Junk King’s New Year’s Resolutions 2011

Published on December 31, 2010 in Green Junk Removal, Junk Removal Franchise, junk franchise, junk hauling business, junk king and junk removal. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

We have had a great 2010 here at Junk King.  Not only have we expanded with many more franchises across the country, but we’ve also been able to continue to provide our customers with the high level of service that they’ve become accustomed to.   For Junk King, providing a top-notch junk hauling service that leaves our customers feeling satisfied has always been our number one priority.

Although we’re incredibly satisfied with 2010, that doesn’t mean we can’t have resolutions for the New Year.  Just like everybody else, we are always looking for new ways to improve. We want 2011 to be even better in terms of franchise expansion as well as providing our customers with the best hauling service out there.

So, without further adieu, here are Junk King’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2011.

- Stay the Green Path: Junk King has always been an eco-friendly company and we plan to continue our green ways into 2011. Our roots in the Bay Area are reflected throughout our franchises across the country who always make it a priority to recycle as much hauled material as possible.  With this mindset, not only can we help out businesses and homeowners by taking junk off their hands, but we can also make a difference by helping out the environment.

- Customer Satisfaction Stays on Top: No matter what we change, customer satisfaction will always be our number one priority. Going into the New Year, we want to make sure that although we are expanding, customer satisfaction continues to be the driving goal across all franchises.  We want to make sure that after a job is complete and we’ve finished loading up a truck, a customer can wave goodbye with a smile on their face and the knowledge that we’ve done a great job for them.

- More Junk King Franchises: So far we’re extremely satisfied that Junk King Franchises have been succeeding across the country, but this is just the start.  In 2011 we’ll see even more franchises in cities that could really use some great junk removal services.  Junk King Chattanooga and Syracuse are two of the first franchises that are set to launch in 2011 – expect many more to come.

No matter what happens in 2011, we’d like to thank all of our customers for their loyalty throughout the last year.  We look forward to working with new and old customers in the future.  Happy New Year!

Junk King Franchises Continue Expansion

Junk King continues to differentiate itself from its competitors by providing the most efficient, eco-friendly and affordable junk removal service across the country.  The hauling company is rapidly expanding into new territories, including notable recent openings in Massachusetts, Mesa, Phoenix and Colorado Springs as well as expected launches in Chattanooga, Kansas City, Minnesota and Ohio.

Junk King recently signed Peter Gilfillan, a former Ford Motor’s general manager, as a Master Franchisee to expand franchises into the Colorado, Minnesota and Ohio.  Dennis Mulgannon, Junk King’s Director of Franchises commented on the company’s rapid growth: “The growth of our business is skyrocketing due to the millions of people constantly looking for dependable services to clean clutter and unwanted items from their homes or businesses.  We’ve turned to Peter to build on our momentum and grab a large piece of the vast market share in the multi-billion dollar junk removal industry.”

There are several reasons thus far for Junk King’s rapid expansion, even during the recent economic downturn.  One is the company’s commitment to professionalism.  Every Junk King employee, whether they are working in San Francisco or New York, is hired based on high standards of professionalism, skill, and integrity.  These employees are bonded and insured to make sure that a customer and their property are safe.

Another reason for Junk King’s success has been their commitment to the environment.  In a country where the ‘next big thing’ is clean energy and green technology, it makes perfect sense that Junk King has devoted considerable resources to recycling a large quantity of hauled materials.  Not only does this help local communities by creating a greener environment, it also contributes to Junk King’s overall brand recognition as an eco-friendly business.

Junk Removal Franchise Business

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work for yourself? Entrepreneurship is a true American calling – one that this country’s foundations are built on.  Great U.S. entrepreneurs have created massive companies that will go down in the history books, including IBM, Microsoft, GE and Walmart. So what’s preventing you from making that decision and setting off to create a new company?

For one thing, it can be fairly terrifying to depart from your normal routine.  You’ve spent day in and day out getting a steady paycheck to support yourself and your family, and even thinking about jumping boat might make your stomach sink.  However, you also know that there is something beyond what you are doing, a calling to set out and be your own boss.

You also know that starting your own business can be extremely difficult.  How will you raise the capital to get off the ground?  How do you know that your idea has a high percentage chance of success?  What kind of assurance do you have?  Essentially, if you start a ‘from-scratch’ business, there is no assurance that you will be succesful.  In fact, most start-ups are destined to fail.  That’s why franchising has become a cornerstone of the American business model.

A franchise owner possesses all of the freedoms and opportunities of a startup entrepreneur, but also gains a wealth of assurances from his franchise hub.  A franchisee knows that they are working with a proven business model and a marketable brand.  A franchise owner also has a variety of tools at their disposal that boost their chance of success considerably.

Junk Removal is currently a booming franchise business in both the U.S. and within international markets, and Junk King has proven to be the premiere brand within the industry.  Junk King stands behind each and every one of their franchisees – every individual is a part of the ‘Round Table,’ and receives the full support to make their franchise location thrive.  If you’re interested in starting your own business and latching onto a proven business model, be sure to read more about the Junk King Franchise strategy.

A Typical Day for a Junk King Franchisee

Published on March 5, 2010 in Junk Removal Franchise and junk king. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Starting a junk removal franchise with Junk King is an exciting and lucrative opportunity for budding entrepreneurs around the globe.  Junk Removal is an expanding business sector as consumers look for reliable services to remove unwanted clutter from their home or business.

