Green Cleaning Tips

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 »

New Additions to CleanTelligent, Janitorial Software

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:

Effective Sales Tips

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.

How to Win More Bids

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 »

Efficiency in the Workplace

How to be Efficient in the Workplace

I grew up being a HUGE basketball fan.  While I've never been a fan of the Lakers or the Heat, I've always admired Pat Riley as one of the best coaches of all-time.  His secret? Efficiency.  He has been quoted as saying "a particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a player's personal signature, but efficiency of performance is what wins the game for the team."

This is a statement about basketball, of course, but it can apply to the workplace as well.  As anyone who watches basketball knows, there are many players who think that the best way to win is to just shoot and shoot until the ball finally goes through the net.  As everyone who watches basketball also knows, teams that rely on players like that usually don't do very well.

I'll break down what I believe are the three most important things to remember when you're trying to get more out of your workday.
