"The Janitorial Store has provided me with tons of guidance. Using the strategies have helped with my professional image and overall knowledge of the industry.

"I started my cleaning service 6 years ago and want desperately to grow. Until now I didn't know how I was going to do it. Now that I have your business plan and marketing plan downloads along with other information I'm well on my way. I'm down right glad I invested in your program, it's the best! Thank you!"

"Steve and Jean - I just want to thank you for your great job. I don't know why it took me years to join The Janitorial Store. I have been trying to do it on my own for the past 5 years. I wish I had all the information I'm getting now. Thank you very much. Any person that wants to succeed in the cleaning business, needs to tap into your wealth of knowledge."

"TJS Family -- I just wanted to let you know about 2 accounts that my company was awarded. I was awarded a charter school account which is worth $10,252.00 a month, with the opportunity to bid on more charter schools. I have also won a smaller account which is worth $525.00 a month. I want to say thank you to Jean and Steve for all the knowledge, and other cleaning business owners here who gave me advice and inspiration. I could not have done it with out you guys, and that's a 100 percent true Fact."

Steve Hanson

Now, while many RFPs or ITBs require that lowest price wins the award, there are many prospects who are looking for a different level of service when hiring a janitorial company. Seeking out those who are value driven and marketing to those prospects will be a great use of your time and energy. . . . keep reading
