November’s Franchisee Spotlight Series features Corvus of Northwest Arkansas Franchise Owner Mr. Hector Guzman. Read on to learn more about the standout Franchisee who goes above and beyond to Make Lives Better!

In the Corvus of Northwest Arkansas office, when the conversation turns to “Franchise Greats,” Hector Guzman’s name invariably rises to the top. His journey in the franchising world is nothing short of remarkable, serving as a testament to hard work, perseverance, and entrepreneurial spirit.

Hector’s story began in October of 2015 when he decided to step into the world of business ownership. At the time, his background was primarily in raw poultry production – a field far removed from the janitorial and cleaning industry. Despite his lack of experience in this new domain, Hector brought with him an invaluable set of skills: a robust work ethic and an unwavering determination to succeed. These traits have been the cornerstone of his journey and the reason behind his enduring success.

From the outset, Mr. Guzman demonstrated a remarkable commitment to his work. Impressively, he continues to personally clean the very first account he ever secured eight years ago, showcasing his dedication and loyalty to his clients. This level of commitment is rare and speaks volumes about Hector’s character and his approach to business.

Hector’s success is not a solo endeavor. Alongside him is his wife, Clara, who has been an integral part of the journey. Together, they make a formidable team, not just in cleaning and maintaining high standards of service, but also in promoting their business and the Corvus brand. Their synergy and teamwork have been pivotal in the growth and success of their franchise.

In recognition of his exceptional contributions, Hector was awarded a 75-inch LG big screen TV last year for referring the most new Corvus business owners in 2022. Such achievements highlight Hector’s skills not only in the operational aspects of his business but also in networking and business development.

Mr. Guzman’s trajectory is truly inspiring; his story illustrates that with dedication, hard work, and a willingness to learn, success is attainable in any field, even one as challenging as janitorial franchising. Hector Guzman stands as a shining example and an exceptional business partner, not just in Northwest Arkansas, but in the broader context of entrepreneurial success stories. His journey continues to inspire and motivate aspiring entrepreneurs and established business owners alike. Thank you, Mr. Guzman!

January’s Franchisee Spotlight Series features Corvus of Northwest Arkansas Franchise Owner Mr. Jaime Barboza. Read on to learn more about the standout Franchisee who goes above and beyond to Make Lives Better!

To keep up with the Franchisee Spotlight Series and all things Corvus, follow us on Instagram! @corvus_janitorial_franchising

Mr. Jaime Barboza started his Corvus franchise in 2018, since then it has become a family affair with his wife and two children working with him. Mr. Barboza and his wife, Maria, initially started their business to make extra money to support their family, but in the four years since establishing their franchise, the team has become one of the top grossing Franchises in the Corvus of Northwest Arkansas market.

“Jaime has intentionally grown his business slowly and sustainably while executing on every level. From maintaining strong customer relationships to providing a high level of service, Jaime focuses on doing good business,” said Mr. Aaron Cambou, Regional Director of Corvus of Northwest Arkansas.

Jaime started off with smaller accounts but has increased his capacity and now specializes in servicing large accounts like car dealerships. Issues rarely arise, but if they do, they are addressed quickly and Jaime follows through to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Mr. Cambou describes Mr. Barboza as tenacious, well-coordinated, and a wonderful communicator – all necessary qualities of a strong business owner.

The Corvus team is happy to often see the whole family stop in on Revenue Days, though at times Mr. Barboza can’t make it because he is still maintaining a full-time day job. Mr. Barboza and his family are hardworking and dedicated Franchise Owners who Corvus is proud to partner with. Thank you, Barboza family!

February’s Franchisee Spotlight is awarded to Mrs. Maribel Cruz of Corvus of Northwest Arkansas. Read on to learn more about the standout Franchisee who goes above and beyond to Make Lives Better!

Corvus of Northwest Arkansas sure got lucky when Mrs. Maribel Cruz opened the doors to her franchise in 2015. Her dedication and determination were clear from the start, and she continuously proves herself to be a valuable member of the Corvus community.

