We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Clay Smith. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Clay below.

Hi Clay , thanks for joining us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?

I was actually at my full time job juggling the idea of being a business owner texting back and forth with my wife . She then began to conversate with her coworkers about it and they came up with “C3” which stands for My kids and I .

Clay , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Most of the guys in our industry see the success but do not know the true back story . I did almost 7 years in the car business . 3 years of those was actually managing dealerships and knowing how to operate multi million dollar businesses which helped me with the smaller scale of owning my own . I work extremely hard to create a brand that sticks out . I want the world to know that C3 is the company for the job when someone hears someone in need of pressure washing or exterior cleaning in general . At C3 Wash Pros we truly believe your satisfaction faction is our priority & that’s what makes us stand out as a company .

Can you open up about how you funded your business?

Starting C3 looked like a breeze from the outside looking in but was really a struggle . We hardly had any capital when starting C3 & started in one of the slowest times of the year which actually seem to pay off in the long run . I feel that starting in the slow season gave us plenty of time to market our company and create brand awareness for the spring .

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Helping others in my industry , I have a lot of guys on the daily bases reach out and I do what I can to help if I see their potential. Nothing in my eyes is better than free business advice . Luckily I’ve branded my self as a entrepreneur and people see what I have going on and want to be apart of it too . When it comes to the customer we make sure they’re completely satisfied before moving on to the next job.
