How To Bid Janitorial

 

How to bid janitorial accounts is one of the most important factors when it comes to pricing contracts, or properties for cleaning services. There are plenty of people who spend thousands of dollars to learn how to bid janitorial accounts properly, but mostly it comes down to experience like anything else in life. Once you start your cleaning business and have it registered  the best way to learn is to calculate small properties. For instance I always say you should take measurements of your home, condo, or property and try to estimate how much it would cost to service. This is the easiest way to learn, and really helps you understand what you will need when pricing jobs.

 

But please make sure before going out to price contracts that you have all the loose ends taken care of like insurance, licenses, and suppliers. The worst thing that can happen is you go bid on a janitorial contract and win the bid, but then lose it because you couldn't provide insurance documentation, didn't have the right licenses to operate your business, or didn't even have a supplier. Having a supplier right off the bat is good because usually you can get catalogues from them with pricing for equipment, chemicals, supplies etc... Knowing this before hand will help you be accurate when determining the servicing costs before adding your profit.

 

If pricing by the square foot usually these prices are all fixed in and included depending on the property and what is required. You should always have the total cost of labor, equipment, insurance, supplies cost before adding your profit. The last thing you want when you bid janitorial contracts is to give a price, only to find out very quickly your not gonna make any money because the costs to service the account is actually gonna cost you more then you estimated. How to bid janitorial accounts can be easier then you think if you prepare well before hand, and it also helps because you won't have to go back to your client to re-adjust the price. If you do I can almost certainly guarantee your gonna lose that account because your client will get the impression you have no idea what you're doing.

 

If you really want to learn how to bid janitorial contracts, take the time to do some research in your local area for all the costs associated with running and servicing an account like the one your interested in servicing. Call around to local companies and see if anyone would be able to help guide you in the right direction for insurance, supplies, equipment, etc... But please don't share with them what account or property your after. Believe it or not there are companies out there that will steal business from you right underneath your nose.

 

Last but not least, price as many jobs as you can. They only way to learn how to bid janitorial accounts is to actually bid on some. The more you do, the better you will get at it.
