CleanWork Report #0004

🤫 Private contracts, 👀 seeing properties, 😵 working 2x.

🙏As always thanks for reading CleanWork Report #0004!

Let’s get right to it!

Private Contract Foundation

Any contract is great.

But the chance for long term sustainability is higher when your company has a foundation made of private contracts.

Private contracts give you the ability to build relationships.

And if great service is provided, it can result in long term contracts that span years. 

📓Greatest Lessons From Successful Cleaning Companies VOL. 1 - Lesson 3

Believe it or not, there are some cleaning services out there that don’t see the building and just bid on it anyway.

Not sure how this ends up working out if they win the contract.

I wouldn’t recommend this.

Either you or someone you trust that knows what to look for and can gauge the size of the facility should go.

There are just too many variables that you would miss out on if you didn’t see the building you will be cleaning.

💬FAQs

Responses:

Thoughts:

I would have to say a range of 8-12 cents per sqft for that size facility would be pretty competitive. If the client also wanted cleaning beforehand then everything wiped down after, obviously, the price would go up.

If your not sure of what to charge I would a price that you think would be worth wild.

If you get it, great.

Ask what the other numbers were, maybe you were way under.

If you don’t get it, fine.

Ask what the other numbers were, maybe you were way over.

Either way, every bid is an opportunity to cross-reference your numbers with your competitors.

Thoughts:

My suggestion would be to look for contracts that can be cleaned after 5. That way you can do it/manage it without being a burden on you current job.

Once I found a contract that can be done after 5, I would make sure to price it with the intent to pay someone else to do it. This will give you the opportunity to look for more business.

Rinse and repeat.
