Every time Google or someone on the backend needs assistance or information, Footbridge Media has been there every step of the way to make it right. Hey there, it’s Chris from Footbridge Media, and today I am joined by Todd from Above and Beyond Softwash. Thanks for joining us today, Todd. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself and your business?
Todd Ceto: My name is Todd Ceto, and I run Above and Beyond Softwash. It’s a cleaning business focused on softwashing. We excel in this area, using state-of-the-art equipment to clean residential and commercial properties. We do a fantastic job, and we really enjoy using Footbridge Media. They’re like my right-hand man, helping me navigate the challenges that come with running an LLC or a startup.
Chris: Thank you, Todd. You mentioned business development, which can be a daunting prospect for many contractors. When you started your business, what was your process for figuring out what to handle yourself and what to delegate?
Todd: I’m a boots-on-the-ground kind of guy. In soft wash and exterior cleaning, you have to be 120% focused on what you’re doing. Knowing that I can reach out to Footbridge Media for help whenever something pops up has been a lifesaver. They always provide answers or explanations quickly, which is invaluable.
Chris: You’ve worked with industry experts and done extensive research. How did you find the right partners for your business?
Todd: It all comes down to research and judging character. I watch people closely before making decisions. Meeting experts at places like Southeast Softwash has been crucial. Their high-tech equipment and expertise have played a significant role in my business’s success.
Chris: Transitioning from a tradesperson to a business owner can be challenging. What was the turning point for you?
Todd: Seeing a variety of situations at a young age helped a lot. My family traveled extensively, exposing me to different trades and business practices. When I saw a lack of vision in my previous roles, I knew I had to take control of my future. With my family’s support, I made the leap to start my own business, ensuring I had backup plans for every scenario.
Chris: How has your business evolved since you started working with Footbridge Media in 2022?
Todd: Business has been booming, especially with the recent weather in New Jersey. In the last four days alone, I’ve handled over 25 leads thanks to my marketing efforts with Footbridge Media. Their support has been instrumental in driving my business forward.
Chris: For other contractors or pressure washers who may be struggling, what advice would you offer?
Todd: My best advice is to go for it with Footbridge Media. Their follow-through is exceptional, providing answers and support consistently. Working with them has been worth every penny, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to grow their business. Additionally, I strongly suggest checking out the Softwash 101 class offered by Southeast Softwash.
