The Power of One Call: Introducing Hy-Tech Property Services, the New Sweeping Provider for the Washington Redskins

Category:

When Marc Chimento first heard that one of the facility managers for the Washington Redskins found Hy-Tech Property Services on the 1-800-SWEEPER website and that a team official was on the phone looking for parking lot sweeping, he thought it as a prank.  Many of our partners sweep parking lots for nationally known big box retailers and a few of us have done high profile sweeps for movie sets and photo shoots, but it isn’t every day that one of us gets a phone call from a business or organization worth $1.6 billion.  While the news of this potentially lucrative lead coming from our website makes for an interesting read, the story of how Marc used the advantages of timing and location, combined with some good old fashioned follow through is an instructive lesson on how we all can grow our businesses. …

Honoring Our Vets: A Tribute to John Rutherford – Contract Sweepers and Equipment

Category:

After high school, John Rutherford wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps by enlisting in the Marine Corps.  Problem was, every time he went down to the local recruiting office, the Marine Corps recruiter was gone.  After several attempts, he struck up a conversation with the Navy recruiter, who mentioned being on a ship would be a safer play than in the field during the height of the Vietnam War.  The Navy could offer technical training that would be useful in civilian life too.  The navy recruiter’s message resonated with John, and when he scored well on the aptitude test, he was offered a position in the nuclear power training program in return for a six year commitment.  John completed two years of technical training and served much of the remainder of his time on the USS Long Beach, a Chicago Class Light Cruiser.  “Serving in the Navy was one of the best decisions I ever made“, according to Rutherford.  “I learned discipline, technical skills, and I met my wonderful wife while stationed in Maryland.”  …
