Challenges and Opportunities Facing Cleaning Businesses

In recent years, the cleaning sector, like practically every other industry, has undergone significant change. These shifts could be caused by various variables, including the economy, the socioeconomic climate, the performance of other businesses, and so on. As the cleaning industry evolves, new issues emerge for cleaning service contractor providers and enterprises.

The ability to be flexible and adapt to changing demands is a challenge that all businesses confront. Great companies are those that can quickly reconfigure their operations to meet the needs of potential clients. In this article, we’ll look at a few significant areas that are emerging as new problems for these businesses.

Technology – Cleaning is a highly competitive industry, with numerous providers vying for the same potential client or company. Due to the saturation of the cleaning industry, businesses must now differentiate themselves in their market, which typically entails providing the most cutting-edge technology or innovations. However, the massive technical breakthroughs that have become part of everyday culture and existence are not limited to these fields. They also play a role in the cleaning business.

New equipment that operates better and requires less maintenance and charging time, and vacuum poles for heights with cameras are just a few of the latest cleaning technologies making their way into the market. Because of the widespread availability of new technology and equipment systems, contract cleaning service companies must be creative in how they clean and the methods they employ. In the most conceivable terms, people regard robots and new developments as cutting-edge and exciting. Consequently, they expect their service providers to have the most significant equipment available.

Costs – I’ve emphasized in earlier posts that owning a cleaning service company is less expensive than owning a typical corporation. However, funds are still required to purchase equipment, pay for business car fuel, and pay employees, amongst other things. So naturally, many business owners are trying to keep up with fast-rising product and commodity expenses.

Training – Assuring that your commercial cleaning business understands the necessity of training their employees, is one of the best methods to avoid service concerns. Your building services provider must have a systematic training program for a systematized cleaning process. This is to provide you and your facility with consistent, effective, and personalized service. Outstanding service necessitates excellent personnel, and exceptional employees necessitate efficient training. Therefore, your janitorial services firm must provide comprehensive training to its employees to constantly provide excellent service.

Suppose you’re looking for hospital cleaning, industrial cleaning, or school cleaning. In that case, your janitorial services provider should train their staff, for the specific type of institution. Any cleaning firm can tell you that their personnel are well-trained, but can they demonstrate it to you? The top cleaning services firms can explain their training procedure and even provide documentation showing their personnel have completed extensive training.

As with all challenges posed to us, it gives us opportunities to shine by overcoming these challenges and, in this case, implement new ways of working that could be beneficial for us in the long run. Here are some of the ways in which opportunities have arisen due to the challenges faced within the cleaning world today.

Reflection – We all start a business with a purpose in mind, but as the days pass, months pass, and months pass, we lose sight of our hopes and goals. So, if you consider expanding your cleaning business, take a step back and think about what your ideal cleaning business looks and feels like, as well as what it takes to get there. Your perfect scenario might include happy consumers, happy staff, and happy owners — the kind of setup that ensures everyone’s happiness and stability. But how do you turn this fantasy into a reality? It all starts with figuring out who your ideal consumer is.

Marketing – Many small businesses are so focused on the day-to-day operations of their firm that they rarely take the time to consider how marketing may help them develop. Because you’ve recently had more free time, you’ve had the opportunity to create a marketing strategy and get your brand out there. For example, you might employ a direct marketing campaign to attract prospects to your website so they can learn more about you. In addition, you could give a voucher to customers in the engagement phase as an incentive to hire you.

 

Disposable Income – The ordinary household in the United Kingdom has seen its disposable income rise in recent years. In 2018, average disposable income increased by 3.5 percent, while it increased by 1.4 percent in 2019. This rise in discretionary income, as projected, allowed households to spend more. After accounting for inflation, the average household’s weekly spending increased by 9.1 percent between 2012 and 2019, according to the ONS. This rise was spread over a variety of categories, including Household Goods and Services. In addition, external services like domestic cleaning have been more accessible. Thus it is no surprise that these sectors grew during this time.

Chief Investigator Paris London Set to Release His Book and Emphasize the Benefits of Hiring a Defense Investigator

Winning criminal cases in court start with surrounding yourself with a winning team. A defense attorney who is known to not shy away from a trial and cares about you and your case so much that s/he views your case as if they too were facing jail time if they lost the case. But the defense attorney alone does not make a team.

