Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning recently ranked in two of Entrepreneur magazine’s fastestgrowing franchise lists

The rankings are one of the most respected resources used by entrepreneurs and potential franchisees looking to invest in a franchise. In the 2021 Fastest-Growing Franchises (Worldwide) and 2021 Fastest-Growing Franchises (U.S. and Canada), Oxi Fresh ranked #79 and #65, respectively.

“2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but it was also a year that further demonstrated that our franchise system and organization are on the right track,” says CEO and Founder Jonathan Barnett. “Oxi Fresh was able to meet and exceed the needs of our customers and our franchisees, and we are very proud of that fact.”

In 2020, the carpet cleaning franchise company added 40+ new locations as demand grew for home service businesses and consumers turned to brands they knew and trusted. In 2021, the carpet cleaning franchise company plans to leverage this strong demand by adding 70 new locations and expanding its services and products even deeper into communities across the country.

“We want everyone to have access to high quality, eco-friendly carpet cleaning, and we love helping people realize their dreams of owning their own business,” said Matt Kline, the carpet cleaning franchise company’s Director of Franchise Development. “We’re eager to surpass the 500-unit mark in 2021 and create even more value for our franchisees and customers.”

Over its 42 years in existence, Entrepreneur’s rankings have become both a dominant, competitive measure for franchisors and

a primary research tool for potential franchisees. Oxi Fresh’s continued leadership in the industry is a testament to the carpet cleaning franchise company’s commitment to its core values and overall value proposition.

franchisee in action: Troy Cobb | Cinch I.T. Atlanta

MEET VETERAN AND CINCH I.T. PARTNER

TROY COBB

“Cinch I.T. is fortunate to have Troy Cobb as a franchise partner. We are very proud and appreciative of his military service and look forward to working beside him as he grows his franchise.” – Rick Porter, President of Cinch I.T. What was your working background?

The first half of my career was mostly technical, working on high-tech gear such as high-end projectors for commercial applications. The second half of my career I moved to a sales role selling high-tech gear to our dealer network.

When did you buy your franchise?

January 2021

What was the turning point that made you realize you wanted to change your career path?

Troy, please tell us about your military background.

I served in the USMC from 9/86-9/96 – Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I graduated number 1 in my platoon from boot camp (Honor Man) at Parris Island. I was enlisted and was honorably discharged as

Franchising USA

an E-6 Staff Sergeant. I received several

commendations medals including the Good Conduct Award, Navy Achievement Medal, and National Defense Service medal. My

military occupation was Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment Calibration technician.

The pandemic nearly devastated the company I was working for and I felt as if the writing was on the wall. I, honestly, was happy for the opportunity to make a career change because I didn’t care for what I was doing. My career had grown stagnant, and the company wasn’t prepared to pivot for the “new normal”, so I started looking elsewhere.

Why did you choose Cinch I.T.?

Since I have a background in technical sales, I felt there were a lot of synergies between my background and the services offered by Cinch I.T. Also, the company I was working for at the time utilized an

“Running your own business isn’t for everybody.

You must have confidence in yourself and be honest with yourself that you can handle the responsibilities that come along with running your own business”

MSP for their IT services and I personally experienced the pain points of being an end-user. I felt that Cinch did an excellent job of addressing those pain points when I learned about their focus on customer service.

What was the process like once you signed the franchise agreement?

The Franchisor and I looked at a map of territories and I picked a great territory.

I’m fortunate to be the first franchisee in Georgia, so I had the whole state in which to choose. Once I signed the franchise agreement, I had to get busy interviewing and hiring my first employee, my onsite technician. After that we started our ten weeks of training which culminated with a two-week stint at Cinch I.T. in Worcester, MA in February 2021. After graduation, we came back to Atlanta and started doing business right away. I booked three new client meetings while in training and managed to bring aboard two out of the three right away.

What type of training and ongoing support is still provided to you?

I receive weekly training/coaching from the Cinch I.T. team. They help with everything from marketing, advertising, operations, technical issues, accounting - everything I need to be successful as a small business owner.

Has your work/life balance improved since buying the franchise?

Well, honestly, work doesn’t feel like work anymore. I love making/managing my own

“Since I have a background in technical sales, I felt there were a lot of synergies between my background and the services offered by Cinch I.T.”

schedule and the freedom that comes with managing my own company.

If someone was interested in joining your franchise system, what would you say to them?

Running your own business isn’t for everybody. You must have confidence in yourself and be honest with yourself that you can handle the responsibilities that come along with running your own business. Ask yourself if you are ready to take on the responsibility of paying your employees before you pay yourself, working nights and weekends to get your business up and running. You must ask yourself if you’re ready for the financial risk involved in not seeing revenue for a period of a few months. If you can answer yes to those tough questions, then there is no other franchise system that offers the

training and support that Cinch I.T. offers.

