"Jean and Steve, this is a big thank you for your knowledge and expertise
in operating your company. There is an old familiar saying, 'only in America'.
Well that is how one should feel about The Janitorial Store. 'only at THE
JANITORIAL STORE'. Where else can one go to find the wealth of information that
you provide daily? Where else can one have experience people like you and people
like Sharon Cowan, Dick Ollek and Debbie Sardone, just to name a few, share
their knowledge of how to run a successful business. These are people who have
been there and done that. Thank you and continue doing what you do best."

interesting to outa sight for me. I am mostly residential and in the beginning I
was somewhat interested in this site, but lately I cannot get enough of it.
There are so many new things that have been added. starting with Debbie Sardone
interviews, Sharon Cowan's articles, and lots of other very interesting people I
had not heard of before also. The addition of being able to listen to or
participate in the phone discussions is a great asset. The interviews are
fantastic. There are lots of classes that are reasonably priced that I can
purchase now. You also have bid forums and bid calculators, which I love. I
really could just go on and on, but most of all I just wanted to let you guys
know you are doing a great job in so many different areas! Thanks for what you
are doing."

"The Janitorial Store has been a lifesaver; Right before I joined, I did
a walk-through for a school fair (the biggest job my company has ever had) and I
had to complete a bid package over the weekend to submit it that following
Monday. I had no idea what I was doing. I was really worried about the quality
of the bid package. I did not have a clue on how to start or how to even word
the janitorial terms on the bid. I decided to join The Janitorial Store and
download their sample bid package. When I saw the quality of the sample package
I was overwhelmed with happiness--it was so professional! I modified the package
to fit the service requested from the school, submitted it, and then received a
call saying my bid was accepted. I was so excited! I have The Janitorial Store
to thank. The Janitorial Store is one of the best things that has happened to my
company. Keep up the extraordinary work!" -- Kiera Christoph, New Heights
