I am currently in Ohio receiving extensive training on Christmas light hanging! I started my new job with Hallco Painting last week and have been working on Ted Hall’s second business: Christmas Decor by Hallco LLC. Hanging Christmas lights has been something I wanted to do for Dad’s business in San Diego but did not know there was a really professional Christmas light services company around. I had seen the cheap little signs around town the past few years that advertised light hanging, but had no clue if the companies were professional or did good work. When I interviewd with Hallco, Ted told me all about Christmas Decor and the services he offered for his clients! It sounded perfect! I am actually more excited to sell Christmas Decorations and Installation to Maryland residence than I am in selling paint jobs at the moment. It is a rather cool opportunity. I am receiving thorough training in how to properly design a home for Christmas! What can be more fun than that? I already love colors and interior design. Now I get to add another skill to my job!

Christmas Decor is the franchise company that Hallco owns in select areas of Maryland (Frederick, Howard and parts of Montgomery Counties). At first, I thought maybe a company to hang lights on their own without being involved with a franchise! I can now see why being a part of a larger company is well worth it! Christmas Decor Corporate has all the lights and decorations we need when we need them! Al the products are top quality and unique (you can’t get them all at Home Depot or Walmart). Plus, Christmas Decor provides employee training to make sure that the lights and decorations are hung perfectly. I especially like the way they do their tree and ground lighting. A homeowner or even a handyman just cannot get a tree to look perfect!

Anyways, my first week on the job, I was able to coordinate getting a one page website up and running for Hallco. I wanted to make sure that his company received the proper placement in search engines and looked the best as most companies do not market this service very well. The new web address is: View Here

The only downside to being in Ohio this week is not being at home with my wonderful family! I cannot believe how much I miss them all. It was so hard for me to say goodbye yesterday as I drove away towards northern Ohio.  My wonderful wife is being such a trooper by allowing me to spend all this time training and away at work.
