experts gathered here to talk about the latest products give seminars on the
latest news in the industry and network and meet friends we're going to be
asking all of the industry experts what is their number one tip to grow a
successful cleaning business none let's go ask them what is your number one tip
for growing a successful cleaning business I think for the year the
cleaning industry or cleaning business of the large one of the crucial issues
is persistence that is don't give up keep trying but I
think that the by and large the history has shown us that if you are still in
big business after two years and then the chances are that you've won
successful formula but getting to that two-year point is crucial
yes the other thing I think with German which I say to most people who are
looking to start a business is you will go into a business with a limited amount
of resources use them very wisely and for us one of the criteria that we
always feel is that training and development money is never wasted if you
look if you've got to spend your money make sure that people are best suited to
do their job they're trained they're competent and they're very much able to
do the jobs which you put in front of them what is your number one tip for
growing a clearly Business Survey don't service for all your customers I think
the number one tip I would have is know your market list you've actually got to
know what you're trying to do and how you're going to actually get the the
pinnacle is it is I mean anybody can start up a business and just thank you
right I've got an idea this is tremendous but you've got to
know who's gonna buy who's looking for that they're worth the demand where's
the demand coming from how you're going to finance it whatever so it's
marketplace where should people stop well there's a spin take the cleaning
show you come to the cleaning show you talk to the people here this is a
fabulous Center to network but as well as that knowing local demand going in
talking in the local supermarkets or in the local shops cinemas all these sort
of places where you can start to see where people are starting to congregate
talk to them what do they need what what's missing in that location or all
right and then start to formulate to your business plan put that together
that's the right question speak to the right people
well you actually have to because people buy from people and don't buy for I know
a lot of people buy online and other magazines and all that so don't feel it
respect who do you like and who do you want to and very much doing the taping
industry really once you get a good cleaner once you get people in the G
trust coming in you know they're not going to take anything they should be
taking or take liberties if not turning up at the right times whatever once you
get somebody into that position to trust the cleaning industry you're relying on
