that with the training, the manuals, the marketing support and the shared information between graduates ----- all I have to do is exactly what I was told to do and it will undoubtedly progress into a profitable and fulfilling business that me and my family can grow.

In six months you can expect a follow up a letter from me on the progress of my business. Right now I’m feeling real good about where I’m going and I’m rolling up my sleeves to get to work. God bless you all and thanks again."

Sincerely,
Tom Mix

"I was very happy with the training I received at Hood Cleaning School. Roger's one on one training was top notch. He knows what you need and don't need in this business and will save you at least 10 years of learning from your mistakes. The trailer and the deluxe equipment package I purchased were all in excellent working order and exactly what you need to start cleaning restaurants. Rusty and Anne-Marie do a great job creating your master documents manual and they will have it ready for you to use on your own computer. I chose to do the marketing plan and am very happy I did. After only two weeks I have gotten five leads...enough to pay for the marketing plan and then some, and I still have two and a half months to go. Overall it is the perfect business and starting with Advanced is the right first step." Wade Waltz

"Dear Roger,

Thank you for this opportunity that you have given my family.  Business is looking good.  There are many interests in our hood cleaning service.  I have bid on about 20 jobs, completed 2, and have 3 scheduled in the next few weeks.  I will be hearing from the owner of the Waffle House about his other 4 restaurants either today or tomorrow.  All of this in my first week of operation.  None of this would have been made possible without the training and support that I have received from you and Rusty.  Thanks again and God bless." -- Josh Dodson (Note:  Josh did get the other Waffle Houses)

"Your web site and business opportunity look outstanding to me. I ran my own exhaust and duct cleaning business for over ten years beginning in 1980. I had contracts with over 80 restaurants. I did well just stumbling along by myself. With your system I would think there is a lot of great opportunity out there. I know of more than one restaurants that had a very difficult time finding anyone to replace me. When someone finally did bid, they had no competition for years and years. The only drawback was the hours, since late evenings and nights are required for the workers. Besides the hours, I agree that you have the perfect business. Congratulations on developing a great looking web site and business opportunity!" -- Jim Kruis

"Dear Roger and staff,
      I would like to take a moment of your time to tell you how much my family and I appreciates all the opportunities you have decided to share with me.  First, I would like to thank you for the level of professionalism, pride, and friendship you gave me during my week of training.  I would also like to thank you for your continuous support in helping my company become successful.
      I would also like to thank you and your family for the hospitality as well as Russell Clark and wife for the superb job on the master documents, and for the continuous follow up.
      I live in the Savannah, GA area and have been doing the hood cleaning business for three weeks now.  I have already successfully cleaned five restaurants and I currently have ten more scheduled to be done.
     As a Seventh Day Adventist, I know that the lord has blessed me with the opportunity to own my own business, and to observe my beliefs.  I know that he is by my side all the way. -- Fred Malpica

"We are very happy with the results of our business.  Roger was very helpful in giving us the ins and outs of the hood cleaning business.  Training on the job is priceless.  His techniques are very efficient and the restaurant owners and managers are very pleased with the results.  The marketing techniques that Russell uses really work.  It was great having him work at giving our business a jumpstart.  Over all I would say that this business is the best investment we have ever made.  It just keeps paying for itself over and over." -- Tracy Ashmore
 

"Roger did an excellent job training me.  He taught me everything I needed to start a full time business cleaning commercial kitchen exhaust systems.  He has also continued to give support when a situation or a question arises that I can not answer." -- Robert Palmer

"I attended the Advanced Cleaning Systems school.  When I arrived, I had no knowledge of how to clean and maintain the hood, duct and fan system in a restaurant.  After just 5 days of training I was able to return home to South Carolina ready to begin establishing my own business.  The training was intense and well balanced.  I received on the job training at several different types of establishments as well as extensive classroom training.  Marketing was also well covered.  I recommend this training to anyone who is interested in getting into the hood cleaning business." -- Cecil Baker

"Now that I have had a chance to service my first account today, it is my pleasure to write this letter expressing my satisfaction with you and Hood Cleaning School.  I cannot say enough good things about the quality of information, training and support, which was provided, by you and your dedicated staff.  I found the on site training especially appropriate as it gave me the confidence I needed to precede with this venture.  The information your staff and website gave to me prior to making this decision was a big help.  I found the market research you suggested I do was 'right on the money,' I would recommend that anyone interested in this opportunity do this market analysis first.  Additionally, I appreciated the fact that you customized my training to focus on the areas, which I needed to concentrate my training most.  The time spent traveling with you to the jobs was a valuable resource as well, it felt like a rolling classroom!  I also value the follow-up support you and your staff provide, I know I can count on you for help and information in the future.  Please tell everyone involved, how much I appreciate their assistance and I look forward to a long and prosperous career thanks to you and your staff.

I have had a personal goal set for myself for a many years of becoming a private pilot.  Well this past Jan., I started to realize that dream by taking flying lessons and I love it.  I am flying at least once a week and I'm ready to solo in the next week and can't wait.  It is a lot of work both in the air and in the flight school but it really gives me a sense of accomplishment and I hope to have my license by the end of July.  The business has not only given me the money but also the flexibility of time to realize this goal and for that I am truly very grateful.  So next year I hope to fly myself to the weekend get together!"" -- Richard Hunt

"I recently completed my training with Hood Cleaning School and couldn't be more pleased with the results.  Roger definitely knows his business well and that comes across loud and clear in his training.  He teaches everything one needs to know about this business, and then some.  Everything is covered in his training, including marketing and sales and even basic bookkeeping.  Being able to go out and clean actual restaurants is a big plus.  There's nothing like on the job training to teach you something.  Roger's techniques are very efficient and when I am finished cleaning a restaurant, the manager is very pleased with the results.  Ongoing support is very important to me and it is obvious that everyone at Hood Cleaning School really does care about my success.  I highly recommend Hood Cleaning School to others who might want to start their own profitable business.  I am so glad I took this step.  OJ Gonzalez

"We have contracted with Degrease Hood and Duct Service and Roger Gonzalez to clean 45 of our Wendy's Restaurants.  Overall, we feel that Mr. Gonzalez has performed exceptionally well and has been very efficient in his cleaning procedures.  We were also impressed with his conscientiousness in advising us of potential maintenance problems at each restaurant."  David J. McDaniel, Senior Vice-President of Southern Hospitality Corporation

"I would just like to take the time to say thank you for the extensive and thorough job that Mr. Roger Gonzalez performed on our hood and duct system.  Roger performed the job to an exacting degree, from our initial phone conversation, to meeting with myself the day before our first service to walk through our system, and taking the time to go over the details before, during and after the job was completed--going over what he had done and was going to do.  After cleaning was completed we did an extensive check together to make sure all was done to satisfaction with our agreed upon contract.  We, at the Hard Rock Cafe, are pleased to have found a local company that can do the job for us.  Roger had also taken the time to cover/protect areas he was cleaning around, which our staff neglected to do.  Roger went above and beyond what I have been accustomed to in my twelve years of working in the restaurant industry.  Once, again, I would just like to say thank you for a job well done!"        Christopher Clapp, Hard Rock Cafe
