Sometimes its amazing in this business. You can put in an estimate to clean a building and be hired on the spot, and sometimes the estimate has to flow through channels and approvals, there is also waiting time for the current service providers contract to expire. We put in an estimate for cleaning a medical facility in September of 2005, got a call this morning for a meeting to confirm the contract and prices. Almost 7 months later. How fast have your received a contract? Or how long was your wait?

Some-times....yeah...like DAY times and NIGHT times, LOL! Kevin, you're contract took longer than I've been in business!
I'm interested in hearing the answers from the others -- I don't have enough experience yet, I think my waits have been "normal." (Is there such a thing in cleaning?)
Cheers!
John

I just received my first Industrial account. General cleaning, nothing major. I quit my job and my boss quit her business. She is going back to school. Very long story, but the account went to me. She was ok with it and I am very happy. They were going to make it open bid, but when I accepted they decided to stick with me instead  Im pulling doubles, because my sis is sick right now and I dont want to bring anyone else in. Hopefully will be back online this weekend. Really busy right now. Just wanted to share my happiness  I did turn in my proposal yesterday lol. Linda |

This was the only account she had. She wasnt interested in doing this type of business. She only did it to make her dad happy. She is going back to school to study something else. She has one book to complete to get her high school diploma then she is going to check out some courses that may interest her. I had to sub the account from her this past week, but it starts under my business Monday. I am so very very happy Thanks to everyone ;D Linda |
