Start Your Cleaning Business--Click Here!
As we all are in uncertain economic times,
I wanted to send this word of encouragement to you.
My friend, Sam Rodman, just recently helped someone who had
purchased the Start Your Cleaning Business Guide.
About one week earlier, he asked Sam for a second opinion on
the price of a bid and Sam, always willing to help his customers who buy his ebook on starting a cleaning business, assisted him with that.
Well, guess what?!? Sam's customer landed a very profitable
office cleaning account that pays him over $2000 every month and, of course, it is very part-time cleaning that gets done.
So...what did the guy say to get the job? What did he do? Well, I can tell
you the same thing that Sam suggested to him. That is this:
**Instead of just giving someone a price for your cleaning service,
and leaving it at that, ASK them some questions FIRST.
!>>Have a brief discussion with the decision maker regarding the price
to get their feedback on the value of the cleaning service from their perspective. Ask the decision maker these questions-and get the answers:
!>>How much were they paying? What was the problem
they were having with their previous cleaning service?
!>>Is such and such a price per month in their budget?
!>>Can they justify a higher price for you if you include the
changing of the burned out ceiling lights?
Always speak with the decision maker in person
and always try to come to an agreement with them
on the price that you want to get paid for your service
before you put that price on your service agreement
and give it to them.
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
And consider this....
Authority is inner confidence. Trust in your judgement,
in your skills and your abilites. It comes from the inside, from an
attitude of "I can do this and I deserve success"
This attitude will radiate outward to any decision maker as you assert your rights, honestly ask for what you want to be paid and develop a willingness to give to others and yourself.

I am often asked about bidding on the larger office buildings.
You know, the one's that are over 10,000 square feet in size.
There are many of these and they are all over the place and a great opportunity for you. Once you get them under contract, these larger offices are your 'bread and butter'.
The "Instant Office Cleaning Kit"which you should already have (Get It Here!),contains lots of specific information that I know will be very useful to you in your own cleaning business. As you should know, it contains forms, service agreement, introduction letter, and estimating chart and much more useful information that is proven to be a great help.
The estimating chart in the Kit goes up to 10,000 square foot offices
in size and specifies the individual price per cleaning. Keep in mind that
if the office is in anyway medical that you should charge more because a medical office will have treatment rooms in them and each treatment room has a sink. If the office is medical, I will usually always double the price on the chart because you can get it and because it is worth it.
When figuring out a price for large office buildings that are
typically over 10,000 square feet in size, you should consider
the following as a guide:
BIDDING TIP
Simply multiply the total amount of square feet times .10 cents.
On the large office buildings, this will provide you with the price
per month. The total monthly price is determined in this manner.
Remember, this would be your monthly price and not your
individual price per cleaning. This monthly price is based on
cleaning to be done 5 times a week.
Most all office buildings this size requires the cleaning to be
done 5 times a week. Quite often in an attempt to control the
cost for cleaning they will only want a full cleaning 2 times a week
and a light cleaning 3 times a week. This is to be expected
on the large buildings.
Just ask them if they want the full cleaning
done 2 or 3 times a week but point out to them that the
cleaning service should show up 5 times a week.
A light cleaning takes half the time to do as a full cleaning, but you
can still get your .10 cents a square foot anyway. Especailly if you
are including the changing of the burned out ceiling lights.
This is a great selling point by itself and justifies a higher price
per month. Keep this in mind when estimating any large office
