Burn out. Some helpful tips to avoid this.

It doesn’t matter if you own an Office Cleaning Company like I do here in Atlanta or any business. You have to take care of yourself first. Without your health nothing that your working for will mean much plus the devastating affect it will have on your family. The Atlanta Commercial Cleaning market is a very competitive and very demanding business.

One of the biggest mistakes I see other owners make in the Janitorial Cleaning Business is they don’t or wont delegate office cleaning responsibilities to their supervisors or employees. This is the fastest way to burning out in the Janitorial Cleaning Business.

Office Cleaning owners tell me all the time If I do it I will not get complaints from the customer. I say fire your supervisors and hire new ones and present them with a booklet with their job description and duties in it and let them do their jobs and you do yours which is to follow up behind them and get out of the daily cleaning.

The importance of doing it right.

Your Janitorial Cleaning company I mean.

The Atlanta Commercial Cleaning Business is as good and competitive as it gets in the US. We all are trying to be competitive in these tough economical times but why on earth are some bids so much lower than others. I have seen Office Cleaning Bids that were forty percent less than mine and I my company is very competitive with our Commercial Cleaning rates.

Some office cleaning businesses need to realize that underbidding at any cost to get a nightly cleaning account has a domino affect that hurts both the new account that you underbid and you.

The domino affect starts when you realize their is no way you can clean your new account the right way and still make a profit , instead of five hours a night that it should take to clean your new account  you will need to have it done in three and a half hours instead.

Also you are going to have to pay someone to clean the account and for you to make a profit you again are going to have to cut corners. This my friends is the domino affect. It can and will destroy the Commercial Cleaning Business if we don’t come to our senses because regrettably some business just don’t care and turn their heads and take the lowest bid and then cant understand why they are receiving such poor nightly cleaning. We should as business owners do it right, take pride from our bidding to our hiring practices.

The Pros and Cons of Advertising in the Atlanta Commercial Cleaning Market

Through the years I have tried allot of different ways through advertising to grow my nightly cleaning business in the Atlanta Commercial Cleaning market.  When starting an office cleaning service be careful not to overextend your budget especially on advertising. The best way by far in the Atlanta office cleaning industry to grow your business is going door to door.

I signed on with an advertising company one time and ended up with twenty different advertising companies calling me about their product. To say the least I was not happy. I was rudely introduced to companies selling my name to other companies.

One good rule I follow is to not get involved with any advertising company that promises to bring new clients to my office cleaning website but want money upfront. I tell them if they’re so sure they can help grow my Commercial Cleaning Company in Atlanta I will pay them when I get the leads first.

Check with your local phone company they have some programs that you might be interested in.

The Atlanta Commercial Cleaning Industry is very competitive but I have found through trial and error that you have to be firm with advertising companies, some don’t listen as well as they should.

I had an advertising company write some articles for my Commercial Office Cleaning Company. What I got back from them were great articles but all the articles were about house cleaning not Commercial Cleaning.  So, you have to be careful who you do business with.

Self employment in the commercial cleaning business or not?

Everything in life has pros and cons and starting a Commercial Cleaning Company is no different. When a person is thinking about starting their own office cleaning company you can go about it two ways you can start from the ground up or choose to go with a franchise.

In this blog I wanted to touch on the first steps to becoming self employed or not?

The market for office/commercial cleaning companies is a huge business here in Atlanta, Ga.  Allot of people think that the market is so flooded with commercial cleaning companies that they have no shot in competing with the big boys here in Atlanta. They are wrong, Keep in mind that theirs is a small percentage of our population that own their own businesses so why aren’t their more people self employed.

Let’s take for instance the commercial cleaning business. People looking to start an office cleaning company or a company in general need information. Information is power and without information you start to second guess yourself and your family and friends will tell you that you are better off staying in your current job that you hate because it is safer. Again you and your family and friends aren’t qualified to make a decision on whether you should start your own business because why you don’t have enough information.

Now that I have busted your bubble and you are sad… Get excited because I never told you couldn’t start your own business you just need information which breeds confidence which translates into success. This is why so many people have a business idea such as a commercial cleaning service but not allot of information which results in that person never fulfilling their dreams.

Commercial Office Cleaning Scam to be aware of in Atlanta

When hiring a new Office Cleaning Service you would think that better days are ahead for you and that the new Cleaning Company might follow through on promises that your previous Janitorial Company could not and you can concentrate on the job that you were hired to do and spend less time answering complaints from different departments throughout your building about poor cleaning quality. Not so fast. Atlanta businesses need to be aware of one of the biggest scams that some Commercial Office Cleaning Companies pull that lead to huge liability issues for Atlanta and surrounding businesses to bare. When making a change with your Janitorial Service make sure you have on file the new Office Cleaning Companies liability Insurance and Bond and call to make sure they are still in effect. Then at least quarterly check on the liability Insurance to make sure that it is current or still in effect and ask Insurance Companies if they could send you an E-Mail if they are not. The problem or scam is that Commercial Cleaning Companies will buy a liability policy and only pay the first month premium and in return they get a certificate of proof of insurance and then let their policy run out or lapse but still use their certificate for the remainder of the year. You would be surprised that some companies go just by proof of insurance and not take the proper steps to make sure that they and their company are safeguarded from this type of scam.

Introduction to the Future Enterprises Blog

Hello welcome to my blog.

This is Michael Meehan owner of Future Enterprises Inc. A Commercial/Office Cleaning Company Headquartered in Atlanta GA offering first class Janitorial/Commercial Cleaning services to the greater Atlanta area.

I started my first office cleaning company with a good friend in 1992 and in 1995 it sold for $400,000. I then started my second Commercial Cleaning Company in 2000 called Future Enterprises Inc. and have Commercial Cleaning Accounts in cities such as Atlanta, Smyrna, Alpharetta, Roswell, Norcross and Suwanee GA. Most of the accounts we serve are in the three main counties in GA which are Gwinnett, DeKalb and Fulton.

The reason for this blog is that I get calls from all over the United States from people who are thinking about starting a Commercial Cleaning Company but have questions okay allot of questions and most Office Cleaning Companies that they call won’t give them the time of day I guess I am just wired differently because I end up spending an hour talking to them on the phone I really enjoy it.

I remember how exciting it was to start my own cleaning company and was lucky enough to work for a major Janitorial Cleaning Company for a couple of years first. I would have failed miserably if I didn’t have that hands-on experience first.

The things you can expect to read on my blog are from Twenty Four years of experience that I have in the Commercial Cleaning Field. Some will be negative and some will be positive but you will get an honest opinion and information from me. I will be offering advice to potential businesses looking for an office cleaning service and also give advice to other Commercial Cleaning Services as well and hopefully I will hear from you as I can learn as well to.

Thanks Michael.
