Obtaining quotes is a crucial step in the purchasing process. It allows you to compare different options and make informed decisions about market value, quality, service, and value for money.
However, it’s important to consider your motivation when requesting quotes. This will determine the focus of your search and help you make the best selection. Be careful not to narrow your focus too much and overlook other important factors.
Maintain a balanced approach
When it comes to requesting quotes, the goal should be to find the best value for your money. This means doing your research to understand the highest standards of cleaning and why paying less may not be worth the sacrifice in quality. It’s important to avoid compromising on quality just to get a lower price.
At Xlent Cleaning, our quotation process is designed to help you get the most value for your money. Some cleaning companies may give you an hourly rate based on minimal information about your cleaning needs, which may seem efficient at first glance. However, taking the time to thoroughly consider your options can help you avoid being caught off guard by a sense of urgency and make a more informed decision.
Am I getting “value for money”?
When seeking quotes, it’s important to ask for specifics and evidence to support claims of high-quality service. To get the best value for your money, you need to know exactly where it is going. That’s why it’s essential to be specific and thorough in your requests, rather than taking guesses or risks.
At Xlent Cleaning, we believe in transparency and strive to provide clear, specific information in our quotations. Our quotation process is designed to ensure that you know exactly what you are getting and are backed by our service guarantee.
Here’s how our quotation process works
- Initial information gathering and site inspection
To better understand your premises and cleaning expectations, we will gather some initial information from you over the phone and schedule a site inspection. This will allow us to see your premises in person and have a more in-depth conversation about our professional techniques and methodology.
- In-person meeting
Meeting in person is a more engaging and effective way for us to get to know you and your premises, and for you to assess our potential suitability as a cleaning partner. We will listen to your specific cleaning needs and discuss how we can develop the best possible plan to meet them.
- Quotation and scope of work preparation
After our meeting, we will return to the office and prepare a quotation and scope of work based on the insights we gained about your cleaning needs. This will include a detailed checklist of cleaning duties, our approach to achieving them, the timeframe, and the cost.
- Quotation and scope of work delivery and decision-making
We will send you the quotation and scope of work and await your decision. Our goal is to be the company of your choice by delivering the best possible outcomes and building a long-lasting relationship with you. We will focus on retaining your business by aligning our strategies, systems, and people to meet and exceed your cleaning expectations.
