The Y.E.S. Story
I used to own a beef jerky business that required me to be in 15-20 convenience stores on a daily basis. Every day I noticed a disturbing trend, paper towel messes in every restroom. Paper towels laying on the floor, paper clogged toilets, sinks clogged with paper and water running on the floor. I knew this was a terrible problem for the owners and managers of the establishments but I had no answer. Then one night in 2004 my wife had a class reunion in Indiana and that is where I saw the Xleraotor hand dryer for the first time. I knew this was the answer to the problem I was encountering every day on my route.
After researching the hand dryer industry and the Xlerator for nearly 18 months I came to the conclusion that there were 2 major problems with the industry itself, and the Xlerator was going to create a third possible problem. 1) Hand dryers have always been so slow that the end user had developed hatred toward them. 2) Hand dryers have always been a backroom sort of business, somebody sells them to somebody else and then they are on there own if they have problems, and no matter how good a product is sooner or later it's going to have problems. 3) I also knew that to buy these dryers was expensive and professional installation would add even more. So with these three things in mind we developed a program that we believed would benefit everyone involved.
Our idea was to make it simple, make it so that every business owner who was currently using paper towels could switch to 21st century technology without having to rearrange their budget or have any out of pocket expense. Customers could simply give us there paper towel money every month instead of giving it to the paper towel company. We would install the dryers for FREE, provide service to them within 24 hours if they breakdown for FREE, give them FREE annual maintenance, and in most cases give them a FREE 30 day trial to make sure the dryers were right for them. All of this for just $30.00 per month per dryer and in most cases it is far less than they are currently spending on paper towels.
Then came the cherry on the top, these dryers are a top ten GREEN product and are one of the ten best things you can do to protect the environment if you are a business owner. It doesn't get much better than that, this truly is a win, win, win.
