Dekor Clean - Samuel Teoyotl

Monday, May 2, 2011


Samuel is a great example of a recent graduate on fire. Samuel ran his business for 10 years doing everything himself before entering the academy. Since graduating from the academy he has come up with some innovative ideas.

Here is Dekor Clean world headquarters. They clean carpets, furniture, curtains. They also reupholster furniture and sell window treatments. Samuel converted the front of his home along the street into two new storefronts he rents out for additional income.
Here is Samuel in his workshop. This area used to be dirt with Chickens and he converted it to gain more workspace.
Samuel now outsources most of the reupholstering because he can still make a nice profit and focus on his core business.
Another great innovation- Samuel wanted to expand to another city so he found another graduate of the academy who lived in that city and got permission to install a phone line in his home. Now he has several phone #'s that residents recognize as local that all ring to his office.

Samuel is bidding on a contract with a large client. After meeting with the client for the first time, he waited an hour after the meeting to speak to the head janitor of the building to get a carpet sample. He then used the sample to test 16 different cleaning product combinations to see which worked best for their carpet.

These are just a few of the ideas that Samuel has implemented since gaining a greater vision of what his business could be. He has grown very quickly to 3 trucks and 8 additional employees to keep up with all the new business.
