Getting New Customers in the New Year

Because... many janitorial companies who are on a one-year contract
are going to be in a position of having it expire very soon.
That is okay if they do a good job, but most do not. That is why
the opportunity for your cleaning service to get your foot in the
door is BETTER THAN EVER at this time.

Get back to the basics. Make the phone calls again and call people back.
Send the faxes or a new version of your fax message to the offices.
Remember, faxes don't cost you a penny. It is free advertising for you.
Drive around your area and write down any new offices or office buildings
that are not yet completed and contact them. Find out who the decision
maker is and get in touch with them. Persistence prevails if all else fails!

Remember, the higher price your services are, the more people expect
your marketing materials and methods to be unique. It is never ALL
about the price. There is a huge security factor to be considered by the
office before they just turn their key over to anyone. Some office managers
have learned from experience that they will get what they pay for in a
cleaning service. These are the prospects you want to find and get for
your own cleaning service.

Get back up to the plate and hit a home run! It only takes ONE good
customer to boost your income every single month.

Start off right, without costly mistakes! Sam knows how you can make $54,000 Part-time in 2009!

Finding New Business and Customers for Your Office Clening Business

Start an Office Cleaning Business

When you are driving around your area for whatever reason.
Keep a pen and paper with you in your vehicle to write down
a name and phone number from a sign in the front of any new office
or office building you see that is obviously under construction or going
to be opening soon.

When looking for a new customer, you don't want one that is
far away. You ideally want to develope a route of accounts that are all
in a similar area of your town. This will reduce driving time and allow you
to concentrate on developing your business within as area that is best for you.

This may seem like an old fashioned way, but simply be on the lookout
when driving around. Whatever sign and phone number is in front of the office
or office building, write it down along with the street that it is located on.

Later on, you get onto the phone and be a private investigator
to find the correct person you need to speak with regarding the hiring of
their new cleaning service. The early bird gets the worm so you can't make
initial contact to soon.

www.yellowpages.com is also a good resource when trying to track down a phone number for a particular business in your area. You may need to speak with acouple of people before getting to the right person but that is normal. Use these new names and numbers and add them to your personal list of prospects that you are working on.

If you have someone who can assist you when driving,
then all the better. You or the other person can concentrate on the driving while the other person writes down information. You would be suprised at how many new prospects you can find just from driving around. I am always locating new ones that way.You can too.

Need Customers for Your Cleaing Business?

My good friend Sam, who has had a successful Office Cleaning Business since 1992, was helping me with ideas to increase my office cleaning business. I want to share one of them that has already brought me a new client and $2,500/month----

Every County across America has their own website.

You may want to take a look at it just to see what that one looks like.
Once at the website for your area, you would click onto,"Building permit reports" and then you would click onto: "unincorporated XXX County" to locate new building permits for office buildings.

You can locate them for each individual month. Go back 6 months at a time
because it quite often takes that long for a builder to finish building a new office building.

NOTE:

You will need to find out what the website is for your County where you live.
Call you local courthouse for starters and find someone who can tell you exactly
the correct website for your area that will show you the building permits for offices
and office buildings in your area. Try calling the building permits office in your area
first.

This is a matter of public record and you can access and see this information along with the owners name of the office or office building. Start with the owner as he or she can at least tell you who the decision maker is. You may already be talking with them.

It is a great source of leads and new customers that should not
be overlooked. The early bird gets the worm. So start with these new building permits going back 6 months up to the present, and stick with them like glue. Call them and track down the decision maker regarding their future hiring of a private cleaning service. Keep your own personal notes on each one that you call.
Mail them and call them on a regular basis with the goal being to submit your bid
for them to at least keep on file. When they are ready to hire a cleaning service
you will be there and they will be expecting you too.

You can check out these building permits once each month to see whats new. Even if your initial list consist of only 5 or 10 that would be just fine because they are so well targeted. Your list will grow and your chances of getting a new customer who pays you every month for your cleaning service will be much greater.

If you are not already doing this, it is easy to get started with this method. All the best proven methods for getting customers are contained in the Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit and you should do a mix of them all. Don't depend on any
one way of getting customers. Mix them up and always include phone calls as part of your efforts to get a new customer because it works!

If you're not sure how or what to say in your phone call or introduction letters, the Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit has scripts and introduction letters already done for you, plus contracts, estimate charts, book-keeping, supplies and, well, just about everything you need to run Your Office Cleaning Business successfully and start making money FAST!

It won't happen if you have the proper knowledge and tools that the Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit provides...and it's inexpensive! If you can't afford it--you can't afford to be in the business!!! Plain and simple.

How to Start Your Own Business - What to Choose?

You need money and you need it now...I know how you feel! The rent's due, and so are the credit cards-which you've been living off of- the utility payment, car payment and on and on. And either you're not making enough at the job you have or you've lost your job and there are few prospects out there for you. You're beginning to panic.

You think, maybe I should start my own business, be my own boss and be in control of my destiny. That's the attitude! So, you think of businesses you'd like to do. But are they realistic for you to easily start and make money?

Here are a few I found people searching about and why the business won't, probably work for you:

Car Wash--the permits alone will break the bank, plus the water bill!

Baking Business-again, this type of business requires permits and inspections, whether you go retail or wholesale

Credit Repair-tons of competition and do you really know the business? Plus there is a liability to you for being sued if you give the wrong advise

Newspaper Business-I chuckled at this one (sorry!) Large newspapers are downsizing and going out of business weekly!

Oh, the list goes on for people looking at how to start your own business with unrealistic ideas.

BUT, that doesn't mean you can't find a business that is low cost to start, fast to get customers and can grow continually. One of the best is a cleaning business, either residential cleaning or office cleaning-sometimes called commercial cleaning.

There isn't really much start up required: some good, solid durable cleaning equipment is a must. Also, advertising is relatively inexpensive. Flyers and word of mouth seemed to be my best marketing tool. Offer a discount or free clean for new customers or as a referral bonus for your clients who refer new business. But the most important piece of advice I can give you is to get bonded/insured. It doesn't cost that much and it gives clients piece of mind. It also protects you. I actually had one kookie client who accused me of stealing from her. Although she didn't pursue it legally, I would suggest protecting yourself (it also protects you if something gets broken).

One of the fastest ways to start this business and get ALL the needed paperwork, guidance and "how to's" is to visit the Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit site, where Sam tells you exactly how to get going fast and start bringing in the money within weeks! And for only a few hours of work a day!

Sam has been in the cleaning business for over 15 years and knows his stuff! He also knows and will tell you about residential cleaning, if you prefer to start your own business in that field.

Stop feeling lost and hopeless and TAKE ACTION! You must be in control of your destiny! Yes, it will take some work, but you will reap the rewards with consistent checks being deposited into your bank account. Take a look at the Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit TODAY!!!
