How to Bid a Commercial Cleaning Job

•How to do onsite bids
•When and how to have a budget conversation
•What to include in a bid

Does the idea of going on site to give a bid to for a potentially large contract give you the heebeegeebees? You know you need to know how to bid commercial cleaning jobs to really grow your cleaning company, but the thought of going on bid after bid and hearing “Thanks, We’ll get back to you” a dozen times makes you feel like throwing in the towel.
Does this scenario sound familiar? You get to your appointment, on time, ready to talk to the “boss” about what their needs are and how you can serve them and wouldn’t you know it, you end up with Carl from the mail room giving you an abbreviated tour of the office and bathrooms before shoving you out the door and asking to email your bid to some junk mail email account they set up for unwanted salespeople.
Would you like to know how to avoid being treated like the redheaded stepchild and more like the knight in shining armor? How about being able to know you’re going to have a straight answer right then and there at the end of your appointment and not 3 months from now…maybe
