Small business common sense

-

In case you may be a small business in NH... Let's say 10 million in net a year I hope you do this...  By "this" I mean, do not post you are #1,2,3 or whatever number compared to your competitors unless you have citable sources.  Any business can say they are #1 in this and that or whatever they do. In fact stating your bussiness is number 1 in (whatever field it is you or your business does or provides) may make them more money because of it but it is unethical to promote your business in that manor without citing where it came from.  Places like Pinteresr and Home Advisor don't do that so cite another source if that's the source you try to use.  A few years ago before I started this business I worked for such a firm and the only awards they give are generalized based on comments.  They never ranked businesses even in NH.  At the end of the day anyone ... For eaxample - A Lawyer, Dentist, Plumber, Oil Company etc. can say they are the #1 business in that industry but they dont.  The reason is no such listing exist at least in NH and they (Those business owners) are not morons.  Hopefully, businesses that do and or continue this practice stop.  Are we not ethical/honest?  At Titan we are.  We may not be #1 in cleaning (based on an advertisement) but we are happy to provide a great service and price for that service.

The Best Way To Grow A Small Business

People starting a small business are told that they need to be passionate about what they do and be willing to work hard to succeed.  be willing to work long hours...  That's 50% true but at what point to small business owners decide enough is enough?  To be successful means to be willing to accomplish your goal no matter what.   You need to look around at your competition and other small businesses not related to yours and take notes.  You should note what seems to be working well, what doesn't work well and how they can improve.  Answer those questions and consistently follow your answers to those questions and you will have the other 50% you need to be successful.  Certainly a little start up cash doesn't hurt either. How many times will you walk by a store that has new businesses it every other year?  The worst thing is when they are basically the same business that already failed.  You must be passionate about what you do because when the hard work starts

Best ways to clean office spaces and commercial buildings

-
This is the best time of year to review your businesses existing and potentially new cleaning needs. Office moral can be boosted when certain trouble areas are tended to more frequently.  We are often asked to bid on cleaning offices bathrooms, kitchen areas, light dust and vacuum. Usually every office wants the same things cleaned.  A suggestion we have would be to send an email to employees asking what they may like done in addition to what is already being cleaned.  Also, what do they notice doesn't get cleaned or keeps getting missed by the current cleaning company.  This email can then be used to address your current cleaning company on what they can do better and potentially what they could add additionally when they come to clean.  Typically vacuuming under the desk is often on the list of employee complaints but you may be surprised what else shows up.  Employees that enjoy coffee may enjoy having a really clean and organized coffee areas.  Others may enjoy a better dus

Cleaning Mirrors and Light Bulbs

-
Let's start with mirrors.  It seems as though mirrors over sinks can have but not limited to hair, tooth paste, lipstick, oil, dust and other things.  I have been using a Rubbermaid microfiber glass cleaning cloth and just a small amount of Windex to clean all this and it works great.  The cloth leaves no streakes or lint and it can be washed about 300 times.  This works on Windows as well but I'll leave that topic alone for now.  With regards to cleaning light bulbs, the key is to clean them cold so shut them off first.  The hardest lightbulbs to clean are the new LED lights so this post is in regards to cleaning them. They don't wipe clean cold or hot.  The key is to unscrew them and use a small amount of goo-off or goo-gone.  Use a super small amount and use the glass microfiber towel to wipe it clean.  All the hair and lint will just wipe off.  If you use a dry cloth or even water the LED bulbs rubber like surface will prevent it from being cleaned.