While we have been lucky enough to call Mrs. Cruz a partner for over five years, she has been in the janitorial business since 2008, and her experience shows. Mrs. Cruz recognizes that customers are paying to outsource their cleaning and, therefore, expect high-quality work.

Providing the best possible cleaning service is Mrs. Cruz’s top priority. She holds her business to a very high standard and spends countless hours perfecting her craft. When interacting with customer accounts, Mrs. Cruz acts with the utmost professionalism.

“She understands that the janitorial business is a marathon, not a sprint,” says Corvus of Northwest Arkansas Regional Director Mr. Justin Simmering. This mindset, in addition to a strong work ethic, has enabled Mrs. Cruz to turn her Corvus Franchise into a scalable, full-time business.

To date, she has twelve employees whom she manages daily. Mrs. Cruz holds herself, as a leader, to the same high standards she holds her business to. While she believes each employee represents her entire body of work, Mrs. Cruz acknowledges that they are only as good as the training they receive.

When Mrs. Cruz is not running a successful cleaning business, you will likely find her spending time with family, cooking delicious meals, or attending church. Thank you, Mrs. Cruz, for all that you do. Kind, smart, and hardworking Franchisees like yourself are what makes Corvus the company it is today.

Reviews from Corvus Janitorial Customers:

Corvus of Charlotte:

“We started working with Corvus in July 2015 and to date, have had a great experience with them. They had some local management changes a couple of years ago and that went well with no change in service (which can happen!). When we ask for something, the response is quick and efficient. We had a COVID-19 potential exposure in our office and they were able to come out the next day and do a thorough sanitizing of our office suite. All of their folks have been great but Jodean climbs to the top of the list – she is there for us! We thank you, Corvus!”

Corvus of Chicago:

“Corvus has been servicing our Elk Grove facility for over a year and we are pleased with the quality of service and their communication. Regular visits from a local Manager are a welcome addition and provide a platform for us to submit specific feedback regarding the scheduled service, special requests and explore additional services that we may require.”

Corvus of Cincinnati:

“Very detail oriented. I requested specific things. The first time the crew came they missed something. I made a phone call to Christine one time and they went above and beyond my expectations. Fantastic crew!!!”

Corvus of Jacksonville:

“I have worked in child care for years, never satisfied with any of our janitorial companies until now. Charles is amazing at what he does and very responsive. They provide a log book for daily communication and quarterly evaluations, asking us what they can improve on. Spencer, the supervisor, is very easy to speak with and always checking in. Not only do they provide great cleaning services, they are now offering electrostatic disinfecting – which we did today in our classrooms. I am very satisfied with Corvus services and would recommend them to anyone!”

Corvus of Lexington:

“The company I work for has used Corvus for a number of years and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the team on the ground to management, we were taken care of on every aspect. If there was ever a question or an extra request, the team was always accommodating.”

Corvus of Little Rock:

“Top notch service. Shayna and Jennifer are great. You can count on them to always follow up to ensure that you are pleased with the service. Had a couple of “emergency” cleans come up over the last couple of years and they have always gone out of their way to cover my poor planning and made me come out looking like a star when visitors arrived.. Would recommend to anyone. A+++”

Corvus of Louisville:

“So glad to know David Villafana and Corvus! They use green products, well trained employees, and methodical cleaning.”

Plenty of opportunity to grow your franchise. The main thing I like is how easy it is to contact the partners at the office or corporate and how knowledgeable they are when it comes to different types of problems that may occur! Thank You!!!”

Corvus of St. Louis:

“Zion Lutheran School has been with Corvus since 2000. I love the communication we have with Corvus. They are so responsive to our cleaning needs at school. It is nice to have cleaning issues taken care of, and not have to deal with that during a busy school year. Corvus has been a great partner in our school growth.”

Never underestimate the value of the janitor who just may become the boss”
