Our Core Product Includes:

.

Membership in the JaniQuest Network. We are not a franchise, and we don't become your "partner". We're a service, pure and simple.

.

You'll receive our 210-page Manual that contains everything I know about the janitorial business, based on over 30 years of experience.

.

You'll also receive our Documents CD with dozens of documents, sample sales letters, business forms and templates that you can edit in Microsoft Word to suit your own business.

And you'll get our DVD Training Video for your employees, which covers nightly cleaning, including trash removal, dusting and spot cleaning, restroom maintenance, vacuuming and vacuum maintenance, building security, etc.

Give this DVD to your new employees to watch before you give them their hands-on training. It gives them a huge head-start on understanding the janitorial business, and the work in general.

.

.

.

.There are hundreds of topics discussed in the Manual, all designed to save you time and money. Without listing them all, here are the highlights:

.

• Marketing Your Company - How to get sales leads; sales scripts; sample sales letters; targeting your leads; how to get free Dun & Bradstreet and Info USA company records for your mailing lists, marketing materials, and more.
  
  
• The Most Effective and Yet Inexpensive Way to Get Your Business on the Web - Using web search engines such as Google and Yahoo is now the most common way that building managers and owners shop for janitorial services. We'll show you how to get your business on the web quickly and easily, and get customers to call you - and you don't even need a website.
  
  

• Bidding – Many of our own accounts discussed, described in detail, and broken down into size, characteristics, square feet, population, how much we charge, how long it takes to do the work, how much we profit, and more. We explain how we “back up” into the bidding process to arrive at final prices, checking our numbers in several ways against other benchmarks.

.

• We also explain our system of Team Bidding, which is a totally unique way of assembling bids, and has been very successful for us. As far as we know, no one else uses this method of figuring bids. We have landed virtually all of our largest accounts using Team Bidding.

.

• Employees – How to find good employees, how to interview them, what we look for in an applicant, how to screen their background, how to train them, and how to manage them. Our employees stay with us 3 times longer than the industry average, and we attribute that to our ability to find the right people.

.

• Our Own Employment Application Form - This 5-page application form that we have designed and fine-tuned over the years asks all the right questions. When you’re finished reading a filled-out application, you’ll have a very good idea as to the applicant’s situation, background, general intelligence, and whether you want to move ahead to an interview.

.

• Our Own Employee Handbook – Our 20-page employee handbook that you can edit to fit your own business. This handbook explains the janitorial business to your employees, gives rules, policies, and guidelines, and covers just about every situation we have ever encountered.

.

• Operations – Zone Cleaning vs. Team Cleaning, Your Working Managers, Work Loading and Routing, the Building Manual, and more.
  
  
• Save time and money on just about everything - Buying the right equipment the first time - for instance, we recently replaced every vacuum in our business with a new vacuum that we've been wishing someone would invent for 30 years now (and it's definitely NOT a Dyson!). It's inexpensive, it's light, and it has every feature we've ever wanted in a vacuum, and we can tell you where to buy it.  Or the new floor-cleaning machine that fits in the trunk of a car and takes the place of equipment that costs twice as much and takes up half of the back of a van. You can scrub a floor and have it ready for waxing in the same time it takes you just to unload and set up the old-fashioned, bulky equipment. It's information like this that can pay for your JaniQuest membership in literally one purchase of the right equipment!

.
