As most of you know, in the last 5 years, the world has changed so much. Everything here has changed. As I reached retirement age, I struggled with the future of my company. I love my company , my customers, my employees and my job. Now, Its gotten harder and harder for local small business's with the local respect and reputation for almost 50 yrs to compete . Owner builders don't know us so they turn to the internet. Nationwide builders are doing a lot of the work these days and most of them told me "we use Nationwide toilet companies" . I refused to sell to the companies that I had watched disrespect the industry for years with inflated prices and little to no service or care.
It wasn't until this year, that I was approached by the perfect fit for me, my employees AND my customers.
I did sell, so yes, we have new owners. But we are still local, we are still here, I sold , but I didn't sell ANYONE OUT. I found a company that wanted us to stay, wanted to keep the name. and wanted us to continue to run it just like we have since the 70's . We are now Rentals To Go DBA Knight Jon Boy.
The only thing that has changed is, My stress and responsibility is going from 100 % to well, as close to zero as you can get. We will now have GPS tracking to ensure the units are serviced. A company that has the highest standards I have ever seen, I tried myself, but you are only as good as the people you trust to do it and it fell short sometimes. And now I will be able to take vacations LONGER than Thursday-Sunday for the 1st time!!!!
I had no technology. I am too old to be taught ( or too stubborn) . My program was 30 years old and had no technology. I did everything by hand and had no way of people paying their bills on line.
The timing was perfect. They are a great company to work with and it will be better for even my customers. WIN WIN
I wish I could have reached out to everyone earlier, but I didn't want to tell it until I was sure I would have the nerve to go thru with it. Once I did, I the transition from paper and low tech old programs to new technology, well, its been a challenge for all of us!
I do thank EVERYONE that has supported us over all the years. Now we can keep going for many more!
