Lead by example
Before you try to sell yourself to other businesses, it is important to perfect your offering so that you are confident in the fact that you have a desirable service to sell. Spend time training your staff and refining your procedures, and make sure to execute every job for your current clients excellently. Going above and beyond for these clients is likely to result in word-of-mouth referrals to neighbouring organisations.
Become a household name…
…in your local area! As a cleaning company, much of your trade is likely to come from businesses, offices, bars, restaurants and venues that are in the town or region where you are based. Each of these places will have a requirement for cleaning, so it is important that your company is the first name they think of whenever it is needed. Send stories or advertisements to your local newspapers or media outlets, and make yourself known at community and business events so that your brand becomes synonymous with high-quality cleaning in your area.
Target directly
While you are waiting for companies to come to you, don’t waste any time scouting out even more business! Identify the key industries or specific offices that you want to target, introduce your business and try to set up a meeting. Even if they are currently using another contract cleaning company, if you offer a great service that has been recommended by others, and you can give them a competitive quote, then they may be calling you sooner than you think.
The first step to winning that commercial cleaning contract is being confident in the service that you have to offer. Find out how Unique IQ’s remote workforce management software can streamline your workforce to leave you with happy clients every time!
