The Artistry of Client Relationships in Commercial Exterior Cleaning

In the ever-evolving realm of exterior cleaning industry, the reign of quality and trust is paramount. Success goes beyond the achievement of a flawless finish. It's intricately tied to the creation of robust, enduring relationships with clients. These relationships not only bring value to your clients but also play a pivotal role in the sustained triumph of your business.

The canvas extends far beyond the physical spaces you meticulously transform. It's a canvas of relationships—each connection adding a unique brushstroke to the masterpiece of your business success. So, Let's not merely clean exteriors! Let's embark on a journey to craft lasting impressions and relationships that stand resilient against the test of time.

Why is Building Connections an Art?

Trust and Reliability:

Building strong relationships forms the bedrock of trust, a fundamental element for any successful service. Clients gravitate towards services they trust and deem reliable, especially when it involves regular access to their cherished properties.

Word of Mouth and Referrals:

A contented client transcends a mere transaction; they become potential ambassadors for your services. Nurturing a robust relationship can metamorphose your clients into enthusiastic advocates, sparking powerful word-of-mouth marketing and invaluable referrals.

Understanding Client Needs:

Beyond surface-level interactions, building relationships involves delving into the intricacies of your clients' unique needs and preferences. This deeper understanding becomes a competitive advantage, enabling the delivery of a more personalized and tailored service.

Client Retention:

Retaining existing clients isn't just a financial gain; it's a strategic triumph. Strong relationships cultivate loyalty, curbing turnover and ensuring a steady, dependable client base. It's not just cost-effective; it's a savvy business move.

Feedback and Improvement:

A well-nurtured relationship fosters open communication. Regular clients, feeling a sense of partnership, are more likely to provide candid feedback. This invaluable insight becomes a tool for continual improvement.

Upselling Opportunities:

Trust acts as a gateway to exploration. When clients trust your services, they become more open to considering additional offerings. This not only enriches their experience but also contributes to increased revenue per client.

Market Stability:

Amid the unpredictable waves of the economy, a firm foundation of repeat clients offers stability and predictability. It's a strategic advantage that anchors your business in uncertain times.

Pressure Washing Institute

He has been eagerly waiting to share this message with you all.

Rather than identifying solely with industry-specific titles, highlight the real impact of your services.
Instead of simply labeling as a pressure washer, showcase your specialization in sidewalk cleaning. This strategic approach eliminates misunderstandings and invites clients to discover services they might not have realized were available.


Positioning yourself as a sidewalk cleaner presents a chance to educate and showcase your expertise. Emphasizing the advanced technology you utilize—such as high-pressure, high-temperature washers—not only ensures superior cleaning but also effectively sanitizes surfaces. It's about more than cleaning; it's about providing a thorough, innovative solution.


Insights into the often-overlooked realm of restaurant maintenance shed light on the crucial behind-the-scenes work that guarantees a clean, safe dining environment.
Recognizing this is pivotal, especially when the job doesn't meet expectations. Consider this scenario: while most restaurants have a nightly cleaning crew for extensive maintenance, the upkeep throughout the day is equally crucial. Tasks like prompt table wiping or immediate spill cleanup play a pivotal role. Without these, chaos and unsanitary conditions could prevail, undermining the overall dining experience.

Picture this: the cleaning crew finishes their work, yet noticeable discrepancies linger. In the restaurant industry, daily cleaning isn't always feasible. Employees often handle ongoing soil and maintenance tasks. Though they may use tools like a guard hose and deck brush, the gold standard remains the pressure washer.

Observing an employee's dedication extends beyond a fleeting moment. Our aim isn't criticism but education and demonstration. Rather than pinpointing flaws, leverage your expertise through a demonstration. It's not about fault-finding but showcasing top-notch quality.


The key to maintaining pristine restaurant spaces lies in remembering that demonstrations sell. They highlight your expertise positively, opening doors for collaboration. Embrace and exhibit your expertise; let your work do the talking. Demonstrations aren't about discrediting efforts but unveiling the potential of a professional touch.


By showcasing superior practices and utilizing advanced technology, we guide our clients toward more efficient and cost-effective solutions. It's a testament to dedication and commitment. As professionals, let's take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work put in every day.

Let's delve into the sales strategy.
When demonstrating our capability for comprehensive deep cleaning services, it's not merely about price reduction but emphasizing the value we bring. Through efficient deep cleaning that minimizes the need for frequent maintenance, we're not just cutting costs; we're optimizing their expenses. This is where our expertise as professionals shines. Here are essential insights on engaging decision-makers: initial interactions focus on acquisition costs, considering that not everyone fully grasps the extent of our services.


Target commercial clients by offering regular maintenance contracts.
The goal? Securing recurring work through maintenance contracts scheduled weekly, bi-monthly, or on 30, 60, and 90-day intervals. When we tackle deep cleaning tasks bi-monthly or every 30 days, subsequent maintenance becomes faster and simpler. This translates to reduced chemical usage, resulting in long-term cost savings for them. The game-changer lies in educating clients about hidden expenses. For instance, a seemingly minor $30 gallon of chemicals used daily or every other day accumulates to hundreds of dollars monthly. Our objective isn't solely price reduction but highlighting the cost-effectiveness of our approach.

Imagine the impact of cleaning at 200-degree heat and 3,500 pounds per square inch—not just cleaning, but a sanitizing process driven by cutting-edge technology.
Utilizing hot water units allows us to automatically sanitize and sterilize surfaces without additional chemicals. The intense heat effectively eradicates bacteria, microorganisms, and viruses, ensuring a thoroughly clean and safe environment. Remember, it's not solely about what you do but how you communicate it. By educating and demonstrating these benefits, you stand out in the eyes of potential clients.


