A common mistake is to sell "METHOD" when we attempt to sell a new cleaning account our services. In this EncapBlog video I'll share with you why it's just plain dumb to get hung up in the loop of selling "method". When it comes to commercial carpet cleaning marketing, your customer is primarily interested in results. They want CLEAN CARPET, that's all. This EncapBlog video discusses the way to address questions that come up regarding method and how to increase your sales using a slightly varied approach. I hope this is helpful to you, and if I can help you in any way give me a shout at www.Excellent-Supply.com 1-800-330-1888.
Improving Your "Bedside Manner"
Here's a new EncapBlog video. It talks about the importance of doing a Carpet Inspection during the sales interview with your prospect. Just like a good doctor asks questions, professional carpet cleaners ask questions too. Using good questions opens up a dialogue with the prospect and helps you to convey the fact that you're a "professional" who is prepared to solve their problems for them. Take a look at the video - I hope you like it.
The importance of maintaining confidence when you speak with prospective clients
In this video I discuss the importance of maintaining confidence when you're selling. It is easy to send your confidence into a tailspin when you meet rejection in selling. But it is really important to maintain a grip on your confidence. I will share with you a few tricks I've learned that help me when I'm out speaking with prospective clients. I hope it will be helpful to you!
How To Price Commercial Carpet Cleaning Jobs
A very common question that we get at Excellent Supply is "how do you price commercial jobs"? Well there is no hard and fast rule on pricing. In my years of cleaning commercial carpet, I've found that using a sliding scale approach to pricing seems to work best. This installment of the EncapBlog gives a quick overview of the approach that we have taken in our commercial carpet cleaning business. Hopefully this information will be helpful to you.
Know when to fold 'em (aka dealing with "crazy" customers)
This week I was talking with one of our customers. He was knee deep in a problem situation with one of his customers. He had failed to fully satisfy his customer. And now nothing he could do was going to make her happy. It was a losing venture at this point. Perhaps you've been in a situation like that at some point in your business. This EncapBlog video addresses how you can possibly avoid crazy situations like this. I hope you enjoy it.
Getting Past The Gatekeeper
In this installment of the EncapBlog video we discuss HOW TO GET PAST THE GATEKEEPER. This is probably one of the biggest challenges for most of us to handle. The Gatekeeper is the person in the business whose purpose in life is to run interference and keep you from getting through to the person you need to speak with.
So how do we get past the Gatekeeper? How do we first of all find out whop the right person in the organization is? How we get the chance to speak with the Prospect (who in fact is GOLD to our companies growth). Well I've learned a trick that works most of the time. And in this short clip I will let you know how it works. I hope this information will help you get in front of the decision makers who can help you grow your commercial business.

New Video Feature to the EncapBlog
We are putting together a cool new feature here (at least I think it will be cool). It's going to be a regular feature of YouTube videos relating to commercial carpet care. I'm planning to produce these short clips every week or so. Please be sure to check back often to see what's been recorded. There will be new content added all the time. We're planning to cover everything from A-Z for commercial carpet care - marketing, management, cleaning techniques, product spotlights, and general advice for commercial carpet care. We talk to commercial carpet cleaners everyday here at Excellent Supply, and we field a lot of their questions - so we're planning to tailor this material to fit the concerns of the typical commercial cleaner. I think the information we'll consider here will be useful to everyone. Go ahead and check out our introductory clip below. And then be sure to check back next week for a crash course on getting past the receptionist. And please be sure to spread the word too. I hope you like it!
