I recently posted this under the general business forum under the topic of referral letters, recommendations a few days ago. Though it might be better here in this forum. I have copied and pasted below.
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.
