Atricle Dump - Are Your Cleaning Customers Motivated by Quality or Price?
Why is listening so difficult, and what can we do about it? Why do"rumors and hearsay continue, and how do we stop them? The first step is to uncover the root of these problems, which in turn will provide some solutions.Problem One: People Don’t ListenAlthough studies differ on the matter, many conclude that people speak about 150 to 200 words per minute and think at least 600 words per minute -- and probably a lot faster than that. Whatever the research, it is universally accepted that we all think faster than we speak. Therein lies the challenge. Our brains operate significantly f
The budget minded customer's first question is likely to be "How much do you charge?" As they tend to wait until the situation is critical, they may also be looking for fast service. Penny-pinching customers are also likely to ask for outrageous guarantees and try to get you to lower your price. The "budget conscious" are also more likely to complain about the smallest details even though they want everything done quickly and cheaply.

Reducing costs and expenses is a constant battle for those who are opening a dollar store. The battle starts with the very first steps that are taken in preparation for opening the business. They continue as long as the business remains open.The price paid for business space is one of those ongoing battles. Generally the store lease is one of the first things that is negotiated. All of the costs and expenses associated with the lease should have been thoroughly examined with the help of your accountant and attorney during the lease negotiations. Yet after actually opening a dollar store and as t
What are the differences between the "budget conscious" and the "quality minded" customers? There are always individuals who will make their final decision based on price. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that these are not good customers for your cleaning business. With the budget minded there are special issues to consider:
1. For the budget minded, regular carpet maintenance will not be high on their list of priorities.
2. They will probably only become concerned about the "soiled" look of their carpet and ask for cleaning before a special event or occasion.
3. When they finally decide the carpets need cleaning, they will want the "biggest bang for the buck".
4. The budget minded are also not likely to ask for special services, such as carpet spotting, floor stripping and waxing, and window washing.
5. Overall, these customers are willing to have fewer cleaning services provided and deal with some inconvenience in exchange for a lower price.
Quality minded customers have a different view because they value high standards, professionalism and great service.
1. The quality minded customer believes in the value of building maintenance and the results that are achieved with a contractor who provides quality service.
2. They are willing to pay to avoid inconvenience. 3. Poor service is a big irritation to the quality minded customer.
4. They will want carpets cleaned on a regular schedule and not allowed to become so soiled that they are an embarrassment to employees, customers and visitors.
Marketing to these two distinct groups means tailoring your materials to match what they are looking for in a cleaning service. The budget minded customer has let things go for so long that they will be in a rush to find someone to do the job. They may not take time to get referrals and will search traditional advertising sources such as phone books, newspaper ads, and direct marketing materials. In addition, they are always looking for specials or discounts.

THE GOLDEN RULE, do you believe in applying it to your cattle deals? And if not do you sleep well at night?I believe it may be the origin of or relates to the true meaning of what our forefathers had reference to when they came up with the idea of what is referred to as a HAND SHAKE CATTLE DEAL.

When doing medical billing of claims through electronic transmission media, the GE0 record is fairly new as enteral nutrition wasn't always something that was billable. In this installment of our GE0 CMN series, we cover fields 9 through 14.GE0 field 9, positions 44 - 51, is the date last seen field. This field tells the carrier the last time the patient saw the physician who issued this CMN. The reason this is needed is because with some items it is required that a patient see his or her doctor every so many days. If this isn't done, there is a possibility the claim could be denied because t

The "budget conscious" are also more likely to complain about the smallest details even though they want everything done quickly and cheaply.
Quality customers will be using a professional cleaning service regularly. If they become unhappy with their current cleaning service they will ask for referrals from friends and colleagues. They are not motivated by specials or discounts. If your cleaning company does not offer the specific services they are looking for, they may quickly remove your cleaning service from consideration.
Customers who are looking for quality will want a company that has a high degree of professionalism and takes pride in its work. They don't want any surprises when it comes to getting their building cleaned. This customer is looking for an expert and is relying on your judgment, knowledge and skills to handle their cleaning needs. They trust that you are recommending and providing what they need and not promoting services that are not needed. The quality minded customer wants a long-term relationship and wants to avoid going through that long search process of finding a cleaner that suits their needs.
It often takes a referral from a happy customer to get you in the door of someone looking for quality. When you do "get in the door" make sure that you have quality printed marketing materials. Know your business and be proud to "toot" your own horn.
As you are marketing your cleaning business keep in mind these two distinct customer types. Remember, the budget conscious customer is looking for specials and package deals. Effective marketing tools for "economy" customers will involve using direct mail, newspaper ads and door hangers. The customer who is seeking quality will most likely ignore these marketing strategies and be searching for a reliable and knowledgeable cleaner that has a solid reputation in the community. Remembering that there are two types of clients can help you market your cleaning business more effectively.
