Reina Morales Garcia as a young girl working with her mother selling merchandize in a small town in Oaxaca, Mexico, always had a dream that one day\u00a0she one day would own and manage her own business.\u00a0\u00a0Even with all the trials and tribulations of immigrating from her home state to the United States, she never lost vision of what she wanted in her life.<\/p>\n
She fell in love with Agustin Gomez who would find a job as a plumber\u2019s assistant while she worked odd jobs to pay their financial obligations.\u00a0\u00a0In short time, Augustin mastered histrade and Reina saw that his attention to detail and professionalism would be key for them to start their own plumbing business. With enough English knowledge and\u00a0repetitive study of the right answers, he was able to get his plumber\u2019s license and they decided to forge ahead on their own business path and launched Tingo\u2019s Plumbing in honor of the two Augustin\u2019s in the house; father & son. It is also how their name is said in Mixe, his native dialect.<\/p>\n
Reina has always remembered her Mom\u2019s advice to never stop learning and seek help whenever she needed it.\u00a0\u00a0She took a full-time job to supplement the income that Augustin used to make and at night she would search the internet for accounting tutorials and how to keep the financial records of her business.\u00a0\u00a0Her desire to be an effective business manager<\/p>\n
led her to the Women\u2019s Business Center and found the answers and business guidance that she was looking for through Libia Berbesi and her Latina Biz Team.<\/p>\n
(\u00a0https:\/\/www.new-wbc.org\/small-business-programs\/latinabiz\/?lang=es<\/a>\u00a0)<\/p>\n After much discussion, Agustin & Reina decided to take the next big business challenge and seek a $ 220,000 Loan for the purchase of 3 trucks and working capital. They booked an\u00a0appointment with me and The Small Business Lending Support Team (\u00a0https:\/\/newwbc.setmore.com\/ricsaenz<\/a>\u00a0)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0to see if we could give them a loan ready assessment of Tingo\u2019s Plumbing.<\/p>\n I was very impressed by the company\u2019s growth and how they quickly made 6 figures in Gross Sales and currently are projecting to make 10 times that milestone mark which puts them in a\u00a0great position to be able to obtain the loan they are seeking.\u00a0\u00a0They will only need to complete their business plan.<\/p>\n Tingo\u2019s Plumbing does not advertise, use social medial, flyers or other standby marketing at this time that is traditionally recommended for all business to grow because as Reina says,\u00a0\u201cour business has grown one customer at a time\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0They are very wise to know that timing is key for the success of every business and that 100% customer satisfaction is what creates repeat business and trying to grow too fast is when businesses cut corners and lose customers.<\/p>\n Reina can be reached at\u00a0tingosplumbing@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n Continued success Augustin & Reina!\u00a0\ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n Ric S\u00e1enz<\/p>\n Financial and General Business Manager<\/p>\n
