"Prior to Sure Step, I served as a Director of Technology Support for the Eastern half of the US for over 22 years for a company that had over 35,000 employees in the US and over 100,000 worldwide. After 22 years with this company, it was time to look for my own business, and when I received an email on franchises, I opened the email, and my Sure Step journey began in November of 2020.
I looked at other franchises during my due diligence phase of evaluating Sure Step. All the other opportunities had many deterrents, such as initial purchase price, royalty fees, storefront requirements and far too many rules. It became evident very quickly that many decisions around franchises were made by corporate, thus leaving the franchise owner with very little empowerment. Because Sure Step is not a franchise, I had the empowerment to truly run my own business at a very reasonable investment, and so I purchased and became a Sure Step Distributor in January, 2021.
What piqued my interest around Sure Step? I was a slip and fall victim when I was 35 years old. I slipped off a wet top step at a subway station and suffered a glenoid fracture to my right shoulder. In layman’s terms, I broke my right shoulder socket in half. Needless to say, when I saw slip and fall prevention as a description of Sure Step, I was very interested. From there, I considered their client portfolio, product effectiveness, relationship with Dal-Tile, etc. in making my decision to move forward with the purchase of my Distributorship.
Since my training at the end of January, 2021, I have secured some of the best restaurants and hotels in my area as clients. The individual invoices have typically ranged from $1,000 to $25,000 and I saw a return on investment within three to four months of making the purchase. Most recently, I provided a prestigious restaurant client a $15,000 quote and am beginning the job in June, 2022. Sure Step corporate has also passed along several jobs as a result of the Dal-Tile relationship. It is fair to say that my business is very successful. I have joined many different organizations and participate regularly in their meetings as well as sponsor lunches and golf tournaments which allows me 5 minutes to demonstrate how Sure Step is the simple and cost effective solution to slippery wet floors and bathtubs.
In summary, I am extremely happy with the decision to purchase my Sure Step Non-Slip Distributorship and have never looked back. And the Sure Step corporate team has supported me every safe step of the way!"
