Winning the Contract Means Nothing if You Lose Money Servicing It
Commercial cleaning contracts are often recurring commitments. A pricing mistake can follow your business for months or years.
Underbidding
Price too low and your labor, supplies, and overhead can consume the money you expected to make.
Overbidding
Price without understanding your costs and you may lose opportunities you could have priced competitively.
Ignoring Your Margin
Revenue alone doesn't tell you whether an account is profitable. Your estimated costs and margin matter.
Your Bid Is Just the Beginning
Once you've built your estimate, the next step is presenting it professionally and keeping the sales opportunity organized.
1. Build Your Bid
2. Create Your Proposal
3. Track the Opportunity
