We have been going for 2 years now & I have been contacting businesses regards to their regular office cleaning and havn't had any sucess yet. I call to ask to speak to the person dealing with the office cleaning - sorry we have cleaners we're happy with at the moment or we do it ourselves. I've also been to a small business park handing out full colour postcards but NOTHING.

Is there something I'm missing?

ANY advice would be very much appreciated.

my tip would be to set aside 2 hours each wednesday afternoon and just walk in to various businesses and ask to speak to the boss . tell em what you are offering ,with an on the spot price , if you keep up this routine, each week ,success will follow on

We have done exactly the same thing and we have been running for 3 years.It seems almost impossible to get office cleaning. If you find a solution please give me some tips - I am sick of being turned down so that some little woman with no insurance and who does a terrible job especially on toilets gets the job for £6 per hour.

Same here, but i have started to look for empty business buildings or businesses who have just moved in, or i try and look through yell see who is new, also you can get a business sheet from yell / bt,  so you can contact people, i have not done this yet. But the others i mention do work.

Hi Apple,

Well cold call is the only way! Well it use to be. And not just a couple of hours each week.

Yes we use List from Yell, BT, Thompson. However Now.. many actually contact us for a quotation. The most thing we come accross is Tupe.

The original contractor not being up to scratch. Sorry theres no real secret to getting your foot in the door. Except perseverance! Meet then drive round and walk in.

Sure, yes we have taken on  a few contracts where we have taken on the staff and re-trained them, we found that the cleaners have been around for sometime and become part of the business so they feel guilty if they god rid of them, so they as if we can take them on but they must going on our training course and have our standards, or we find that like you said its the contractor management is the problem, lack of communication, visits, problem solving etc etc

Its great, when people use it i think most just can not be asked to type so they call or email! 

Also i can see who refers the site, i can see you viewing it shows host name, pages being looked at and how long they been on page.

Try it out if you like, i am logged on no one else will take it.

£150 for the licence but think its worth it.

Dave

Finding opportunities to quote the most difficult. Our presentations are professional and cover every aspect of the cleaning required. The ones we have presented to and quoted have said they have got a friend of a friend to do it. Its all about the price - they really dont seem to care who is cleaning their offices as long as it is cheap. I am amazed that they let anyone in when there is alot of sensitive and confidential information hanging about - amazing.
