While I’m sure there is good content in there i would rather watch a video on actual techniques. I made it a few minutes into video before I was done, I’m not patient enough, just didnt keep my attention but was curious for the definition of bucket bob that is commonly referred to.
I’ve had the wrong thought the entire time, a bucket Bob is a rookie? Any new person?
What does one call the guy who has no company name, no insurance, no taxes just out for some cash on store fronts that every market has?
Everyone has talked so negatively about a bucket Bob if it’s a new person WTF, who cares. A new guy usually will learn learn and be established as a business, the guy running around not paying taxes no company established is going to be more of a detriment to any business than a new guy could ever be.
Bucket Bob
Or, for those old-school union boys, a Bucket Bum
I don’t believe novice status=Bucket Bob automatically, although many window cleaners begin to acquire accounts before establishing a legal business.
I think if a person perpetually operates under the table, whether due to laziness or sheer dishonesty, then that qualifies for “Bucket Bob” status.
Additionally, just because a cleaner undercuts prices does not automatically mean he is a Bucket Bob. A legitimate taxpaying businessperson has every right to establish his/her margins in whatever manner they see fit. Generally speaking, undercutting price is not a sustainable practice, and seems to be a recipe for either failure or de facto enslavement to one’s own business. But if a cleaner uses it as a tool to stay competitive in their market and earn a comfortable living for themselves then who are we to judge?
Would one own one of these nearly useless tools .<img src="/uploads/default/original/3X/d/7/d7b3b79068586953f8c154782531c388ae873fa7.jpg" width=“690” height="
Strongly disagree! If you’re not insured you’re basically a criminal. I believe criminal charges are filed when something goes wrong and they find out you do not have any insurance. Extremely irresponsible
This is true … Until you’re found at fault in a unfortunate situation an accident and they need a couple hundred thousand dollars to settle up. Then it becomes a necessity LOL
IMO, this is a Bucket Bob - one who isn’t really in it from a business stand point, maybe someone who only needs some spending money or vacation money at the end of the year. A BB brings down the industry. When a legitimate business offers to clean windows for a legitimate price he here’s “What? I pay $4 for the whole thing now.” Why residentials are more profitable for my time.
I think it’s against the law to operate a business without insurance in my neck of the woods. Obviously you think its OK. Can we at least agree that having no insurance is EXTREMELY irresponsible?
I’m not sure exactly what josh was trying to say. At one point he says that Bobs are new guys. And at another point he says they are the losers that don’t dress correctly or are not interested in bettering themselves. Kind of felt like he had someone specifically in mind he was taking a dig at but in other area was hedging his bets.
Personally I like a video about techniques better myself.
No I can’t agree Mike, though I understand the sentiment. I’m curious how many of us even have health insurance? How many had it before we were required to? When not required by law, having any type of insurance - health, business or full cover auto is simply a gamble that many take.
Yes some of us have to take gambles on our protection but to gamble other people’s protection is illegal. If the sh*T hits the fan they need us to have our general liability insurance in place. That’s why a business has to have it. Not to have it is criminal. Should I say illegal?
