Businesses With These Valuable Ideas

CPI is passing along to you thirty-one years experience in the building service contracting industry for a fraction of what it would cost you to buy an existing cleaning maintenance business.

Studies have shown that most business owners need help with management and marketing. 

They simply start their businesses from a good idea and then, through trial and error, succeed or fail depending upon how many things they do right and how many things they do wrong. 

Business owners who seek professional advice for planning and developing their businesses have a much higher rate of success and a much higher level of profit than owners who do not. 

In other words, you need professional mentoring from someone who has already done it and who has helped hundreds or thousands of other companies start and grow their own businesses.

Building Service Contracting
Our Best Selling Manual

The following letter was written less than two months after this lady and her husband received their hardbound copy of BUILDING SERVICE CONTRACTING on June 12, 2000.  They wrote this letter on August 7, 2000:

"My husband and I would like to thank you for your part in making our present entrepreneurial venture a great success.  We have found your manual detailing step-by-step instructions on how to start a cleaning business and making it work an invaluable and user-friendly resource as our cleaning business continues to grow.  I need to mention that this business is not the first that my husband and I have attempted.  We had a previous business that did not succeed.  While we were very dedicated, we lacked prerequisite knowledge essential to making this type of business venture thrive.  Since obtaining your manual, all of this has changed.  Your clear and logical guidance has helped us to understand the skills required in making this business, or any other service profession like it, succeed.  In providing a realistic blueprint for our business, your manual has helped us save countless hours and countless dollars.  In a short time, your manual has taught me more about advertising, submitting business proposals, bidding, estimating contracts, and maintaining a satisfied clientele than I believe I would have learned after several years in the field or even several years in a business college.  Thus far, with the help of your manual and software (Executive ToolKit), we were able to secure several commercial accounts and have numerous accounts pending.  At present the future looks very promising, and for this we feel indebted.  Once again, thank you for all your support and assistance.  We will be visiting your web site and purchasing any other products that you provide.  (BA, New York)

Note: Within two months after receiving their copy of Building Service Contracting this couple rapidly built a $42,000 per year business from scratch and have many more bids outstanding ready to sign.  At this rate they will have a $100,000 per year gross income  within the first six months of business. They became CPI Business Development Members to help take their business to the next level of growth and profitability.
