What he discovered wont force him to give up his jeans or the comfort of his favorite pair of broken in Justins, but it will allow him to avoid the typical bumps and bruises of his previous occupation. Now, Gerry Stamps will be selling and tying up the latest window fashion products for Gotcha Covered, one of the nations premier home-based franchise companies.
The new business allows him to work out of the comforts of home with his wife, Cindy. Gotcha Covered trains and equips each franchisee to handle any window fashion need and stocks their mobile van with the very latest samples featuring many of the largest name brands in the country for window coverings. I cant believe there are so many samples, I think we have of 106 that show off every current fashion you see in the very latest magazines, states Gerry. Its pretty darn impressive. Garys wife is pretty excited about the new career director as well. I love fashion accessories and designing great looks around windows. To earn a living designing custom window treatments in the comfort of our customers homes or offices are just that much better, stated Cindy Stamps. Gotcha Covered has been recognized as one of the Top Twenty New Franchises by Entrepreneur Magazine and is also rated number two in their category in the most recent Franchise 500 publication for 2004. The couple purchased an exclusive territory for Amarillo, Texas and moved from their home in New Mexico. We thought it would be a good idea to open in a city with strong growth, stated Cindy, but we didnt want to give up the quality of people we were comfortable with in New Mexico. When we were told that Amarillo was available, we jumped at the opportunity. Upon graduation from an initial two-week training program in Dallas, Mr. Stamps returned home to the telephone ringing and a sizeable sale a few days later. That was exciting and I dont mind if its always like this, stated Gerry. Today, his wife is attending the training program learning the ins and outs of the window fashion industry and preparing to join her husband full-time in two weeks.