A defense attorney is only as good as the facts in the case that s/he has to work with. A defense investigator perfects your team by unraveling complicated sets of facts, finding star witnesses and unearthing evidence so your attorney is put in the best position possible to win your case.

Paris London has been the secret weapon for top defense attorneys and is the chief investigator for The Detective Agency. He has more than 30 years of experience as a defense investigator. Thankfully he has decided to put pen to paper and share his wisdom experience and golden nuggets of advice so that you know how your federal criminal case should be investigated. He has more than enough experience and knowledge in the field that he is set to share what he knows through his book, Defense Investigator London’s book entitled How to Investigate a Federal Case, a first of its kind/a blueprint for defendants, and criminal defense investigators.

Paris London makes plain the otherwise unwieldy federal criminal investigation process so well, that you will be out in the driving seat and have confidence in the outcome of your case. In a way that puts you in the driver’s seat. Paris London drives home the importance of getting an effective detective who will work for you. The police and prosecutors have their detectives, why shouldn’t you have yours?

Criminal Defense Investigator Paris London’s impetus for writing this book comes from witnessing people get incarcerated for crimes they did not commit. He noticed that these innocent people lost their case because they failed to hire an investigator who would uncover key facts helpful to their case.

“The prosecuting attorney has the police investigating for them,” London explains.

“I want defendants to realize that the police will not be investigating every little thing, so it falls on the defense attorney and his investigatory team to look into the salient facts that get clients favorable results.”

The upcoming book will be sharing tips and advice that London has gathered in his 30 year career as a criminal defense investigator. He states,

“Often, I am the man behind the man. Lawyers can’t always investigate every little thing. So it falls on my team and me to look into the things that can help clients get favorable results.” Paris London’s book will also be shedding light on the need to investigate law enforcement investigations.

London further explains, 

“We never really know for sure what we’re going to find. It can be the smallest thing that ends up helping the client,” London is not afraid to review and research mounds of evidence and leads to get to the nugget you need to win your case, and walk out of the courtroom as a free man or woman, even when you thought the prosecutor had too strong a case against you.

One of the pivotal moments in London’s book occurs where he explains in great detail what to do when a confidential informant is involved in your case.

London also provides an extensive checklist that lays out what a proper investigation should look like. .

State Racketeering instead of Business Support or Why People Live Badly in Post-Soviet Countries

Russian government support for business looks impressive, but only on paper. Judging by the report of the Ministry of Economic Development, this organization is for entrepreneurs and mothers, fathers, and older brothers. Judge for yourself; the website of the government agency responsible for business development is replete with iconography about proposals and achievements, like medals of merit. But is the state really so effective in helping business? Most of the state support measures are preferential bank loans, which are practically not available in practice. Guarantees, pledges, conciliation documents—all this puts a reliable barrier on the way to obtaining funds for business development. What can we say about the start of such a thing? Even if an entrepreneur is a genius with ideas ahead of time, he will never get a loan due to the lack of collateral resources.

The above is a small part of the problem. Let them not help, as long as they do not interfere—you hear such words more and more often from businessmen of different levels. However, corruption has already eaten away the body of the state so much, reaching the depths of the brain that officials are increasingly acting contrary to common sense and state interests. Develop your economy and collect more taxes! But no, they only interfere, putting their personal interests and the well-being of higher authorities above statehood. Thus, the concept of the state is sharply narrowed down to the size of a small group of high-ranking officials. It will not be a surprise if soon some king, appointed by the people by the constitution to look after their interests, declares in the manner of Louis XIV—”The state is me!” Is this why practically all post-Soviet countries live poorly? And not to drag the mentality of individual peoples here, because that is formed by prosperity.

Such uncompromising statements do not appear out of nowhere. There are many outrageous cases of business destruction, entrepreneurs who tried to play honestly. However, the story of Ilgar Hajiyev is special. If only because the dull face of the predator was shown to him by the authorities of the two countries.

Already in 2008, Hajiyev’s Azerbaijani company was estimated at $ 4 billion. The success did not go unnoticed by the authorities of this country. Instead of gratitude for the contribution to the Azerbaijani economy, pressure began from all sides, up to open threats. Ilgar had to give 51% of his company to the holding of the wife of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and 24% of the company of the family of the country’s prosecutor general. Along with this, $100 million was transferred to the presidential security service.

Apparently satisfied with such fabulous sums, the Azerbaijani authorities generously allowed Hajiyev to leave the country. He and his family moved to Moscow, and soon became a citizen of our state. After some time, it turned out that in relations between big business and the state, Russia differs from Azerbaijan only in the presence of additional intermediaries.

