In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Karim Kerachni, Co-founder of Steamates and head of franchise development for Massachusetts at PropertyGuys.com.
Karim shares insights into his entrepreneurial journey and unique approach to productivity while traveling the world. Born in Canada and raised in France, Karim's upbringing in a family of entrepreneurs and his diverse cultural background laid the foundation for his ventures. With a background in engineering and business, Karim embarked on a journey that led him from door-to-door sales to founding his first business, Steamates, a cleaning company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Karim's entrepreneurial spirit shines as he discusses the challenges and triumphs of starting a business from scratch. From securing his first customer, realtor Neil Andrino, to expanding his client base through bold networking efforts, Karim's dedication and perseverance fueled Steamates' rapid growth. Reflecting on the journey, Karim emphasizes the importance of offering value, even if it means providing services for free initially, to establish credibility and build lasting relationships with clients.
