One of the things Coronet delivers is a good first impression; it's essential you can trust the service, the management team and most importantly, the people who will be keeping your offices clean.

When a visitor comes to your premises first impressions really do count. Whether it is a customer or a supplier your business is being measured and evaluated from the moment they enter your premises. This can influence their decision as to whether they are going to do business with you.

In the current financial climate very few companies are in the position of being able to lose business for any reason whatsoever. Just imagine how you would feel if you lost a major new contract because your reception area is not in pristine condition ,maybe  disposable coffee cups have been left on the table or worse coffee stains .Is the carpet vacuumed to the correct standard or has the air freshener been refilled. 

All of the above may seem perfectly obvious to many companies however there are businesses that simply do not pay enough attention to the minor details and the suspicion for customers and suppliers is very much that if the small details are not taken care of the likelihood is that the larger details will not be managed correctly either.

Toilets are another area worthy of scrutiny for similar reasons. If your supplier or customer requires to use your washroom facilities it is most important the hygiene standards are up to scratch. This could mean inspecting the washroom up to three times a day dependant on the traffic it experiences. Within some fast food outlets the amount of visits can be as often as every hour. Should the volume be of sufficient number it may well be worthwhile installing a sign off board which confirms who last cleaned the facilities and at what time it was done. This is an excellent tool both for management to monitor the efficiency of their staff and also for your suppliers and customers to visually see you take the minor elements of your business extremely seriously.

With this in mind it is important to ensure you have a highly trained and qualified cleaning company contracted within your organisation .This may cost your business a little more however if you were to lose just one major contract as a result of sloppy practice then the additional cost pales into insignificance. Using the appropriate cleaning company should also give your organisation the added security by way of correct health and safety practice in addition to membership of a cleaning federation .This of course would have to be confirmed with your cleaning company however if they are a reputable company then appropriate staff training and qualifications will be present. One organisation many cleaning companies are members of is the British Institute Of Cleaning Science or BICS .

To summarise it is more important than you may have though to keep your offices in pristine condition, it may not win you business however it could certainly lose you valuable sales.
