Pool Management company. The hotel I work at decided that it wasnt worth it to have a full time pool manager, so they axed my managerial status and are making me work as a lifeguard AND do all of the other stuff I was doing before. Since the management experience is the only reason I was there, I think its time to move on to bigger and better things.
I can do this. This summer I basically ran my own mini pool management company. Interviewed, hired, fired, trained, set policy, managed day to day operations of 6 pools/spas, had a staff of ~15, and a certified pool operator/lifeguard/cpr/first aid trainer. I just did it inside an already established organization.
Theres only two pool mgmt. companies in the area, and they all give terrible service. Bascially my company will provide lifeguards and pool operators to pool in the area. Handle all the day to day operations of the pool. Cleaning/chemicals/health department compliance… all that shit. My roomate works for one of the big established companies.
I’ll give one example.
Theres a pool that needs 2 guards and one pool attendant in town. They go through American Pools Inc. The contract is for $110,000. The only real expenses are labor (~$40K, being generous), and chlorine (about $5,000).
So theres about a $60K profit they make. Of course, they have attornies, manager, supervisors, company cars, offices and shit they have to pay for. I wont have any of that.
I plan to take on about 10 pools as clients. If i make half the profit as the pool in the example, I’ll bank about $300,000 my first year. I’m extremely serious about all of this, so over the next couple months I may be asking for some help from you guys. Graphic design for our logo, website design, business cards, vinyl for the company van… stuff like that.
Wish me luck bitches!
