Do you dream of sipping piña coladas on the beach while your pool route runs itself? Well, we hate to break it to you, but unless you’re a mermaid with superhuman pool-cleaning abilities, that’s not going to happen. But fear not, dear reader – it is possible to run a pool route as an absentee owner, and we’re here to tell you how.
First things first: what is a pool route? Essentially, it’s a group of clients who rely on your pool-cleaning services on a regular basis. Think of it as a school of fish, except instead of swimming around all day, they’re just sitting there waiting for you to come by and give them a good scrubbing.
Now, can you run a pool route from afar? The short answer is “yes,” but there are a few things to consider. For starters, you’ll want to make sure you have a solid team of reliable technicians who can handle the day-to-day cleaning and maintenance tasks. That way, you can focus on the big-picture stuff – like sipping piña coladas on the beach.
Another thing to keep in mind is your location. If your pool route is spread out over a large geographical area, it may be more difficult to manage remotely. But if your clients are all located in one area, you might be able to get away with managing things from afar.
Of course, you’ll also want to invest in some good software to help you keep track of appointments, billing, and customer communications. That way, you can stay on top of things no matter where you are – whether you’re soaking up the sun on the beach or taking a dip in your own private pool.
So there you have it: the ins and outs of running a pool route as an absentee owner. It may not be as easy as lounging on a pool float all day, but with the right team and tools in place, you can make a splash in the pool service industry – all while living your best life.
