More Tips for Your Success

My friend,Sam Rodman,arthor of Clean Up the Profits!, sent me a few fantastic tips to put your cleaning business ahead of your competition. I want to share them with you:

Do you have a slogan?

It has often been said that you can become the vision that you have
of yourself. It is called visualizing and it is something you can do to achieve greater success for your business. Start doing this by putting a sub-title or a slogan underneath your business name. Say something that makes you stand out or better than other cleaning companies. Put it on your business cards and letters and service agreement under your company name.

Remember...
When you are speaking with potential customers, you never want to be seen as someone who is desperate for a sale. Many cleaning companies make that mistake and if they ever do get the account it is always for a low price. Acting desperate for an account will never work in your favor. Acting professional WILL work in your favor.

Ask questions to gather information. Find out what the competition is not doing for them and be seen as someone who is there to help them and not there to sell them anything. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes.

Decision makers are attracted to a cleaning service that can help them, not a cleaning service who needs them. You can do it!

Selecting The Best Equipment

What's The Best Vacuum Cleaner To Use?

For many years my cleaning service used a very heavy vacuum cleaner. It was
a commercial upright machine, something I purchased second-hand and could afford. It was really tough and durable, but it was very heavy. Anyone using it would wear themself out pretty quick. Pushing it, pulling it,
lifting and moving it around chairs and furniture. Then I switched to a brand name lightweight upright vacuum called Oreck XL 2000 Upright Commercial 8 lb Vacuum Hypo Filtration. That worked great but it was not cheap.

When you first get started, just use whatever you have. When you are ready to purchase one, get a lightweight vacuum cleaner and you'll be glad you did. The Oreck XL 2000 Upright Commercial 8 lb Vacuum Hypo Filtration weighs just 8 pounds.

The work goes faster with a lightweight vacuum cleaner and it will be easier on the person doing the vacuuming. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Just be sure to get one that is lightweight for your cleaning business and everyone will be happy when they need to use it. Remember an extension cord too.

GET A NEW ACCOUNT!!

If you still want a client for your own office cleaning business then first I would re-read the information on "The Best Proven Methods for Getting Customers" in the Start a Cleaning Bussines Kit.

Then I would work on at least 2 of the methods to get a new customer. You must mix them up and not depend on any one way.

The good news is.. that even in this economy, certain businesses
continue to do very well such as doctors, medical, attorneys, and many others.
These are the clients who always employ a private cleaning service
and they will employ yours too! There is lots of bad news on TV these days.

I suppose they are reporting the truth but the truth is also that your office cleaning business Is... Recession-Proof. Remember that because it will serve you well to do so.

You don't have to do anyone any favors when you price an office. You are in business to make money and you can do that with your own office cleaning business.

There are many offices and office buildings in your area right now that are already employing a private cleaning service. Do they know about yours? They should know because one thing leads to another. I could go on about this but enough for now.

Always stay persistant and use different methods on a regular basis.

BIDDING TIP

My friend and author of a fantastic resource for you (Start an Office Cleaning Business), Sam Rodman, just sent this to me. I know you'll find it helpful:

Hello!

In these tough economic times, I thought it important to share
with you my thoughts on bidding. First of all, remember that
the service of office cleaning is in fact a recession-proof business.

There are many offices and office buildings that already pay for this
service because they need it. Even in tough economic times, they still need
it and they still pay for it. So you have that working for you.

I still get new customers for my office cleaning business and you can too.
When the going gets tough the tough going.

BIDDING TIP

Your goal is not to just make phone calls and mail out letters. Your goal is to submit your bid and then mail out your bid follow- up letter. Do those things first and getting the customer will follow.

If you need to, involve a salesperson in your business. If you do that , I suggest that you offer them a 10 percent commission every month for the first 6 months on each new account. At that point the commision would stop.

Whatever price you come up with for a new account you should still try to discuss it with the decision maker and come to an agreement regardless of any other bids they may have. You want them to employ you and your cleaning business over any others.

