Selling Contract Cleaning Services 101

Are you starting a new contract cleaning service company? Or, is your company still in the early growing stage? Are you constantly changing "hats" as you try to guide your company toward more profits and better operations?

It can be hard to find the time AND the resources to move forward!

This book shows you the systems and methods you can apply to become the company you are striving to be. Whether your goal is to build a solid, family business or take on the major players, it all depends on identifying, prospecting and closing the right customers.

You don't necessarily need a lot of money, but you DO need a lot of commitment to make this happen. In fact, commitment in the right areas with the right direction may be ALL you need. The systems and processes outlined in this book have been used by the author to build a successful multi-million dollar operation.

And now he is sharing them with you!

Pay particular attention to Chapter 14. It can change the way you see yourself and your company. Even more importantly, it may just change the way your customers and prospects see you and your organization.

This book is not your typical boring human resource handbook but, rather a "how to" guide on how to be creative in finding the right, GREAT employees for your organization, and how to implement the procedures and policies that have them wanting to make your company a career rather than a job.

Dick explains the difference between just hiring a "warm body" and recruiting someone that can become a valuable asset to your company, either full time or part time. He shows you how to be creative in recruiting, how to manage the application process, how to conduct an effective interview, and provide an effective orientation that gets the new employee excited to be part of your team.

You will see the critical part that training plays in reducing turnover in your company, and why training has to be done differently with adults than with children.

This book provides you with:

1. A complete sample Hiring Process Manual
2. A sample Employee Policy and Procedure Handbook
3. Sample job descriptions for a Building Service Contractor

The DO'S & DON'TS of Contract Cleaning
From One Who DID & DIDN'T

Whether you are thinking about entering the contract cleaning business, have a young company that may be struggling to get to the next level, or have a mature organization that may need to look at things in a different light, this book is for you.

From naming your company to selling your company, this book covers all the bases. Dick takes you through the mistakes he made when starting his company, to the stumbling he did along the way, and how he got up and kept going. Some of his real life stories will amuse while others will make you sit back and take note of how you can make corrections in your company that can save or earn lots of dollars for you.

He includes ways to approach a banker, attorney, accountant, insurance agent as well as the suppliers of your cleaning products and equipment. Doing these things right will put money on your bottom line, doing them wrong may put you out of business in a hurry.

Not to be forgotton, he also includes a chapter on preparing your company for sale. Dick sold his company and can provide helpful suggestions on what you need to do and not do to be ready to sell. Dick interjects humor along the way to emphasize some of his mistakes and what he learned from them. You will particularly want to read chapter 18 where he talkes about his favorite sayings and how they affected him. In that same chapter he also talks about actual calls he took from employees calling in to report they would not be at work and how he handled the calls.

Last but not least, he provides you his thoughts on how to focus on becoming a leader as well as what he envisons the characteristics of real success are.
