underdelivering, putting both your business and the client’s employees’ health at risk, there’s a simple solution to the problem.
In a similar way to the local communities coming together to support each other during these difficult times, now is the time for these corporate cleaning companies to do the same: join forces and tackle COVID-19 together.
Teaming up with other local cleaning firms and hygiene specialists will allow you not just to meet your current demands but also offer additional services that you may not currently provide, so that collectively you can reach out to new potential clients.
What you’ll need to consider when looking for those to collaborate with is, what are you currently missing? Is it people, time and resources? Is it specific COVID-19 cleaning equipment or services?
If it’s the first, then you may want to look for smaller cleaning companies that will have the teams and cleaning expertise but may not have the large corporate accounts that are requiring additional cleaning services. Furthermore, they may have actually lost business during the pandemic, as many smaller businesses have been forced to close or are asking their employees to work from home.
Bring in the experts
The more difficult challenge is looking for those local businesses that offer the specialist services that you need to keep the retained clients you currently have, and allow you to reach out to others.
Firstly, make a list of the specialist services that you’d like to add to your roster, such as antibacterial misting treatment, decontamination cleaning, disinfection or fogging. Once you’ve put together a list of the services you’re after, it’s time to do some digging and research who, in your area, offers these services and reach out.
The biggest tip I can give to you when researching companies that offer these additional services is to look beyond your standard corporate cleaning firms. Consider other businesses that specialise in hygiene such as hygiene inspectors, manufacturers of cleaning equipment and pest controllers, for example.
Many of these specialist businesses have branched out in response to the pandemic to offer additional services to ensure businesses can remain ‘COVID-secure’. Like many businesses during the pandemic, these ‘hygiene specialists’ will have faced challenges to stay afloat. They will have had to adapt the way they work and what they offer to make sure they can keep operating. As a result, they are likely to be open to collaborative business operations. So, I’d say, reach out and start discussions; at the end of the day, you’ve got nothing to lose.
Coming together with businesses that previously may have been your competitors or smaller businesses that you’d never even considered could work together may seem odd, but these are odd times. I say embrace the change, and let's work as one to create a clean, COVID-secure environment for businesses so they can keep operating through and come out of the other side of the pandemic.