In fact, Ron's implementation of this strategy saved one company over a quarter of a million dollars! Remarkable success stories that underscore the power of expertise and education in our industry. It's beyond providing a service; it's about time and money savings, along with creating a safer environment for all. Picture this: saving over a million dollars for a multi-unit company by optimizing their parking lot maintenance. Our deep cleaning unveiled a damaging chemical that was deteriorating their sealcoat. By introducing a safer alternative, we transformed their approach and saved a quarter of a million dollars annually.

Another significant win involved a leading restaurant group, resulting in an average savings of $700 per unit per month. That's millions saved for a single client! Rather than critique or jest about their methods, our approach was to step in as experts. Highlighting the vast potential for savings through education in maintenance services. The power lies in showcasing how our services enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Education is pivotal! Demonstrating how professional services significantly cut cleaning time and chemical usage led to substantial savings, such as $700 per unit monthly in a large restaurant chain, totaling millions.


In conclusion, it's all about embodying professionalism, sharing expertise, and empowering our clients through education and innovative methods, ultimately fostering substantial savings while optimizing operations.
Through education and our professional services, we not only trim chemical costs but also curtail labor expenses. Clients witness the tangible outcomes—pristine sidewalks and remarkable cost savings. Let's persist in leading by example and collectively revolutionize the industry! It's not merely about rendering a service but showcasing the invaluable impact of professional services in cost reduction and overall value enhancement.

Mastering Commercial Sales Skills for
Pressure Washers & Various Cleaning Contractors


In commercial pressure washing and cleaning contracting,
success hinges on more than just skill with a power washer.
It requires mastering the art of proper salesmanship. Take this
into consideration especially when dealing with big-box companies.
In this comprehensive commercial sales class we'll explore
essential aspects of commercial sales skills. Start learning different
strategies, and drawing insights from real-world contractor experiences.


Vendor List Interview -
When seeking contracts with large corporations you
may be subjected to a rigorous vendor list
interview. This process typically involves questions aimed at determining
your affiliations and connections within the company. Be prepared
to answer inquiries about relatives or acquaintances working
for the organization. Honesty is crucial! Even distant
connections can raise concerns about insider trading.


FTC Involvement

Large publicly traded companies fall
under the purview of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
due to shareholder protection. Compliance with FTC rules
and regulations is essential to maintain the integrity of these
companies. Property managers oversee the maintenance contracts.
They are cautious not to jeopardize their positions
by engaging in any unethical practices.​

Contractor Experience
  1. Clarity in Proposals: A common pitfall in the pressure washing business is misunderstanding project scopes. Ensure your proposals align with the client's expectations. Be specific with areas to be cleaned. For example storefront sidewalks and concrete surfaces.
  2. Regular vs. Occasional Cleaning: Distinguish between regular and occasional cleaning needs. Storefronts often require monthly maintenance. While back areas may be cleaned quarterly, semi-annually, or as needed.
  3. Expanding Client Portfolios: Always be on the lookout for opportunities to expand your services to existing clients. If you discover additional properties managed by a client. Then submit separate estimates to address their unique needs.
  4. Demonstrations: The power of demos cannot be overstated. Conducting a compelling demonstration in front of property managers can secure contracts. Record high-quality demo videos and share them to win over clients

Starting Out: Begin your journey in the industry by offering 30-day maintenance proposals, emphasizing storefronts. As a professional, identify the areas that need regular cleaning. Then propose a monthly maintenance plan.

✨ The Secrets to Skyrocket Your Cleaning Business!
Mastering Commercial Sales Proposals, Pricing Strategies, & Unbeatable Follow-up Tactics!


Pricing Strategy

  1. Understanding Your Costs: Before setting your pricing, it's crucial to understand your production rate and expenses. You should have a clear grasp of your costs to provide your services.
  2. Margins: Determine your desired profit margin. In this class Ron is right by not providing prices for the class. Your margin is unique to your business, and he can't provide one-size-fits-all prices.
  3. Budget Match: Don't offer unnecessary discounts. Each customer should have a predetermined, price-coded rate. Your Price is your Price!
  4. Performance-based Pricing: Consider how much work you can realistically complete in an hour. If this aligns with your desired earnings, it's a suitable pricing model. Be realistic about what you can deliver.
  5. Maintenance Agreements: Offer maintenance agreements to clients. These can sometimes have better budgets than the margins you initially considered. Remember, if the budget is too low. That might indicate inadequate maintenance practices.
Follow-up
  1. The Importance of Follow-up: The number one mistake in sales is not following up. Regular and timely follow-up is key to successful sales.
  2. Ask for Follow-up Dates: When sending unsolicited proposals, always ask the recipient when you should follow up. This will help you gauge their interest and readiness to engage.
  3. Unsolicited Proposals: When someone tells you not to call them back, it's usually an indication of disinterest. In such cases, take the initiative and propose a follow-up date and time, like "Next Thursday at 10 AM."
  4. Frequency of Follow-up: The frequency of follow-up depends on the value of the potential customer. For high-value clients, more frequent follow-ups are warranted.
  5. Use of Unsolicited Bids: Don't hesitate to send unsolicited proposals via email and USPS. This proactive approach can lead to valuable opportunities.
  6. Demo Videos: Creating demo videos can be a powerful tool in your sales arsenal. Ensure you have permission from the company before posting these videos online.
  7. Tracking Demo Videos: Keep track of where you post your demo videos, but avoid prominently displaying the property name in the center.
Keep in mind that Ron's extensive industry experience is a valuable asset, and the fact that he has thrived in a 15-year collaboration with a contractor speaks volumes about the efficacy of these strategies. The key to successful commercial sales is understanding your costs, setting competitive pricing, and maintaining a proactive. Then respectfully follow-up approach with potential clients.
