5 surefire ways to compete in the office cleaning business

You have decided that office cleaning business is best for
you, now you need to know who your competition is.
Knowing this will help you to decide what your plan of
action will be in dealing with them.
You will want to know what their successes have been and
what their pitfalls have been as well.
You will want to avoid making the same mistakes that they
have, but it is always good to know what works as
well if you plan to compete. In some cases, you may find
that the best way to compete with your competition
is to not compete at all, especially if they have
established a long and trusted reputation with their
consumers.
In this case, you will want to compete with them without
competing with them at all. Below are some ways that you
can do that. You do not want to alienate your competition or
build feuds with them because they can be a source of
great help to you if you know how to approach them. Here are
some good examples of ways that you can create a good
rapport with them.

1.Offer to be an affiliate of theirs. This way you can
ensure that they will send business your way if they cannot
meet the present needs of a customer that you can supply.
(This is also called sub-contracting)

2.Offer to not have certain extra cleaning services(for
example waxing or steam carpet cleaning) that they offer and
ask them to do the same. This ensures that each business
will not be in direct competition for certain cleaning services.
Each gets their own special item that none other offers. It
is a great way to promote one another without causing any
problems. This is a nice way to cross advertise.

3.Do not place your advertising directly beside any major
competition. Doing this will only give you a 50% chance of
success; lower if they are already long since established.
Satisfied customers rarely use new competitor
