Xtreme Snow Pros Lands Fifth Consecutive Spot on Snow Magazine’s Top 100 List

For the fifth consecutive year, our team has landed on the Snow Magazine’s Top 100 List as a nationally regarded snow and ice removal company. Announced at this year’s ASCA Executive Summit held in Hilton Head, South Carolina, we received the news on our top-performing ranking. This time, coming home with the #28 spot, we have managed to work our way up the list every single year since making our first debut. At just #33 last year, our team is more encouraged and motivated than ever before to keep climbing.

As a company that is intently dedicated to our clients, their properties, and their personal safety, we have a passion for winter weather clearing and removal. Constantly attending educational summits and courses for new accreditations that reflect our unwavering commitment, we leverage innovation and cutting-edge technology to one-up our service offerings year after year.

With 30-years of experience and expertise in our line of work, our in-depth knowledge guarantees our continued ranking. Plus, equipped with ASCA-certification and visionary leadership from Chris Marino, we are able to remediate any snow or ice condition – right here in one of the snowiest regions in the country.

That’s why, after this year’s announcements, we are already to work configuring new ways to rank even higher as a snow removal contractor at next year’s ceremony. We believe that complacency has no place in an industry as dangerous and critical as winter weather clearing. Therefore, we are already preparing for what’s ahead in the 2018-19 season.

Our team would like to thank the ASCA and Snow Magazine for considering our hard work and commitment in their selection process. We look forward to joining with the industry’s very best again next year.

The Secret to Our Collaborative Success: The Xtreme Snow Pros Community

Providing comprehensive winter weather clearing and de-icing services requires more than one person to get it right. It requires a team of people, working in tandem, to ensure the very best services and oversight is being provided to the client. Xtreme Snow Pros has incorporated the use of Service Providers as extension of their team by building a strong partnership with those companies who are just as passionate and dedicated to snow and ice management.

Contractors are just as much part of Xtreme Snow Pros as TeamX, providing the high quality equipment and resources that are critical for maintaining properties and keeping everyone safe during the blistering winter weather. With their ever expanding territorial growth, without the support of their Service Providers the business wouldn’t be able to respond in real-time with the right resources to be effective.

So, why does Xtreme Snow Pros work so well with their contractors?

The answer lies in community.

Xtreme Snow Pros offers:

Scope of work: We are upfront and honest with our contractors, communicating everything we need from our equipment and resources. We are to the point and accurate, ensuring our partnerships are beneficial and streamlined.

Training: We provide training support to every member of the Xtreme Snow Pros community.

Communication: Communication is probably the most important element of working with partners. We ensure 24-7 communication that is accessible and easy to understand.

Support: Our contractors deserve our support – they make our business possible.

Customer Relations: We’d be nothing without our customers, which is why we maintain excellent customer relations.

Prompt Payment: Our company is known for making prompt payments, keeping all of our partners in the community and happy with our services.

Team Bonding: Best of all, we want to be friends with the people we work with. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming community that encourages everyone to reach their true potential.

The Xtreme Snow Pros Community

Owning a company and providing services is about much more than making a profit. In order to be successful, it involves skilled and happy workers, an adept management team, and reliable stakeholders and contractors that are there in a pinch. That’s exactly what comprises the Xtreme Snow Pros community: TeamX, management, and local contractors that work together during the trying winter months.

Snow Boot Camp: Service Providers and Their Extension of the Xtreme Snow Pros Team

As the last part of our Snow Boot Camp, we create a course schedule for our service providers. As an extension of our team, these individuals are just as integral to our success as a company as our TeamX providers. Everyone is part of our community, which is why we invest in training and resource management for every single person that makes Xtreme Snow Pros a success in the wintry months.

Going over the technological apps that we use to communicate and coordinate properties during the winter, we require all of our service providers to sit through classroom training of communication app and our in the field service tracker app. We require all service providers to learn these apps in order to keep uniformity throughout the company.

Classroom Training

We go over these apps in-depth, ensuring everyone knows how to operate the systems effectively. That way, there can be no excuses during crunch time. Within the apps, we look at using them in real-time, choosing the correct service that is being provided, amount of materials being used, noting weather conditions, taking photos, and completing site-specific checklists.

Next, we go over our safety expectations and winter monitoring expectations, ensuring everyone is on the same page for when the going gets tough. We also look at the service provider dashboard, which includes: training documents and videos, downloadable apps, company forms, account specs, company contact numbers and emails, Twitter feed, and a help center.

Some of our rules of thumb include:

Communication is key

Always wear safety vests and jackets when outside of the equipment truck, etc.

Always make eye contact with coworkers; never assume they can see you

Must log into apps the second one arrives at job site

Use the service provider dashboard as a virtual handbook

Maintain respectability when interacting with any client

And the list goes on. We start this boot camp training during the offseason, providing us with enough time to train everyone on their required roles, apps, and understanding before late fall rolls around. Everyone who works under the Xtreme Snow Pros title must undergo their own version of the Snow Boot Camp. It’s how we maintain our excellent standing with clients around our communities.
