New Requirement for NSAs - Background Check
More and more, we, as a nation, are becoming ultra-concerned and extremely protective of personal data and personal information. Identity theft, depending on who you believe, is either running rampant in our country or not as prevalent as we have been led to believe. Still the “powers that be“ appear to be pushing for getting a handle on verifying the identity of all Notary Signing Agents. Some will see t

Ergonomic Office Furniture & Your Health
In recent years, the public sentiment of the American people has seen an interesting shift in a potentially extremely good direction. People have begun to be extremely health-conscious recently, a trend which has brought about a few rather notable things. First of all, the general wellbeing of the American people is on a rise, a notable achievement indeed. However, perhaps even more noteworthy is the increas

If your business is like many other traditional cleaning companies, you started by cleaning an office, apartment building, retail store or other commercial building. Adding additional clients may have included more office buildings, medical clinics and perhaps even expanding into manufacturing facilities. But have you stopped to think about expanding into residential cleaning? Perhaps some of the people who work in your buildings have asked if you also clean houses. This is an opportunity to break into the residential market.

Even if your cleaning business is doing fine with your commercial accounts, expanding into residential cleaning is one more way to increase your profit margin. You probably have all the supplies and equipment that you need to cross over from commercial to residential accounts. And as with commercial cleaning, there is always the possibility of add on services - carpet spotting, carpet cleaning, window washing and floor stripping and waxing.

There are several benefits to residential cleaning:

- Residential cleaning is typically done during the day, so it can be easier to find employees.

- Improved cash flow for your business as payment is required after the service is performed.

- Commercial accounts usually require bidding against several competitors and requires extra time on your part to calculate and present your bid. Residential customers don't often want to spend the time getting prices from several different companies.

- Residential customers tend to go with a name they trust and stick with that company.

Your Team Members Don't Have To Be Perfect
I would like to say that, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. I believe everyone wants to constantly improve. I believe each one of us is created as perfection; however, the results we create are excellent, so there is lots of room for improvement in what we do. The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawnmower shop like myself, were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Worki

Murder, Policies and Procedures
On a recent Sunday, the Philadelphia Inquirer shocked our local community by stating the obvious: "Even after the carnage at an Amish school in Lancaster County last week, a spot check by Inquirer reporters found a surprising number of security lapses at schools across the region. In spite of rules aimed at limiting public access, reporters who fanned out on a single day walked into more than a dozen schools

Planning a Memorable Corporate Theme Party
For this year’s corporate theme party, let’s travel back in time to the roaring twenties when prohibition, gambling, and gangsters ruled the world. Try to select a venue for the corporate get together that has a great 20s feel, a genuine art deco kind of location, if at all possible. Otherwise, consider a warehouse look that can be transformed into just about anything you want. As the guests enter the par

Thank You Corporate Gift Baskets
Corporate gift ideas have come a long way from being mere ornamental showpieces. Today, they have a greater significance as they are used to strengthen and foster lasting relationships. There are several different occasions that might call for corporate gifts. Whether it is in sickness, in appreciation, to convey happiness or to offer condolences, there is a right card and a right gift basket to convey all t

- Residential customers tend to go with a name they trust and stick with that company.

So how do you make that first step from commercial into residential cleaning? First take a look at the market in your area and study the competition. Is your area saturated with residential cleaning companies? If so, make a few calls to the current cleaning companies and see what their charges are and if they are accepting new customers. There still may be opportunities available if the current residential cleaning companies are already booked up several weeks in advance.

Once you have an idea of the competition and prices in the area it's time to start looking for residential cleaning customers. A good place to start is with your commercial accounts where you have already built up a good reputation. Send out a flyer announcing that you are now offering residential services. Or see if they'll allow you to post a flyer on the break room bulletin board. Also, send out press releases to your local media announcing your new service. Start slowly and as your reputation builds your client list will grow.

Although commercial and residential cleaning clients are similar, there are also some major differences to keep in mind. When cleaning a home it is a more personal space and cleaning expectations tend to be higher. Cleaning homes can also have major obstacles - such as grease filled kitchens, rust stained bathroom fixtures, and pets.
