Post Pandemic Picking Franchise You Trust

The
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way we view cleaning. With
the economy facing strain and record-shattering numbers of unemployed, now is
a time of uncertainty and fear. 

Most of the people that make up our society have never
experienced a pandemic, let alone anything like the one we are in. For those
that are financially worried or simply cautious towards embarking on
franchise ownership, there is a silver lining. CMMonline
put
it into perspective, “Commercial cleaning businesses have been, and continue
to be, vital in the fight against SARS-CoV-2.” 

Stratus Building Solutions is an award-winning
janitorial franchise opportunity, providing environmentally friendly
commercial cleaning services driven by entrepreneurial, small-business
owners, and regional support centers.

If you’re looking to own a commercial cleaning
franchise, now is a great time to invest. Not only is the industry booming,
but the work cleaning businesses are doing now is essential. Here are some of
the ways Stratus Building Solutions was proactive in rolling out a
back-to-work plan for businesses amidst the
pandemic:

Supporting
Our
Franchisees

When the pandemic first started, business plans and
protocols immediately had to be shifted. The CDC was changing guidelines as
they gained more information on the virus, which means we had to adapt to new
rules at any moment.

Our franchisees were constantly making sacrifices to
their normal routines and implementing changes within their business
operations. We wanted to make sure that although they were doing their jobs
well, they were
genuinely
doing
well in other areas of life. Management reached out to franchisees to talk
about any hardships or troubles they were having amidst the global crisis and
discussed ways in which we could help. 

Our business would be nothing without our dedicated,
passionate, and determined franchisees. They are the leaders that led Stratus
Building Solutions into a new era and way of
cleaning.

Taking
Advantage of New Products and
Protocols

As the CDC announced how to disinfect surfaces and
what to do for both residential and office spaces, the cleaning business
needed to be even
more
clean.
Overnight, we were called to be the disinfecting
services partner
for offices and buildings of all types. Our brand made sure we were using the
best and strongest disinfecting products while making sure our franchisees
knew exactly how to use them.

Although most people were working from home at the
beginning of the pandemic, our services were in high-demand when people
started going back into their offices. Every surface, private and common
space, communal lounge or bathroom, and material had to be sanitized
according to CDC guidelines. By having an open line of communication with our
franchisees on how to enact this process and giving them the cleaning
supplies they needed to carry out their services, we were creating clean and
trusted workspaces for our loyal customers. 

Giving
Customers the Information and Assurance They
Need

As said earlier, these times have truly made people
feel skeptical or uncertain. We would be nowhere without our customers.
Interacting with loyal customers from before the pandemic
and
new
customers that sought our brand’s cleaning services led to transparent and
reassuring conversations. 

When our customers were able to hear exactly how we
carried out our cleaning business and sanitization of their space, trust was
heightened on both ends. Giving assurance to customers is not hard when you
are able to keep a strong line of communication on both
ends.

Commercial cleaning franchises have always been key
players in the franchise industry, but are needed now more than ever. If
you’re looking to become a franchise owner and need reassurance that you’ll
have a dedicated team, corporate leadership, and trusted customers, along
with guidelines on how to operate your business, then Stratus Building
Solutions would love to speak
with you.
