It’s Not JUST Janitorial Businesses Chasing Price!

Think janitorial businesses are the only ones recklessly slashing prices in the desperate hope of landing more jobs – Think again.

I spoke with a sales rep from a Jan San Supplier the other day. Wow, you should hear their side of things.

Well, after hearing my friend, the JanSan Distributor rep tell about the man-your-battle-stations, prices lashing wars these guys have to fight each day, well, I may have to cut ‘em a break and stop portraying them as… the ‘tycoons’ of the cleaning industry.

Well, you know the drill – ‘The customers only want the lowest price. That’s all they care about. Period.’

He was frustrated – business was tougher than ever, and he felt his only weapon to battle this war with was, you guessed it – PRICE. Lowering it, of course.

Sad. Really, more than sad, put in biblical terms – the path to destruction.

Nothing worse than feeling completely trapped – with no idea of how to get ‘un-trapped’.

But, you can… get un-trapped, that is. Here’s how:

As quickly and effectively as possible, learn and implement the very best marketing, sales and profit strategies you can find.
