Start the New Year with New Approach

You need to get noticed and recognized among the new account competition of todays market. To do that you want to do things a better way, a different way than your competition and a way that is sometimes more affordable to a potential customer. To win new office cleaning accounts, make changes and be different.

For Example
"More affordable" does not necessarily mean that you make any less money for your cleaning service. Instead...offer to do a light cleaning and then the next time do a full cleaning to save them money. A full cleaning is everything listed on the first page of your service agreement. A light cleaning is simply getting the trash and touching up the restrooms. That's all and it goes very fast!

This can reduce the price per cleaning around 25% for a light cleaning and you'll still do very well. The customer would save money and you would get a new account.

Saving them money is a great way to get your next new account. Suggest it to the decision makers in emails, faxes, phone calls, letters or post cards.

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.
