Learn the 4 Secrets to Growing Your Industrial Cleaning Business

An industrial cleaning business can be a cash cow even in economic downturns but first you have to know how to grow that business. If you’re happy with where you’re at but would like to see some growth, then you’ll love these four secrets to growing your industrial cleaning business.

  1. Market to local professionals
  2. It wasn’t long ago that marketing to local professionals was where most industrial cleaning companies got the majority of their work from. This may not be true in today’s market but it’s still an important slice of the pie. Talk to local insurance adjusters, property managers, real estate agents, and plumbers to try and work up some leads.

  3. Provide full-service services
  4. Many clients want a single company to work with. They want an industrial cleaning company who can come in and clean up after a fire or after water damage, but they also want a company that can handle repairing and rebuilding. You may consider teaming up with a contractor and providing full-service a to z services. You can also simply take the lead and subtract each of the skills to construction services.

    To figure out it if this makes sense for you, take your current mitigation revenue and multiply it by three. That’s about what your likely revenue would be if you were also generating work for construction services – and that’s without increasing your customer base at all.

  5. Make sure you have the right tools
  6. It’s no secret or surprise that the quicker you get a job done, the better your return is. In order to maximize your profits you need to ensure that you have tools that will help you get the job done as quickly as you can while also maintaining the high quality your clients insist on. At Geyser Equipment, we offer both cold pressure washers and hot pressure washers that can get the job done right. There are also accessories that can help you get the job done 150% faster than using a hand wand. Call us at 951-509-9269 to learn more.

  7. Consider becoming a program contractor
  8. This is a huge opportunity that not enough companies are taking advantage of. You get direct assignments on which you don’t have to compete or even bid. You get payment sent directly to you. Every year, more and more claims are, as they say “sent through TPA channels.” The only way you’re going to get these is if they’re assigned to you. There are many different types of jobs, including water mitigation, large loss, fire clean up services, rebuilding and more. Of course, you have to pay your fee, which is typically about 5% for each job.

None of these tips are right for every business. For example, you could have no interest in offering full services. Perhaps you just updated your pressure washer machines. Regardless, everyone should find one of these tips helpful. At Geyser Equipment we are here to help ensure you have all the power washing equipment you need.
