I have been doing residential cleaning for about 6 months now and I was wondering if someone could give me some tips as to what is the best way to get commercial accounts and post-construction cleaning accounts. I have sent out some letters, but have not received any response.
Also, to do medical offices are there certain OSHA requirements that I have to meet in order to try to get these business.
I appreciate all the tips that I can get!

Commercial Accounts are a little bit Harder to get. It will take a while. First you have to prove yourself or your Company that is worhty of a Contract. Second you have to know your Area. How many established Cleaning Services are there. How Big are they? can I compete with these Companies in terms of Financial. Meaning you have to buy Supplies,Marketing,No. of employees etc. I always suggest that newbies established themselves first. No need to rush. Once you have established yourself it will come and you will be surprised. The first Steps are Marketing Online and Offline. Get a Website. Be a member of Service Magic and choose the right categories for Services you Offer. Respond.com is also a good Refferall Ads. Pros for Home. My advice is you want yourself to grow is get a Professional Site for your Company this also gets 40% of jobs online.
Go get certified by Osha by attending some seminars. Its Free and visit them on the Web to choose what Categories you want to attend. IICRC has a Manual on Cleaning Basics and a membership of your local Chamber of Commerce will help a lot.Attend some of their Lunch and Learn and hand out some Professional Fliers with your Logos and Description. Medical Office and Professional Commercial Accounts always deals with Pros. Its also hard earned Money they will Pay for the Services you will render.

Thank you for your advice. I will look up the things that you have told me right now. I don't want to move to fast because that is how most people fail when they try to everything at once.
Thanks again!
