WCR Nation | The Podcast For Window Cleaners

This week on Nation let’s talk about everyone’s favorite subject…Hiring. Ok so maybe it's everyone's least favorite. BUT it's something that anyone who wants to grow needs to do at some point. You see window cleaners out there saying that it's impossible to find anyone good, or they don’t even get anyone to apply. Maybe it's not that they aren’t out there, maybe its that the good ones don’t want t...

Even when that is something that you may feel is too high, you need to focus on...
