The Janitorial Store used the video “Commercial Cleaning Dos and Don’ts” to discuss the most important things business owners need to know about running a cleaning service.
Dos
Get Involved With Networking
According to the video, you should ” network like an influencer” and “meet at least five new people”. It will help you build new relationships and get your name out there. You can attend events, join groups, or even start a networking group.
Use Core Business Pillars
You have to deal with sales, HR, etc.
Developing systems is a must. These include daily huddles, tracking metrics, and celebrating successes. You should also document everything and have a plan for when things go wrong.
Hire the Right People
Find people who fit your company culture and who will be reliable. Make sure you also have a training system in place.
Don’ts
Go Into Retail
There is no money in retail. You’re better off avoiding it altogether.
Lower Your Price
Don’t let the customer make a false promise of more jobs if you lower your fee. It’s not worth it in the long run, and those “extra jobs” never happen.
Forget About Marketing
If you don’t market your business, no one will know you exist.
Wait Too Long To Followup
The video advises us to “Set a follow-up date within a five-day mark”. If you wait too long, the customer will forget about you.
In conclusion, the Janitorial Store’s video has great advice for anyone starting a commercial cleaning business. Following these tips will help you get ahead of the competition.