Representatives of Sergei Sobyanin and relatives of the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov began to actively interfere in the business of Ilgar Hajiyev. So far, the pressure has been carried out through possible permits and agreements, which miraculously passed off as large bribes. However, the main character, thus an additional mediator, was Hajiyev’s compatriot, God Nisanov (owner of the Kievskaya Ploshchad GC and the capital’s covered markets – Sadovod, Evropeyskiy). Nisanov soon dotted the i’s, announcing the interest of the aforementioned Russian officials, first in constant deductions for the “roof,” and then the desire to “acquire” Hajiyev’s successful development business. The conditions were announced to the entrepreneur: 12% of the profit or be destroyed in every sense of the word. In support of the weight of this statement, Nisanov appeared, accompanied by strong guys, who, without embarrassment, demonstrated their weapons. Soon there was a classic raider seizure of Hajiyev’s company SDI Group. The law enforcement bodies, to which Ilgar immediately turned, as usual, withdrew and did not prevent the powers that be from carrying out illegal actions. Even an open letter to President Putin himself did not help. The lowest indulgence did not happen, on the contrary, new criminal cases appeared against Hajiyev.

It is sad to attribute the expression “The people have the government they deserve” to our own account. But from this whole story, one conclusion becomes absolutely clear—neither Azerbaijan nor Russia will live better as long as we allow such shameless corrupt officials to rule us.

How Watkins-Conti Products Is Working to Help Millions of Women Live Life to the Fullest

Pictured is Allison Conti, Founder and CEO of Watkins-Conti Products, Inc. Photo provided by Trinity Ridge Photography.

For most of history, women’s pelvic health concerns have been considered taboo.  Sadly,  the shame surrounding discussions about the pelvic floor and vaginal health still persist today and a lack of awareness of these concerns have led to the absence of meaningful solutions. Watkins-Conti Products, Inc. is on a mission to change the stigma by opening up the dialogue and creating a groundbreaking solution for a particular pelvic health condition that affects one in three women globally, urinary incontinence.

Allison Watkins-Conti, the founder and CEO of Watkins-Conti Products, Inc. recalls being raised in an entrepreneurial environment where she witnessed the creation and formation of several sustainable businesses. Throughout the course of her career, Allison has developed a reputation as a competent leader, reliable advisor, and inspiring speaker.

Owing to the environment she was raised in, the career she pursued, and her personal experiences, Allison Watkins-Conti is dedicated to the innovation and development of affordable, practical solutions for common life-altering difficulties that women face. In 2015, she conceived the solution to involuntary urine leakage, a medical issue that affects an estimated one in three women worldwide. 

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the unintentional release of urine when physical movement or activity puts pressure or stress on the bladder, causing a person to leak. This condition affects women more than men. Due to the nature of this condition, people afflicted with it tend to isolate themselves out of embarrassment. When urine leaks after coughing, laughing, sneezing, running, or heavy lifting, it hurts a person’s quality of life. 

To help women with this condition lead fuller lives, Watkins-Conti Products is on a mission to offer Yōni.Fit as a solution. Designed, engineered, and patented by Allison Watkins-Conti, Yōni.Fit is a non-surgical, intravaginal device made of medical-grade silicone. It is designed to work by providing an appropriate amount of pressure at the bladder neck while counteracting pelvic organ prolapse. 

Yōni.Fit is currently undergoing clinical trials for the FDA approval process. The current study is being led by Erik Sokol, MD, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. This multi-site trial is also being conducted at NYU Langone Medical Center in Manhattan and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. We are excited to reach this pivotal stage in the development of Yōni.Fit® and address this debilitating problem that affects millions of women worldwide with an easy-to-use, everyday solution,” Founder Allison Conti said. “Our hope is that it will improve millions of women’s lives. I’m so thankful to collaborate with these amazing institutions, and the many participants in our clinical trials around the country, who will be among the first to experience the benefits of this device that has changed my own life.”

Watkins-Conti Products has secured a considerable amount of investment to fund this venture. The company has also created a quality management system, contracted a manufacturing facility, conducted a feasibility study validating efficacy, conducted required engineering testing and biocompatibility testing and employs some of the top industry leaders in the United States. Among their team are experienced business leaders and doctors who are experts in urology, gynecology, and urogynecology.

