8 Ways to Stand Out in Your Introduction

 

In this special episode, Faithann invites her husband and business partner, Dave, to the mic for a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to grow a business through networking—together.

Dave shares his candid thoughts about the early days of Window Cleaning Plus, how he felt about Faithann joining BNI back in 2018, and the pressure of showing up to those first jobs that came from networking referrals. From tackling large residential jobs to learning how to stay professional even when a hose gets stuck, Dave offers real-world advice for anyone in the trades trying to grow their business with integrity and excellence.

You’ll hear how networking relationships formed by Faithann translate into customer loyalty, trust, and glowing testimonials—and how Dave and their team uphold that trust every time they step foot into a client’s home.
