Well, we have a problem. We’ve been performing our service for some large companies; companies who have more than one location, with offices in different cities. A few of them have expressed that they want us to clean their equipment. Some are as close as Edmonton, Alberta and Vancouver, BC. We have even had requests from places as far as New York and Florida…
The challenge? How do we make it feasible to take a 3-hour trip to Edmonton or a five hour flight to New York to do the work? Right now we’re busy in our own area. Leaving town to do work in another city and neglecting our clients in Calgary certainly does not make sense.
But…
What if we could set up people in other cities who do what we do? We could pass work along if the situation arose.
It is possible that the work in these other areas may have dried up by now. The interest by the companies may have waned.
One thing we are certain of is that the problem has definitely not gone away. Since we have virtually no competition, chances are the equipment is even dirtier than when we originally spoke to these prospective clients.
One person can clean from $300.00 to $500.00 in revenue in a day by him or herself.
Right now, there isn’t much of a “demand” for this service. Why? Most people have never heard of such a service. Even though it has had a presence since 1990’s in Canada, people still look in amazement when you tell them about cleaning computers and electronic equipment. How long did the Internet stay dormant before it was released to the public? Remember when you had never heard of the Internet? How about texting? I never thought I would use Google to find a plumber… but I sure do now. The world is changing and because of all this technology, we are on the verge of an exploding industry – and it is so simple…
…and this is your chance to get in on the ground floor.
The next time you go into a business look at their computer keyboards. See how dirty they are? They’re absolutely atrocious because no one is looking after them. Some people try to tell me that companies can just clean their own equipment…of course they do… and employees take out their own garbage… ummm no – not going to happen! Heck – they don’t even wash their own coffee cups!
“Some companies clean their own equipment…
…and some executives take out their own garbage.
…Yeah right!
The truth is most people are smart enough to leave their electronic equipment to a professional. In fact, they’re actually afraid of damaging their equipment, and that’s why they won’t clean it themselves. If they do clean their computer, it’s probably a light wipe down – kind of like the difference between a spit bath and a shower.
One of our clients had declined having their equipment cleaned. A month later, out contact called our office and asked when we could go I to clean their telephones. I asked her why the change and she said that two of their employees had tried to clean their own phones – and ruined them. Replacing those phones cost about the same as having On-Site Computer Cleaning Services come in to clean all their phones… we eventually got back the keyboard and laptops. The only year we have missed since is the year they bought a new phone system…
We have a system…
The unique system we use makes the equipment look like brand new in a very short period of time. (It’s how quickly we can do it that makes this business so lucrative.) And yes, not everyone will purchase this service that clearly needs it. But then, not everyone eats healthy food either.
Service contracts on equipment provide an excellent opportunity to do business. One telephone company we ran into promises their clients they will have someone go out and clean the phones they sold them once a year, as part of their service contract. Obviously, they found this was a hassle because they had to hire a person just to clean the phones. They were more than willing to hire us to perform this for them because they really just want to sell phones, not clean them.
Now, one of their clients has 200 telephones, and you can bet that beside almost every one of those phones is a computer. The telephone company pays us to clean the phones and we get the rest of the business on our own. It’s almost like a paid introduction. We figure it will be a $5,000.00 job when we’re finished.
People are just realizing their customers actually notice their dirty locations. If they don’t notice it now, with all the publicity about dirt and bacteria on electronic equipment in shows like CBC’s Venture, CBS News, 20/20 and Sixty Minutes, not to mention almost every news show, newspaper, and all the information on the internet from people like Dr. Gerberpeople are becoming more and more aware of the filth they are working in unnecessarily! Look at the cash registers in your local grocery store!!
…and you are buying your food there!!
These corporations spend all this money on their marble floors, beautiful furniture; they hang nice pictures on the wall; invest a fortune in all the latest computers and other equipment. Do they just leave it?
No! They clean their floors, shampoo their carpets, clean their blinds, scrub the washrooms and the windows but let me see…
“they leave their computers and electronic equipment untouched, dirty…
…the most expensive equipment they own!?!”
It’s ludicrous when you think about it. How could they just leave it?
