Some entrepreneurs get started by cleaning residential homes but later get into office
cleaning which can be much more profitable. Office cleaning may not be the most glitzy
business but many business owners have slowly and steadily grown small businesses and
ended up wealthy from this industry.
While no business is immune from recessions, demand for office cleaning usually remains
steady throughout economic downturns and strong during prosperous periods.
Beginners in the office cleaning business can definitely benefit from getting some advice
and insights from those who have personal experience in running successful commercial
cleaning businesses.
One excellent product to read before you start planning an office cleaning business is a
guide by Sam Rodman called the 'Instant Office Cleaning Kit'. Sam Rodman has been in the
business for nearly twenty years and has written a great report that is designed to help
entrepreneurs to start up the right way and avoid unnecessary mistakes.
The thing that stands out about Rodman's book is a copy of the cleaning contract that
Rodman has been using for years. The agreement gives some great insights into what should
be on the table when it come to negotiating a cleaning contract.
His guide puts emphasis mostly on sales and marketing and the distinctive approaches and
systems that Rodman has in place that have proved themselves time and time again.
The guide doesn't offer a lot of practical office cleaning information, which is easily
found elsewhere, but rather focuses on the business side.
The guide also offers information on starting a business the right way, generating leads,
hiring employees and the most effective approaches for selling cleaning services to
prospects.
The guide comes with a range of relevant business business forms and standard letters as
well as a copy of the contract that has been so effective for Rodman's business for so
long.
I highly recommend the 'Instant Office Cleaning Kit' to anyone who is looking at small
business opportunities. Even experienced operators will learn something from the excellent
information that Rodman has set out.
