The Secret To Success In Business

I recently received an email from a friend of mine, who is more like a brother, and is also in the business. He has been at it a little longer than me and has helped me tremendously in building my business and sharing his wisdom on lessons learned. His email said this -

"As I see it.. the best way to succeed in business is to create so much value for your service and go so far above and beyond what they expect, while not requiring anything in return."

That's pretty much the essence of business and keeping your customer. That's why this guy is successful. He busts his butt for the customer and doesn't ask for anything.

So in a nutshell, to succeed in business you have to give your customer more value than they expect and pay for. If you do that, you'll have a customer for life.

The Air That We Breathe

I am seeing more and more in trade magazines about Indoor Air Quality Standards and articles on improving indoor air quality. This is a part of building maintenance that is starting to get pushed to the forefront as workplace health care concerns are on the rise. In order to achieve this all aspects of building maintenance must be brought into play. This includes carpet care, hard floor care, air duct maintenance and constant detail dusting. Not to mention everyday cleaning.
I will be touching more on this in later posts. If you have questions or something to share on indoor air quality, feel free to post.
Have a good day!

Cleaning tip #2

Sorry so late in posting today folks - had a floor to do this am. Anyway hope everyone had a good weekend. Today's tip deals with saving time and energy in cleaning. Enjoy!

There is no reason to clean something that doesn't need cleaning. A mirror may just need hand prints removed. A carpet may just need spotted instead of a full on clean. Whether you clean for a living or just clean your own place - you can save your self time and energy by just doing what needs to be done. Not cleaning for the sake of cleaning. For some areas, a touch up is all that is needed. Hope this helps. Have a good day!

Erase those marks!

I normally don't endorse brand names but I have to tell you that the best way to get rid of practically ANY mark on a wall is to use Mr Clean's Magic Eraser. I haven't found anything that is easier or better for taking off marks. I have used this product over and over in my cleaning and 99% of the time it can take off any kind of mark. They really got a good product in this!
Hope this helps! Have a good week.
