Benefits Summary (click Benefits tab for details) Benefits of General Membership:
Testimonials In 1985, our company began using PAYCHEX for our payroll needs. At that time, our company was quite small and our needs quite simple. In the year 2000, we found ourselves with a much more complex office environment. Our company had grown a great deal, we had many more employees, our needs had become much more complex. PAYCHEX was able to address our needs because their company had also grown. Over the years, they had expanded the services which were available to us. After meeting with one of their representatives and hearing about all of the additional services that were available, we knew that we could derive great savings in time and money from expanding the role of PAYCHEX in our company. PAYCHEX has also taken over many of our Human Resource functions. They worked with us in updating our company's policy manual, they have taken over our COBRA administration, 401k, and many other functions to help us with various compliance issues. Their consultants are available to conduct training seminars on a variety of topics of our choice for our employees and/or supervisors.PAYCHEX has provided us with Management Reference Manuals, compliance poster kits, and new hire reporting.There are many other services available from PAYCHEX. PAYCHEX has been a valuable tool for US over the years, and even more so now that they have become a member benefit for NAPSA members, providing a 15% discount for payroll processing services. Thank you NAPSA! Mike Lucht, Progressive Sweeping Contractors, Inc. Most of my customers belong to at least one professional association. It might be the local Building Industry Association or Property Management Association. They spend sometimes thousands of dollars to belong and participate in their respective trade group. They understand the benefits and that only the top firms in their industry spend the money and time to belong. They are sometimes surprised there even is a Sweepers Association. I don't think they have any idea "gutter cleaners" would even have their own professional association. It is definitely viewed as a positive affiliation, that creates credibility and trust. Mark Carter – Bill’s Sweeping Service, Inc. If the discounts alone from the manufactures don’t convince a company to join NAPSA, then the networking with other sweeping contractors around the country will benefit ones operation in more cost saving ideas and similar concerns about running a profitable sweeping company. Karl Stauty - Commercial Power Sweeping and Services The thing I get most out of NAPSA is the fellowship we have with the contractors. This reminds us of all the same problems and joys. NAPSA allows us to converse with each other. The fact NPE and NPE West allows us to attend seminars for free is a nice jester on there part. Gale Holsman - American Sweeping, Inc. I would like to say that we have benefited much from our NAPSA membership. To date we have enjoyed the discounts offered from suppliers like Schwarze Industries. In all our dealings with them things just seem to go smoother as a result of membership with NAPSA. My wife and I have been to one of the seminars last held in Vegas, the seminars were informative and interesting, let alone the great time we had during our stay. I talked with several other owners who were anxious to help by sharing information and ideas. The seminar instructors were informed and experienced men and women who really knew their field. I really enjoy the certificate I received as a result of my attending the courses. It seems to me that NAPSA wants us to be successful and that means everything to Kathy and I. We haven’t been able to use all the many benefits NAPSA has to offer, but it sure is nice to know that all I have to do is pick up the phone and call or E mail and Shanda or some other friendly staff person is there to help out. Thanks for being there and you all have a happy holiday season. To the new prospective member – if you just buy parts you will save money, so what you waiting for????? JOIN!!!!

The benefits of Power Vac Services being a NAPSA member is best summed up as: discounts on parts, networking with other sweeping contractors, and receiving first-hand information on sweeping industry news. We receive discounts from several vendors due to their NAPSA programs. Being able to network with other sweeping professionals helps to direct or redirect our efforts and focus us towards better profits and efficiency. NAPSA is always faxing or emailing news about tradeshows, articles or interesting information to its members. It is great to know that we belong to a club... the sweeping professionals' club...NAPSA Claudia Passero - Power Vac Services I have taken advantage of the networking benefit. As someone new to the sweeping industry, I email or call some of the other NAPSA members to get information relative to dealing with certain issues common to all sweepers. Some of the issues include: scope of contracts, desirable employee traits, construction cleanup, truck maintenance and much more. I gain access to decades of experience in sweeping by phone calls or emails, something the local guys wouldn't dare share with me. I gain an edge over my competition by doing this. I plan to take advantage of free seminars at the show this February in Charlotte. Thom Dixon - Carolina Sweepers, LLC For years we had wanted to accept credit cards. Each time we looked into it, the monthly charges and rates were just to high to justify it. We only had a few customers who where requesting it, but several out of town contractors had also offered to pay by credit card. When NAPSA announced their credit card acceptance program through Paymentech we looked into it right away. We discovered the sign up process was simple and the monthly charges and rates were very reasonable. Since we have introduced this to our customers a few of them have given us their credit card numbers and requested that we bill their credit cards before we even send them the invoice. This cuts down on their paperwork and we get paid for the job immediately – a win win situation! We no longer have to extend credit to out of town contractors who have no pay history with us. It just seems like they had taken advantage in the past by going 90, sometimes even 120 days, before paying. We no longer have to deal with the hassle of them overnighting us checks either. By going to Paymentech we have eliminated this problem. I would encourage all NAPSA members to look into this great member benefit. Bob Hammond - Superior Sweeping Service, Inc.
