Wow,
Remember this stuff written down is trackable.
Don't let them girlys read over your shoulder or anything.

every job I've ever taken Paula on still comments about here to this day.

Don't short change them Lance, I've met alot of women that could work circles around alot men. And flow isn't as big of an issue as it used to be. There are alot of advantages with a female tech. They can get you more business in certain situations, a professional female/ male tech partnership could really crank in some sales for you. I think the question has to ask is can you and your company maintain a completely professional relationship with a female tech?

I had one excellent tech who was female, older and not much brute strength, but when she worked with me the wand never stopped.

I had another that was too tall for the Ti wand!

I'm seeing more women in my classes these days. Most work for restoration companies, but in those companies their tasks include cleaning carpet (mostly with huge portables!) loading and unloading dehumidifiers, and other tasks require a good measure of upper body strength.

These women are capable of the tasks, and they're not all "tough girls" either. Some simply are young and physically fit enough to do the work.

Truck mounts and glides make the job even easier for them when available. I also have some owner/operator women who do all the cleaning, and all have good reputations in their area.

Oh, and more than a few would probably be worthy of Thang's interest as well!

Show me two equally qualified job candidates and I'm choose the female over the male any day.


There's no way any guy can be "equally qualified" to a female when it comes to:
Putting a female customer at ease.
Attention to detail.
Not breaking stuff
Helping your Company's image over all male Companies.
Helping you to get a lot more referral work than a guy ever could.

Been there done that.

Only an idiot would not hire a female Tech.

Man, I cannot stop laughing at the "new tech" photo.

That cannot be a woman that has "worked out alot" unless she has been cleaning since she was 7. :shock:

On a serious note, I have a local customer that has a crew of 2 women (running a Ford Genesis).. They go out every single day and do very well. Think about it, alot of residential customers are women and when there are women cleaning, they kind of stick together. They are able to get more for their jobs because of this. There is a certain trust factor involved.

Just my opinoin for what it is worth.

Man, I am still laughing at that post, It's friday!! :lol:
