    Customer service can make or break any business.  Poor customer service will easily deplete your customer base.  Making sure to always be pleasant is crucial when dealing with customers with eye contact, a smile and commenting or small talk is always a sure fire way to begin the customer service interaction.  Personal presentation is a form of good customer service as well. IJCSA provides great customer service courses for members.  The courses are very informative on how to keep customers, how to do the best job for our business and to be successful.

    Good customer service for a janitorial service is to hear the customer’s needs in specific areas that they are concerned about and address those needs, keep in constant contact and make sure the customer is pleased with the services provided.  Let customers know the importance of maintaining a clean office for their employees and future customers.  It will help to boost employee’s moral and decrease sick time.  IJCSA Members are great at customer service and display an exemplary skill.  They are best trained for the job and stay on top of what is needed for keeping up with the industry.  In my experience, they are knowledgeable, resourceful and informative and always welcome questions with a smile.

    There are a number of institutions, associations and organizations offering certifications in Green Cleaning. IJCSA Green Cleaning Certification is the most affordable today and provides its Members with the most current exposure and training on safe green practices, guidelines, and regulations.

    In certain parts of the world, particularly first world countries, yearly green certification is required. This is why IJCSA ensures Members are thoroughly trained in all current aspects of natural safe eco-friendly and green cleaning procedures.

    Some of the benefits for members are as follows:

    Members can turn in a green cleaning certificate with their cleaning proposals to insure they meet the standards of current green cleaning certification program, so their business remains certified.

    Businesses get a boost in sales and services when are certified and the reputation of the company triples as a result.

    The business or individual increases their chances of landing lucrative contracts because customers like to know the contractor is knowledgeable in the field.

    Particularly for me in the Caribbean, it gives me the added opportunity to be considered as “an authority” in green cleaning and other certification and places my company as one that can guide the way forward to see the government of Trinidad and Tobago table legislation to make it mandatory for cleaning companies now considered front-line and essential to be green certified. Who knows, because of my certification, I could possibly be a trainer or advocate for IJCSA in my country.

    Green Cleaning Certification comes with a sense of pride, integrity, validity, accreditation and authority on the subject matter. But more importantly training in green certification protects both the population and the world from dangerous chemicals. Because understanding the impacts of hazardous chemicals and their long-term effects to green earth is needed today. There are thousands of harmful chemicals on the market. While the owners of manufactures continue to make millions, lives are lost to sicknesses associated with these harmful chemicals. Considering that these chemicals are not biodegradable, they take years before they can be broken down. The burden are upon those of us that are certified to sound the alarm and demand the-right-to-know what are in these chemicals and why they should be discontinued.
