    Mike from Texas, asked on another post if we would share what we learned at our seminar. One thing I learned from my people is: We do not have many or any “call them what you like” letters from operators who have cleaned, Federal Gov. buildings, State Gov. buildings, County Gov. buildings or any national chains, Hotels, Auto showrooms, etc. etc.
    One of my operators said I clean for the county sheriff’s office, another one said I clean for Marriott chain. 3-operators have called me since the seminar and asked why we do not have a national letter system telling all of us the national customers we now clean for.
    I’m not sure this can be done on a state level, so I’m going to throw out an idea and hope, if you like the general concept please give us your idea to make this work.
    My Idea: Have corporate start a campagin that will last for 6-months. The person who gets and sends in the most, Recommendation / Testimonial / Reference letters “” from National chains, Gov. buildings, Etc. will win a $1,000.00. This would be a cheap price to pay, to help everyone get work from those companies. P.S. I also questioned my operator, if you are doing county sheriff’s office and they are happy, why are you not cleaning the county building dept. building, the county court house, The county registrar building, etc. etc.

    I have cleaned for our local sherrifs office for two years now, they are supposed to do it in house (multi-functional building) but It doesn’t get done when they want it done futhermore when they do finaly get around to doing it they make it look worse. I figure one day the commisioners might look at the numbers and sub it out.

    If you look at my packet on http://www.heavensbestads.com. There are a couple of letters that may help. One from a hotel owner with the following hotels listed:
    Executive Inn–4 of them, one of them recently changed to a Super 8 ( I need to update that), Best Western, Hampton Inn and Suites

    Other letters: Reddy Ice, Ramada Limited, Las Misiones Apts (not a chain but may help)

    Other clients I am working on getting letters from that we currently clean:

    Halliburton
    Days Inn
    Holiday Inn
    IHOP
    Electronics Boutique
    Motel 6
    Naturalizer
    Keller Williams Realty
    Office Depot
    Pump 24 Hr Gym
    Shoe Carnival
    Man’s Shop
    University of Texas Pan American
    Verizon
    Hearthstone Inn and Suites
    Wingate Inn

    I have request in from all of these places. Getting them can be tough sometimes because they drag their feet. I understand they are busy though. I patiently wait and ask when we clean. Some of these people, believe it or not, don’t know how to write a letter of recommendation. I always give them a sample of the ones I have already. I simply tell they can E-mail it or I sometimes will E-mail them a copy. Stay on them. As they come in, I will E-mail or post a link to them. I think it’s a great idea. Take some of mine from packets when doing your commercial PR. I know it has our names on them. But they can simply call and ask how the system works or how it worked for them. Hope this helps. God Bless.
