    On an average day your staff will go to work and the time will pass routinely, without incident. But unexpected events can happen. Whether the incident is life threatening, a small spill, or the building loses electricity, you need to make sure your staff is prepared and knows how to respond.

    When the lights go out. Most cleaning is normally done in the evening hours, so when the electricity goes out your staff will not be able to do their jobs. But that does not mean they should immediately leave the building. Many buildings have emergency lighting, but if it is totally dark, your staff should make their way to the entrance so they can see. Employees should contact their supervisor. They may have to use a cell phone as the building's phones may not be working. If an employee does not have a cell phone, they should wait 30 minutes to see if the electricity is restored. If not, then they can leave the building and go to a phone to contact a supervisor.

    Spills. Cleaning companies deal with several different types of chemicals so you need to train your employees on what chemicals they are using, how to use the chemical correctly, and where to find the MSDS sheets. No matter how careful your employees are when using and handling cleaning products, there can occasionally be a spill.

    Many cleaning products contain chemicals that can cause burns, eye irritations or skin irritations. Personal protective equipment (gloves and goggles) are to be worn when cleaning up spills. If there is a small spill, wipe it up with a clean cloth and allow it to dry. Barricade anything that cannot be wiped up immediately. If you don't have any barricade tape, use a chair or something that is easily seen and that people can't walk through. Then go clean up the spill. The method for cleaning the spill depends on the chemical that was spilled. The product's MSDS will contain information on how to clean up spills. If the employee has any question on dealing with a spill, he or she should immediately call his/her supervisor.

    Falls. Often when someone falls they are embarrassed and want to act like nothing has happened. Encourage the person not to move until you are sure they are okay. If necessary, call for help. After helping the person check and see what caused the fall. If the fall was caused by a slick floor, a hole in the carpet, or loose tile, report it immediately. Fill out a written report of the accident as soon as possible after the incident.

    Fire. Your cleaning crew should know where all fire extinguishers are located. They also need to know where emergency phone numbers are posted. If an employee comes across a small fire and knows how to use a fire extinguisher, they should put it out and then call their supervisor. If they are unable to safely put out the fire, employees should immediately leave the building, call the fire department, their supervisor, and the company's contact person.

    Health Problems. Encourage sick employees to stay home. You do not want them to spread any germs or viruses to other employees.

    There may be sudden health problems that come up that your employees should be trained to deal with:

    Choking. If an employee does not have first aid training and there is no one nearby that has first aid training, they should call 9-1-1 and ask for help.

    Heart Attacks. Make the victim comfortable and immediately call 9-1-1.

    Blizzards and Heavy Snowfall. As most cleaning companies work in the evenings there is a good chance that your employees can get "snowed in". If your cleaning business is located in a part of the country where snow can be a problem, put together a plan to deal with snow emergencies. Make sure your employees know what is expected of them in case of sudden snowstorms.

    Steer Clear Of These Words To Close The Sale
    When you have a qualified prospect in front of you it is imperative that you avoid saying anything which triggers fear or doubt in the prospect. Sounds obvious right? It’s surprising how many sales people do all the hard work only to miss out on the sale because they blunder at the final stage. When your prospect is properly qualified and has seen the benefits your product/service has to offer it’s often more a question of shutting up and not messing up the sale rather than trying hard to ‘sell’ them. To avoid closing blunders make sure you keep well away from the following words.The fir

    Keeping the Books: Have-to and Ought-to
    Many feel that once an entrepreneur has gotten a business up and going, they are bored by operating the business and ready to move on to their next startup challenge. In fact, the proof of the entrepreneur's mettle is in demonstrating that the plan for the business was sound, and that the strategy was executable.This often requires that they stay with a business for several years to prove the concept, before selling or going public, and possibly bringing in longer-term professional management.
