How To Expand An Office Cleaning/ Janitorial Business

By: Brent Wale

If you own and operate an office cleaning/ janitorial business, or looking to start one,Here's a way you can explode your income in your office cleaning/janitorial business without even getting any new accounts.

It's a simple method I use all the time. Rather than limiting your efforts to just finding new accounts, you simply expand the services you offer to current clients.

Such as carpet cleaning, window or wall washing, and even plant care. You can also increase your profits by selling some of the supplies to your clients as well. Such as refilling Soap dispenser's, paper towel, and toilet paper containers, which adds an amount to the contract price. You can also replace their light bulbs, and trash bags.

If you do the cleaning AND furnish the expendable supplies, your service contract will be a little more secure since the client depends on you for both the cleaning work and supplies. So not only does your income absolutely sky-rocket when you offer your clients additional services, but your client will depend on you more!

I can't stress this enough. I'VE made a ton of money by offering additional services to my clients. If your new to the industry you may just want to start out small and only offer the basic office cleaning services. That's what I did when I first got started.

Not only have I expanded by offering additional services to my clients...But I'VE also expanded into residential carpet cleaning as well. This can be more of a seasonal business depending on the city you live in.

But in the spring and Summer months residential carpet cleaning is very lucrative.

Keep in mind residential carpet cleaning (if done properly) does require a bit more equipment than office cleaning to get started.

With an office cleaning business you really only need a few basic cleaning tools and supplies to get started. A carpet business..again if done the right way..takes a little bit more of an investment.

Its not a good idea to show up in a small car, and a rented cheap looking carpet cleaner machine. You should first look into buying a van, or truck with a truck mount.

These are extra services that offices pay for in addition to the cleaning of their office. You can put lots of extra money in your pocket.

You could make a business out of any one of these extra "add-on" services such as carpet cleaning.

The Psychology of Leadership - When are You 'Ready'? By: Kate Mercer - In coaching clients on Leadership we've noticed an early sticking point. Though different people give different reasons, there is a common theme: at this point, the clients seem to be showing resistance to 'stepping up' to Leadership. They of course don't accept that it's resistance; from where they stand it seems impossible to assume Leadership, '...until...' Here are some of their 'untils': "Until 'they' accept my role, and I am officially 'anointed' as leader"; "until I've got 'all my ducks in a row' - finished everything I have to do";