Junk King also recycles up to 60% of the junk they haul, which ties in nicely with the expanding green business sector.  For those who are thinking about getting into the Junk Removal business, I’d like to provide an example of a typical day in the life of a Junk King Franchisee:

  1. Say hello to Dan.  Dan recently bought a Junk King Franchise and has been doing great business around his city. This is the story of a typical day in the Junk Removal business for Dan.
  2. Dan starts off his workday by collaborating with his drivers:  providing them with schedules, routes, and quotas for the day.  The drivers then hop in their trucks and head out towards their booked junk removal appointments.
  3. Dan’s morning work doesn’t stop there.  He heads back to his office where he’s scheduled a presentation for a local business that may be interested in Junk King’s services.
  4. Meanwhile, a nearby homeowner calls with a request for Junk King’s junk hauling services.  This call is received at the Junk King Customer Call Center where a booking specialist inputs the details of the appointment into Junk King’s network – JunkKingNetware.  JunkKingNetware automatically sends the appointment request to Dan and his drivers.
  5. Dan can instantly access JunkKingNetware from a computer and see all the booked appointments as well as the location of all of his trucks.  Dan’s drivers can also access the appointments en-route from their mobile phones.
  6. One of Dan’s drivers picks up the new appointment information and heads over to the appropriate address.  The homeowner is glad to see the Junk King team give her an up  front estimate on how much the process will cost (based on how much room in the truck her stuff takes up).  She decides to move forward with the job and the team efficiently hauls away all of her unwanted clutter.
  7. Within 1-2 days, a representative from Junk King’s Customer Call Center rings the homeowner to find out if her junk removal needs were satisfied.
  8. Dan ends his day at the office, fulfilled after a job well done and making sure all loose ends are tied up.  He calls Junk King’s central office support with any questions that came up during the day so that he can do an even better job tomorrow.

Junk Removal Franchise Opportunity

Published on February 19, 2010 in Junk Removal Franchise and News. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

There are two things you can count on in this life and it’s not just death and taxes; it’s the fact that we all have junk and at some point we all have to get rid of that junk. Junk can come in many forms: from left over refuse to a broken down backyard fence to paperwork from years gone by. Most folks let their junk pile up until it becomes unbearable. If you live by yourself that might not be a problem but chances are you live with someone and at some point you’re going to be asked to “get rid of all this junk!” That’s actually great news for anybody who has a junk removal franchise. With one phone call that junk can become a fleeting memory and peace will once again return to the customer’s kingdom.

If you’ve never thought about a franchise business consider this: almost every fast food restaurant you’ve ever been to is a franchise business. What this means is a motivated entrepreneur has invested in a proven formula for success. All the hard work has already been completed because the franchise has been established. Whether it is a restaurant or service industry business, the franchise has the support of the parent company with a proven track record of success and profits. It’s the difference between stepping into an unfurnished house versus a furnished house. With former you’ve got more work, with the latter you’re ready to start living. And with a franchise business, you’re ready to start making money right away.

It’s a different experience opening up a restaurant or a junk removal franchise but some of the same basic principles still apply. They cover basic necessities: We all have to eat and we all have junk to get rid of. One of the other benefits of becoming part of a junk removal franchise is that you’ll get all the tools you need to make your business a success. Not only will you get help with the paperwork of maintaining a business but also help with marketing to make sure you can maximize your profit potential.

Having a franchise business means you’re not going to be alone. You’ll be utilizing an established formula for profit. It only makes sense that a parent franchise company wants you to be a success because it makes them a success. As franchises go, you want to find a service or commodity that you know will have longevity. A junk removal franchise definitely fits into that category.

It would be like setting up a snow removal business in Alaska. You’ll always be in business. The same goes for junk removal. You’ll always be in business. And just because you’ve cleared out one person’s garage or attic or backyard doesn’t mean you’re done. Think about the neighbor who sees this junk removal going on. That’s a new potential customer. House by house, block by block you’re going to find that word spreads quickly at how easy it is to get rid of junk with your services. So the next time you see someone hauling away their junk, just think: that could be your business.

Start a Franchise in 2010

Published on January 27, 2010 in Junk Removal Franchise, junk hauling, junk king and junk removal. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

You’ve probably seen a ton of recent news reports that are saying now is the time to start your own business.  During a down economy an entrepreneurial spirit can prove extremely valuable, especially when available jobs are at a minimum.  Perhaps now is the time to finally take that leap of faith and start your own company.

But then again, what type of business will you start?  What industries are growing during these slow times?  Exactly how much capital will it take to get your business off the ground?  How can you market your business and start generating customers?  How will you find an office? How do you know that people will purchase your product or service?  Can you really take this kind of risk?

These are just a few of the questions that need to be answered before embarking on a brand new business venture.  Even though starting a business seems like a golden opportunity right now, it also is extremely risky.  This is why starting a franchise is a great middle ground for those entrepreneurs who want to start a business, but don’t want to take the full risk of a new venture.

Here are just a few reasons why you should consider starting a franchise in 2010:

  1. A Winning Record: A franchise company has most likely built a streamlined model of business that has a winning record.  Not only have other franchisees succeeded in using this same business model, but the franchise company has a step by step blueprint for success that you can utilize.
  2. Brand Name: Unlike starting a company from scratch, a franchise comes with a brand name that already holds value for customers around the country.
  3. Centralized Support: You can minimize your operational costs by utilizing the centralized support that your franchise company provides.  This could range from a customer support call center to marketing assistance on a local and national level.

Junk-King is one franchise company that currently offers a great opportunity for those who are considering owning their own business in 2010.  Junk removal is a rapidly expanding business sector – in this current economic climate people are looking to make the most of their current homes by getting rid of unwanted clutter.  Junk King also taps into a growing eco-friendly trend by recycling between 40-60% of the collected materials.

Junk-King is a dynamic and ambitious company that provides a great brand name, round the clock support and a winning record for those who truly want to succeed with a new franchise. For more information on starting your own junk removal franchise, please visit Junk King’s franchise page.
