## Story

Jim Campbell is an executive with a background in management, sales, operations, and customer relations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He has built out several staffs throughout his career and is experienced in hiring and growing a team around him. With a history of several leadership-level positions as a member of Fortune 500 companies over the years, Campbell asked himself: "Why go to work for someone else again if I can find a business that works for myself?"

He was attracted to the idea of starting and building a successful business of his own, the scalability of The Cleaning Authority model, and the eventual opportunity of semi-absentee or absentee ownership.

I am a Midwest native from Ohio and moved to San Antonio after college to pursue a job, which led to a promotion and a move to the Dallas Fort-Worth area. I have lived in the Dallas area for 30 years, working for Fortune 500 companies. I have had roles as a manager of various types of sales and marketing teams. In the past, I have traveled heavily for work and look forward to owning my own business locally that will allow me to spend more time at home.

After developing a career in the corporate world for 30 years, I have built a skill set that will fit well with the franchise model. I worked with a franchise consultant to identify brands that would fit my strengths and The Cleaning Authority was a good fit for me.

**If you were to speak with someone who’s considering signing on with The Cleaning Authority, what advice would you give them?**

One of the major reasons that I chose to pursue business ownership with The Cleaning Authority was the professionalism within the organization. I was presented with many options and as I vetted out various brands, I found that The Cleaning Authority was professional and organized and best suited me.

**Why is the Dallas-Fort Worth area the perfect market for The Cleaning Authority business?**

Growth in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is extremely hot for new corporations coming in, especially from the California area. Texas is a hotbed for corporations and I have found that as companies and large corporations come in, the housing boom is continuing and growth is expected to exceed national average. That is great for us as a company that services peoples’ homes.