So , discuss the situation with the individual in charge. Point out to them that your cleaning service includes everything listed on the first page of your service agreement.
In addition to that,( if need be) tell them that you will include the changing of the burned out ceiling lights as part of your service. This is a very good selling point and quite often a deal breaker. Most cleaning companies do not perform that service but you can offer to include it.

There is always a price range in which an office or building could be cleaned for. Normally that range could go up about 50 percent higher than the price that you have in mind.
Point out this range to the decision maker and ask them if this is in their budget?
Try to come to an agreement with them and get the job for your cleaning business, regardless of any other bids. It's not all about the price.

There is a security issue for them to consider as this is an indoor service. They don't want anyone in their office anymore than you would want anyone cleaning your home. Especially different people all of the time. Get personal with the decision maker.
What is it going to take for them to employ you and your cleaning business over anyone else?

Be persistant with them. Follow up with phone calls , letters and even a personal visit.
Build up your own list of prospects. Even if that list starts out small, say 10 prospects,that would be just fine. You can refine your list as time goes by. Keeping only the hottest prospects on your top 10 list. Keep in touch with them and always try to come to an agreement with them in person.

By asking them the question, "is that in your budget?" you are involving them in the price.
You are getting their feedback and their help in coming to an agreement on the price. Most people will be helpful with you and they will at least open up with you regarding the price they are willing to pay you for your service. Use questions as a tool when speaking with the decision maker as this will always help you out.

Office Cleaning--Pros Agree It's the Most Stable in These Economic Times!

I belong to a network group of cleaning professionals-from residential to large commercial independent businesses. We were discussing how business is and if anyone was loosing clients. The residential cleaners are loosing customers as people cut back expenses. Large commercial cleaners-the ones that clean places like auto dealerships and gyms, etc-are loosing clients as businesses close and this group is also having difficulty collecting.

The one area of cleaning that everyone, and I do mean everyone, agreed was not really feeling the economic pinch was Cleaning Small Offices!! Why? Because those small, usually independent, businesses will always need someone to clean their offices and because these business people are, and have been, very cost conscious, they are more likely to hire an independent - YOU - over a franchise.

Our little group also discussed some of the best small businesses to get as clients because of the daily need. The two that came up the most were, drum roll please...dentist offices and funeral homes. The last one surprised me, but as I thought about it, it's perfect!

I just had to share this with you!

There's Good Reason to be Positive About Office Cleaning Business

Our new President says that our economy is going to get worse before it gets better? I think that is true...BUT....SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE. Some things remain the same. LOOK AT THESE OFFICE CLEANING FACTS...

The fact is...most cleaning services do NOT do a good job and they do not give thecustomer what they are paying for. Most office managers are not happy with the cleaning service that they have at this time.

The office cleaning industry is so huge. There is plenty of room for you. Once most cleaning companies become large, the quality of their work goes downhill.

JUST ONE new office cleaning account, (especially a Prime Account) that PAYS OVER $1000 DOLLARS A MONTH) for Part-Time cleaning service each week...CAN BE LIFE CHANGING FOR JUST ABOUT ANYONE...INCLUDING YOU!

No up-front money is required to make this business work.

The Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit explains A Proven Method of getting started in this business that is totally risk-free. I'm talking about getting an office cleaning account all lined up and ready to begin paying you every month for your cleaning service BEFORE you need to spend a dime on anything at all.

When you consider all the facts (above), you should really consider jumping in and getting started. Many, many offices out there and office buildings continue to payfor a Part-Time cleaning service EVERY MONTH because they really need it. They will always continue to pay for it and they might as well be paying it TO YOU.

Don't just imagine it, when you really can experience the secure and "guarranteed monthly cash flow" for yourself!

There is good reason to be positve about this office cleaning business.You should be because you can make it work! Office Cleaning Business StartUp Kit

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.