By providing a simple yet groundbreaking solution, Watkins-Conti Products aims to help the millions of women who suffer from SUI. Yōni.Fit is designed in an ecologically responsible way and offers a clean and easily accessible product that can improve a person’s quality of life.

Watkins-Conti Products has also been recognized. The company has been awarded the Most Promising Venture award at the 2021 Oklahoma Venture Forum and was named one of the Top Ten Nephrology and Urology Companies MedTech Outlook.

How Ricky Mendez Is Giving Back To Kids In A New Way In 2022

Ricky Mendez is not your everyday motivational speaker – in-fact, he’s not a motivational speaker at all. The founder of MPower Prosperity – an organization that focuses on mindset and prosperity planning, insists he’s an implementation speaker. 

“Whenever I’m doing a talk, I ask that they implement that day,” he says sitting in his Lower Manhattan suite – photos of his mentors adorning the walls of his study. “I share a lot of exercises that take a few seconds to do, but neurochemically that person changes, biologically that person changes, and when they get a little taste of it, it becomes addictive because it makes us feel good.” 

What the charismatic and energetic Mendez credits for his quantum shift from the public speaking sphere, to founding MPower Prosperity was a chance encounter with an audience member at a wellness event in Southern California. “A woman confided in me that what I gave her to implement changed her life so I quit my job. I knew at that point that I needed a corporation,” he laughs. But there was method to the madness as Mendez’ drive to utilize the power of influence brought him success in the form of a billion-dollar company – albeit, an inconsistent one. 

It wasn’t until he confided in one of the mentors he credits with his success – that he began to savor the fruits of his work. “When we had my offices in Southern California we’d dominate one month and suck the next, and so the first mentor outside of my family was a guy named Weldon Long and he told me I was missing the most important thing – mindset and prosperity planning. Since that day we exploded.”  

However, the shift from – as Mendez coins it, “working in corporate America,” to helping others attract greatness into their lives wasn’t based around focusing on the monetary aspect but the ability to shift perspective to feel empowered. This link between Mendez’ methodology to the success of others is the mastery of directing clients’ minds toward the life they desire using mind-hack methods in order to condition the brain to change their perspective. For example, his ‘Gratitude Poem,’ a collective of messages transcending the human mind to express appreciation for uncontrollable – sometimes unpleasant events.

He envisions a metaphorical flight from L.A. to New York with a screaming baby, and states his gratitude for the noise being made because it means he can hear. “We complicate simplicity all the time. Our brains cannot be grateful and fearful at the same time; therefore, we have to choose one. How good am I at converting that negative energy to positive – gratitude.” The story of Viktor Frankl’s horrific experience in the Auschwitz camps give perspective to Mendez’ philosophy. Frankl’s best-selling Man’s Search for Meaning details the time spent in the Nazi concentration camps where he concluded that life never ceases to have meaning – even in suffering and death. “When I’m having a tough time, I’ll say to myself [is this a Viktor Frankl problem]?” 

Along with gratitude, Mendez states that the secret to living is giving. “I believe giving and love is intertwined; the most important relationship is with ourselves and when we give to ourselves – that self love, it’s the most powerful force.” 

Despite not having any children of his own, Mendez’ desire to empower future generations has resulted in a plethora of young mentors being the inspiration behind the idea for a children’s book, which is slated for publication in 2022. “Children are eternal optimists,” he wisely points out. “They have yet to be conditioned by the fear of their limitations.” The yet-to-be titled book revolves around the Australian animal the Quokka – which has earned the reputation of being “the world’s happiest animals.” “The book is all in rhyme, while I’m a huge proponent of women’s empowerment. The mentor in the book is a woman, and she teaches the Quokka (named Grateful Grayson) how to change a certain perspective to create self-empowerment.” 

The term “for purpose” is a business model that Mendez envisions taking-off over the next few years, and one he plans to use upon the release of his children’s book. The idea behind it is to create for the purpose of a better society. For Mendez, every time someone buys a copy of his book, one gets donated to an orphanage. He credits Cole Hatter, founder of Thrive – a Las Vegas-based forum for world-renowned entrepreneurs, as the inspiration behind the idea. Hatter is one of many impactful guides who have helped shape Mendez’ philosophy of living by your message – a mantra he urges society to embrace. 

Ricky Mendez mentorship revolves around gratitude and generosity, though it’s power that is the biggest human obstacle. “We live in a world that is conditioned by fear and limitations, and practicality. We need to understand that we’re unbelievably powerful.” 

