Training Overview
Now, we know it’s a tough decision to decide to start your own business. We really appreciate you taking the time to learn what we have to offer. Congratulations! You have taken one of the first steps necessary to become part of our hard top resurfacing team.
We’ve always believed that honesty, hard work, and punctuality are necessary traits when working in the bathtub resurfacing industry. It’s very important to us that we help people, who trust us with their careers and financial future, achieve their goals. Opening any new business isn’t easy but it’s an attainable goal. If you truly posses the qualities we’ve described, then you have a great chance of becoming a success in our industry and become an expert at bathtub, tile and countertop refinishing.
We want to surround ourselves with individuals who have our same business ethics and morals which have helped Hard Tops gain its respected reputation in the bathtub, countertop and tile resurfacing industry. This has been an all-around winning formula for our team.
All of our distributors have a vote in our organization. We’ve learned that everyone in Hard Tops is educated by the good and bad experiences we have as a team – whether that’s here in North Platte or one of our distributors’ experiences. We encourage teamwork and communication between our distributors and hope you’ll help teach each other what you’ve learned while doing bathtub resurfacing and kitchen countertop refinishing under the Hard Tops brand.
There are numerous companies that offer training for potential bathtub refinishers on the Internet. You have several major decisions to make during your search for a trainer and supplier to get started in the countertop resurfacing industry. Most all of these companies will tell you they’re the biggest, best, and fastest growing refinishing company in the industry – or whatever other “power words” they think they can use to get you to invest. All we are going to tell you is:
“We’ll do everything possible to help you become a successful craftsman in our industry.”
We’re here to provide you with the knowledge and training to help your company grow in the bathtub refinishing industry as well as offer continuing education. Trickle-up economics is our business philosophy, meaning our company will grow and become stronger by helping our distributors grow and become successful in their hometowns. We stock a complete chemical inventory, but we encourage our guys to purchase as many products as possible from local suppliers. This can save you money and support your community.
Before you contact us to request one of our information packages please do the following things.
1. Check our database of affiliates to verify we do not already have a distributor in your area. We will not open a location to compete with our existing distributors. We allow one distributor per 500,000 people.
2. Look in your local yellow pages under the “Bathtub Repair and Refinishing” section and find out who your competition will be.
3. Call and ask them about their services and prices. Find out what their guarantees are. How much do they charge? How long will it take them? How long have they been in business? How do you care for the refinished surface? What type of product are they using? How long before the refinished surface may be used?
These questions will help both of us decide how to overcome the competition. Many of our distributors have used this information and become the leaders in their markets. After using our products and application processes our distributors are proud that most of their customers won’t even consider using the competition for their bathtub, countertop or tile resurfacing needs.
We have a plan for just about every level of training desired.
