Boosting the sales of contract cleaning services

How to boost the sales of your contract cleaning services?

Increasing sales is always an issue with any business venture... and perhaps more so for any cleaning company, due to harsh competition within the industry.

Yet, in sales, there's a point at which the number of new clients (and the income) tends to level and, try as we may, above which we don't seem to be able to reach.

This is the so-called "stagnation point" of sales that most smaller businesses inevitably hit at one time or another in their development: Income and sales level out and then increase VERY slowly from thereon.

You try to counteract it by spending more money on advertising. You try to fight it by allocating more time for sales and investing more effort into trying to find new contract cleaning customers.

But it's hard going. Try as you may, the sales and income seem to stick stubbornly at the same level despite all your hard work. And sometimes the end result can be a LOWERING of income and clients...

So, what's happening here... what's causing this stagnation?

 

Reaching the end of current "sales engine output"

Although one might think that any selling is just like any other method of selling, there are in fact virtually hundreds of different methods and systems of obtaining new contract cleaning customers.

Each of these individual methods has its own specific strong points and weaknesses.

Imagine the way of selling cleaning services within one company as an ENGINE whose task it is to produce new contract cleaning customers.

Due to the resources of the cleaning company, this engine has some definite limitation to its power, speed and reach.

This "engine" works just like ANY mechanical power source. Compare it to a car engine, for instance. Just like a car engine set horsepower, torque, top revolutions, fuel consumption and top speed... well, your sales engine has the same limitations to its output.

And, once you've revved up the engine to its maximum output, it won't go any faster, no matter what you try!

The output of your sales engine depends on many factors, such as...

- how much the organisation can afford to spend in advertising
- what type of alternative methods it has for finding prospective customers
- how regularly the organisation uses these prospecting methods
- how spot-on the message is (how much instant interest it creates in the minds of facility managers who already have a cleaning service)
- how much the offered service includes those points which facility managers WANT from cleaning services
- how good the presentation of the service is so that facility managers get excited about the service and want it (more than you want them as clients!)
- whether or not you are needed in every phase of the sales (from prospecting all the way to sales closing)...

...and so on.

Each phase of your prospecting & sales system has an efficiency ratio (or, a success rate) that is never 100%... and the lower it is, the more you have to work and the more money you have to invest in it in order to obtain a contract cleaning customer.

Suffice to say that if everything is dependent on YOU personally, then it's not hard to see how you simply could run out of time, what with all the OTHER responsibilities you also shoulder as the head of the company.

If you've run into a stagnation in results — if your income and sales have levelled out and won't increase easily — then you've reached the outer limits of the output of your sales machine.

There is good and bad news here. The good news is that you've done extremely WELL to squeeze out every last drop of efficiency from the sales engine that's THERE... and the bad news is that the machine can't go any faster.

The solution becomes...

 

Changing the sales engine into something with more capacity and power!

When one "sales engine" has been used up to its utmost output so that it cannot be revved up any further, the solution is to change into a new one that can offer a higher efficiency ratio and output with the same resources (personnel, investment of money and time, etc.) that are at your disposal.

It's actually not commonly known that there are a lot of different sales systems or "engines" available. That's why most cleaning company owners think that nothing can be done to increase sales continuously.

What differentiates one "sales engine" from another are its SETTINGS for power and efficiency.

For instance, a prospecting system that can be used by just about ANYONE to obtain good potential contract cleaning customers is a very efficient tool in terms of cost and resources; it doesn't require expensive ads and it doesn't necessitate YOU to use it, see?

If this prospecting system can be run daily with very little cost and its results are visible within a day or two (you start receiving good prospective clients) then there's no risk and you can concentrate on more important things.

If you can acquire top-quality prospects at will anytime you want — and practically in any QUANTITY you like on monthly basis — AND if this system is inexpensive to run (so you can keep it going all the time if you so wish) then we can see what an extraordinary boost this would give to your sales.

Similarly, if you had a special contract cleaning service whose characteristics are unique in how they correspond with what facility managers WANT (but aren't receiving) from cleaning services... well, it's going to create enormous PULL for your services, allowing you to not only reach a higher sales closing ratio but also do so with higher-priced quotes than those of competitors!

Another example of a "better-oiled" machine could be a clever way of controlling clients' complaints with preplanned tools so that there are far fewer of those time-consuming complaints and they're handled much easier.

Yet another condition for better efficiency would be a way to charge clearly MORE for your services than currently, thus increasing the all-round profit margin and making your work bring in more. This again necessitates an edge in competition because there are always those who compete with low price alone.

In fact, there are many things with which you could shift gears with your sales onto a higher level. All of these things save a lot of time while bringing a lot more results... all of which will simply increase the efficiency ratio and output of your "sales machine."

 

Boosting the sale of contract cleaning services

Essentially, changing the system of sales — the approach, the prospecting and the presentation of the cleaning service — is the best way of boosting the sale of contract cleaning services.

Once you've reached the uppermost limits of the output of your current sales system, the change may also be the only reliable way of shifting gears so as to start a new boost in sales onto a higher level consistently.

And that's exactly what many cleaning company owners have found out when using the tested and proven sales system tailored for selling contract cleaning services.