Ricky Mendez is the founder of MPower Prosperity who mentors business owners to increase revenue while building a culture and foundation that can support explosive growth.

Real Estate Investing Reinvented: How Trelly Is Transforming the Industry

The real estate investment world is on the precipice of a major upgrade. And it couldn’t come soon enough.

Up until recently, the majority of investors would rely on old standbys such as direct mail, cold calls, yard signs, local meetups, and Facebook groups to identify the right properties to purchase for resale. Although these methods have merit, they’re also extremely inefficient and time-consuming,  increasing the investors’ costs and requiring extra manpower. For investors wanting to take their businesses to the next level, such downsides become even more problematic.

Josh DeShong, a real estate investing veteran passionate about the business, knew the system had to change.

“These channels are fragmented,” says DeShong, “Worse yet, they’re not cost-effective to scale. Direct mail is wasteful and expensive. Cold calling is even worse. You can find some real gems in Facebook real estate investing groups, but it’s completely hit or miss. And there’s no way to efficiently monitor multiple groups once you get to a certain scale without increasing the size and cost of your workforce dramatically.”

For this reason, DeShong set out to develop Trelly, a software platform that is now transforming the real estate investment industry from low to high tech. With Trelly, the acquisition and disposition process is now totally seamless.

Trelly works as a double-sided real estate marketplace that allows users to quickly purchase and sell properties. Everyone on the platform is there for the same reason, at the same time. It’s strictly B2B, so the general public is not involved.

For example, investors may be looking for properties that fit their “buy box.” With Trelly, the investor can immediately connect with sellers who have properties that match their requirements, from price to location and condition. It eliminates the need to constantly be on the lookout for precisely those deals. Rather than dedicating hours trying to find the right properties, investors simply input their buying criteria. When another user uploads a property that matches the investor’s specifications, they will be notified and the transaction can take place.

Because efficiencies are embedded into the platform, investors are able to expedite the transaction process, from start to finish. It’s similar to the MLS system, but exclusively for real estate investors instead of Realtors. In fact, since Realtors aren’t involved, the standard six percent commission is eliminated. In fact, the company currently plans to provide the platform completely free to all users through at least the end of 2020.

After working as both a Realtor and an investor, DeShong is well-versed in all aspects of the business.

As an investor, he was buying and selling hundreds of investment properties each year. As a Realtor, he was conducting even more transactions for clients.

He knows how challenging and labor-intensive the involved tasks can be, and how they can detract from life outside of work, particularly in the early stages of an investor’s career. DeShong was convinced it didn’t have to be this way, so made it his mission to streamline the procedures with the most advanced, user-friendly technology.

“Increasing your income is always the first step because it gives you more stability and security,” says DeShong. “But I’ve found that most people, once they’ve achieved that, want to do more to help others. They want to create a better life for their employees. They want to contribute to their communities and donate to charities. I want to empower more investors to do that.”

For investors who are eager to take their business from small to huge, Trelly is especially attractive. “It’s all about maximizing your time and results,” says DeShong. “Some investors only want to do a little investing on the side and they don’t care how efficient they are because they aren’t putting in a ton of time. But other investors want to maximize efficiency because they want to scale their business. These are the investors who will get the most out of Trelly.”

Revolutionizing the real estate industry with technology was important to DeShong. Until now, the industry was about ten years behind many others, he says, a problem that was exacerbating existing inefficiencies. Clearly, an overhaul was overdue.

“I’m confident Trelly will solve that problem for investors,” says DeShong. “The time saved can be used to find more deals and scale their business. In doing so, Trelly will help them to scale their businesses. But more importantly, it will also empower them to add value to their teams and communities. It’s a ripple effect.”

The benefits of increasing productivity are obvious and the impact can be profound. The less time investors dedicate to locating properties and the less money they spend on fees, the more they can market their business and bring on more staff. It opens up opportunities for the investor to hire contractors for renovations, pay for landscaping, deal with pest control issues, and upgrade security systems.

After a long and successful career in the industry, DeShong is certain that the real estate industry is ripe for change. Investors are hungry for a tool that will make their lives easier and create higher profits.

“When we help a real estate investor scale, we help so many other people they come in contact with,” says DeShong. “I’m excited about what Trelly can do for investors, but I’m even more excited about how that will impact their families, teams, and communities.”
