PSAI PRO Talks Selling the Service PSAI Member Lauren McGraw, Gotta Go Site Services, explains to a local publication why it's important to go the extra mile in this industry Lauren McGraw, owner of PSAI Member company Gotta Go Site Services, recently met with Katie Eubanks of the Clarion - Ledger to talk all things portable restrooms. McGraw showed her the ropes of servicing a unit, explained how she got started, and shed light on the importance of a job well done in the porta ble sanitation industry. When Eubanks contacted McGraw at Gotta Go, Memorial Day weekend was just around the corner. McGraw postponed their meeting, putting it best by explaining "Potties (are) like gold right now," succumbing to the opportunity for a "pot of gold" pun. While she may poke fun at the busy season, McGraw made it clear how serious she takes her role. "She established Gotta Go after failing to find a porta - potty business that could meet her needs," which seems to be a common thread for those who are passionate about providing an exceptional portable restroom business. Knowing she wanted to go out on a business venture of her own, McGraw took to Mississippi's job sites to ask, "If I opened (a porta - john company), what should I do differently?" Surprisingly, the answers were simple: "Clean the toilets regularly and make sure the locks work." With these requirements in mind, she set out to open Gotta Go in July of 1997. An incredibly hands - on owner, McGraw "tries to be on - site herself when her t oilets are present at big events." While her daughter doesn't understand her need to "have to do everything," she responds by explaining how "bathrooms are personal. You're not selling porta - johns, but service." Perhaps this is why she is not afraid to get her hands dirty. According to McGraw, it doesn't take new employees long to take her seriously. "If I'm having a problem with an employee, I get in the truck and go w ith them (to do the work). It's humbling (for me), and it makes them loyal. You can't thi nk you're too good to do the work if you expect your employees to do it."
