I've often heard that, in times of stress, cleaning is an easy way to escape from everything swirling around you.  While it does take me (personally) a great deal of effort to get my eyes away from the TV and to finally start cleaning, I find it very therapeutic as time goes on.  Because of this, and because I'm on-the-go most of the time, I do all I can to find any cleaning tips (especially green cleaning) that will help me get everything done more efficiently.

With that in mind, and in the spirit of the spring cleaning season, I've put together a short list of cleaning tips that anyone can benefit from, whether it be in the office or at home. Read more »

If you don't have all the right information, it becomes much more difficult to be able to focus on which improvements you need to make.  That alone is why I'm happy to announce that CleanTelligent has made available new, additional reports (making data analysis easier), along with many software upgrades to existing reports on our janitorial software.

NEW ADDITIONS TO CLEANTELLIGENT REPORTS

A major addition/upgrade that we've made is to include average "inspection scores," so that it becomes much easier to analyze the data in the report.  Along the same lines, we've also added:

I think Jerry Seinfeld had the right idea when a telemarketer wouldn't leave him alone - he turned the tables on them and made the telemarketer realize how his calls were completely inconveniencing Jerry.  The problem that most people have with salespeople is that they feel that the salesperson sees them as a bag of money.

Another problem is that, in my experience, many salespeople try to put on a front - I can tell that the "real them" is completely different than the person standing in front of me.

Here are a few excerpts from the article posted on CleanLink.Com:

In the modern world of competing for contracts as a BSC, sometimes we feel a bit like David when he faced Goliath.  Like many of the "big boys" in the jan/san industry, Goliath seemed superior to the "small-business" David in every way: 

Goliath was a physical specimen seemingly bred to become the ultimate warrior.  David was a shepherd who had never set foot on a battlefield. 

Goliath had armor that weighed over 75 lbs, shielding him from almost any kind of bodily harm.  David tried on some armor, then had to take it off because he wasn't strong enough to move very well in it.  

Goliath not only had a giant shield that was likely almost as large as David himself, but he also had a large spear and a sword.  David had a sling with a few small stones that he picked up along the way. Read more »

How to be Efficient in the Workplace

Ooh-la-la! CleanTelligent is now available in French and supports international time zones. We
also welcome some new faces to our multi-lingual customer support team. One of
them is Taylor Larkin. You may have spotted him at CSSA’s CanClean 2011 in
Toronto as our French Customer Support Representative.

Not only is CleanTelligent available in English, Spanish,
Portuguese and French, but it helps companies across the rest of the globe too.
You can find people using CleanTelligent in the United States, Puerto Rico,
Guam, Canada, UK, Ireland, Brazil, Qatar, and Australia. You are also likely to
find our staff at the delicious Chinese food place next door.

For those of you going global - CleanTelligent now supports international time zones, and has improved overall
time zone support. This means you can specify a time zone for your individual service
locations rather than being allowed only one time zone for all of your accounts.
It also will automatically add or drop an hour when daylight savings rolls
around. Read more »

I just got done interviewing [CleanTelligent Customer] for a letter of recommendation for
CleanTelligent.  When I asked him about the benefits of CleanTelligent he
shared an experience he had recently where he had scheduled to call Dahlin
while in a meeting with the Vice Presidents of that division.  When he
called the VP’s picked Dahlin’s brain and he answered every question that they
threw out at him.  [They] said that he went above and beyond “normal
customer support” and surpassed any experience that he had previously with any
other company.  Thanks to Dahlin, we have a client who loves
CleanTelligent and all that we do.  Thank you!  A huge victory for
CleanTelligent and the Customer Service Department.

“CleanTelligent is what makes our world go round so thanks for getting it to us.”
