Local newspaper advertisements and referrals. Prospective sales people call our office in Harvey, IL where our full-time recruiters make sure the candidates are bona fide; i.e., have proper ID, pass a xxxxx check, have references, communication skills, want to work and are free to travel. .

No. To have their own site, they must have an outstanding record of achievement with Austin. That means they:

1. rank amongst our top sales people,
2. conduct their business professionally,
3. are role models for the entire organization and
4. demonstrate leadership skills which means they actively work with our new sales recruits to not only teach them business skills but also show them how to work with others, set goals and handle life’s ups and downs.

The retail business model is very different from ours. In retail, the largest expense is advertising. In our business, the largest expense is our sales organization. If we went into retail, we would be unable to realize our corporate mission to bring hope and opportunity to young people living in the impoverished, underprivileged neighborhoods of America.

To thoroughly remove grease and oil (whose chemical properties cause them to reject water), the cleaning liquid and oil must mix together so that when wiped, the oil and cleaner are removed as one.

If the oil and cleaning liquid do not combine (emulsify – the mixture of two unblendable liquids), then the oil will remain on the surface and the cleaning materials.

ADVANAGE’s patented surfactant chemically interacts with oil and water and breaks down the surface tension (barrier) between the two liquids.  This causes the two to mix together, thus making it easy to clean without leaving any residual stains on the surface or the cleaning utensils.