You just can’t get this type of support any place else in my opinion.

Any particular aspect of your franchise system that stands out to you?

If you’re considering a franchise, consider one with a business model like Cinch IT. When I sold projectors, every month I was starting at ground zero again. With Cinch IT, it is all about recurring revenue. As you bring on clients, they are paying for a monthly service, every month you are adding to your recurring revenue stream, not starting zero like you do when you are selling some type of widget. You can’t beat this business model for an opportunity at real wealth creation. https://cinchit.com/

EXPERT ADVICE: Adam Povlitz | CEO & President | Anago Cleaning Systems

THE RISK OF MISINTERPRETING NEW CDC GUIDELINES PRIORITIZING CLEANLINESS AND PEACE OF MIND FOR EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS

Recently, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting against COVID-19.

of the recommendations, cutting the bulk of the report in favor of quick headlines.

It is essential to clarify the importance of proper cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing protocols and what we’ve come to expect as consumers from the businesses we patronize. Although we are gaining ground on the COVID-19 virus, the main takeaway is that best practices learned over the past year should not be disregarded and placed upon the proverbial shelf.

Although informative, many national

customers safer, and provided the peace of mind needed to continue operations.

Companies across the nation must review their pre-COVID protocols, identify what changed and find a happy medium without reverting to the minimal cleaning procedures of the past. Where businesses land on how they re-calculate their cleaning methods will highly depend on the type of business. And patrons will undoubtedly take notice. For example, a restaurant will need a much higher degree of cleaning than a retail clothing store.

“As recommendations are relaxed and people choose not to receive vaccinations, returning to social activities without safeguards leaves communities at a higher risk. This makes public areas, including restaurants and businesses, more susceptible to increased infection rates.”

The CDC states, “Cleaning with products containing soap or detergent reduces germs on surfaces by removing contaminants and may also weaken or damage some of the virus particles, which decreases the risk of infection from surfaces.”

The CDC is correct, but businesses may want to continue industry-leading best practices by cleaning more frequently and choosing to disinfect communal areas, especially if high transmissions of COVID-19 continue within the communities they serve. It is crucial to keep in mind that relaxing cleaning guidelines will likely come with relaxed personal hygiene practices from many people. Washing hands, wearing masks, and relaxed social distancing guidelines may have helped reduce infection rates. As these recommendations are relaxed and people choose not to receive vaccinations, returning to social activities without safeguards leaves communities at a higher risk. This makes public areas, including restaurants and businesses, more susceptible to increased infection rates.

Additionally, it is essential to emphasize the extreme importance that cleaning and disinfecting surfaces can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other pathogens.

Businesses need to remember that cleaning regimens are most effective when a multi-step approach is practiced with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved products. The most effective practice involves first cleaning surfaces to remove or reduce soil loads, then disinfecting to kill bacteria, fungi, and inactivated viruses.

The other area of clarity involves the use of fogging, fumigating, and widearea electrostatic spraying. The CDC states that this is not recommended as a primary method of surface disinfection.

As this is correct, industry-leading best practices suggest that the level of disinfecting need to be determined

based on the type of business. When used as part of a comprehensive cleaning regimen, electrostatic sprayers can be highly effective for high-traffic consumer facilities, especially since there is no way of knowing which patrons are vaccinated and which ones are not. When using chemicals and disinfection equipment of any kind, it is essential to read the label and use products correctly to prevent unnecessary overuse and exposure. It is also important to let professionals facilitate the cleaning.

As we gain ground on this pandemic, there are still many uncertainties despite the increased number of vaccinated people.

Businesses of all types must continue to practice vigilance in the fight against the spread of COVID-19 and its variants as they emerge worldwide, not to mention influenza, norovirus, and Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which can also negatively impact public health. There are several layers to this issue, and many businesses desire to erase all memories of the previous year to return to pre-COVID activities. We get it. However, it is essential to maintain vigilance. In addition to indoor air quality needs, businesses should continue to utilize cleaning professionals to enhance their efforts in cleaning and disinfecting public facilities with added focus on high touchpoints.

We agree with the CDC’s guidance and recognize the agency’s continued efforts in the fight against COVID. However, we encourage all businesses to read through CDC recommendations thoroughly, not relying solely on short-and-sweet partial reports found in the media, when making decisions on the best and most effective cleaning and disinfection regimen for their facilities. Our professional experience shows that continued disinfecting when implemented with a comprehensive cleaning regimen and other social

Adam Povlitz

“We encourage all businesses to read through CDC recommendations thoroughly, not relying solely on short-andsweet partial reports found in the media.” guidelines, can play a role in significantly reducing the risk of infection spread.

Businesses that maintain proper cleaning protocols provide employees and customers greater peace of mind and demonstrate a public responsibility toward prioritizing health and safety.
