JanBid - Quick and Accurate Bids
Unmatched Accuracy
Built in adjustments for size of building, density of occupants, building use, cleaning
frequency - a total of seven adjustments that pin point precise cleaning times.
Personalized
Service
You can hand craft each bid to meet the specific needs of each customer
Beat the Low Bidders
You can offer a partial
cleaning or a service of empting trash only on selected nights. Jan Bid calculates the price at a higher billing rate to offset
reduced service. Beat out the competition by offering three levels of service. For example, you could choose to offer a complete
cleaning three nights a week, a partial one night a week and trash only one night a week. You choose the frequency and Jan
Bid does all the calculations.
Faultless Building Surveys
Survey forms are included to record data during your bid walk through. Record square footage of carpet, tile
and rest rooms for calculation of nightly cleaning plus, floor waxing and carpet cleaning estimates. Quick and easy data entry
even for a novice.
Fast Results
Enter
the data from your survey and in just a few minutes view the cleaning times and costs. Your
Complete Bid is Ready
Jan Bid helps you complete the Cleaning Specification Chart, your Additional
Cleaning Services (for windows, carpets and floors) and then fills in the customer name, address and monthly bid amount in
the Cleaning Service Agreement (contract). Print out your bid and it is ready to go. Built in adjustments for size of
building, density of occupants, building use, cleaning frequency - a total of seven adjustments that pin point precise cleaning
times.

Details of the Jan
Bid
Estimating Software
An exclusive feature of Jan Bid is that you can instantly adjust
the cleaning times for each and every building. Experienced contractors
know that buildings are different, with individual cleaning needs and conditions.
You will have three building survey forms, including a Cleaning Variable rating scale for seven major cleaning variables.
When you make your building
walk-through, you simply fill out the forms. The scoring system asks for a rating of each item on a scale of either 1-30,
1-10 or 1-3. The total score for the Cleaning Variable survey is entered into
the Jan Bid worksheet as a Difficulty Factor.
The Difficulty
Factor automatically adjusts the cleaning times accordingly. The Difficulty
Factor entered will calculate the cleaning times at the following minutes per thousand or square feet cleaned per hour.
Difficulty Factor Min. per thousand Sq.
ft per hour
1 30
2,000
.9 27 2,200
.8
24
2,500
.7 21 2,857
.6 18 3,333
.5 15 4,000
.4 12 5,000
If extra duties are requested such as cleaning microwaves,
removing everything from desks to polish or sweeping outside walks, etc. the difficulty level can be increased above
one. For example, by entering 1.5 in the Difficulty Factor box, the cleaning
time would jump to 45 min. per thousand or 1,500 square feet per hour.
Note: The Difficulty Factor is highly accurate.
It calcultes to the hundreth position. For example .73 might be a typical score for a large building.
Rest room cleaning times are calculated by entering the
square footage of the restrooms and number of fixtures such as sinks, mirrors, urinals, commodes and partitions. Jan
Bid asks for a Difficulty Factor score for restrooms. Each building can be scored depending upon light, medium or heavy cleaning
demands.
Again, the survey forms will allow even a novice to pinpoint
all the required cleaning activities. Several hundred buildings have been entered into the software to check the accuracy
of the cleaning times.
You can enter the data collected from your building survey
in just a couple of minutes. Instantly view the Jan Bid
labor calculations and monthly costs.
Another exclusive feature of Jan Bid is the ability
to bid on a nightly complete cleaning or submit a bid for a partial clean and/or trash pick up only. If a prospect requires a low monthly price, you can submit the cost for partial (spot) cleaning and trash
pick up only, in addition to a complete clean.
The partial clean reflects a 25% labor reduction
and trash pick up reflects a 50% labor reduction. So even by reducing your price,
you still earn a significant hourly salary for doing less work. You can
choose any frequency your customer desires such as a complete clean twice a week, a partial clean twice a week and a
trash only once a week. Personalize your bid - the software does all the calculations
for you.
Jan Bid asks you to enter the travel time to and
from the account and then adds an additional hour per month for administrative and paperwork time. What a great software system. You can be right on
the money every time! Now you have a definite advantage over your competitors.
The instructions include samples from actual buildings.
Software cleaning times were compared with actual labor records to ensure accuracy. Jan Bid takes the guesswork
out of bidding. No more need to bump up pricing to cover the unknown and then lose the
contract.

TESTIMONIALS
"Just received your JanBid and WOW! What a deal, so easy and straight forward. Now I have a way
to know what I should charge! That has been a bit of a stumbling block for me at times. Like many others that's always
hard to figure and be fair to yourself and the customer, even after 10 years in the business. But JanBid makes it happen
quite easily. Thanks again for all your years
of experience and being willing to share the inside information with us."
William Kerr Hygienic Genies Denver, Colorado
Dear Mr. Clipperton,
"I've been in the cleaning business
for over eight years now, but still found myself engaging in a great deal of guesswork with each proposal I put together.
I've looked at other bidding programs over the years, but have not found them to be very accurate or useful, in spite
of their price tag.
I have found Jan Bid to be easy to use, and surprisingly accurate. Since
purchasing the program, I have been using Jan Bid for all of my janitorial bids and will continue
to do so."
Sincerely,
Joshua Bowe JANISTAR
Minneapolis, MN.
"I really like your Jan Bid Software. I've looked at other bid programs but for what I am doing, this
is the greatest and its very user friendly. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into such a great product."

Gary,
Thank you very much for your great customer service. Our person
in charge of janitorial services left without notice and this job has fallen into my hands. I do not know very much
about figuring janitorial prices so I ordered your program.
Overnight I have learned a great deal and I now feel
somewhat comfortable in giving reliable estimates. You have exceeded my expectations!
Ralph
W. Goodwill Industries, S.C.
I’ve ordered both the Janitorial Success course and the Jan-Bid estimating
program and can say that these materials are very impressive in their scope and professionalism. They take
a lot of the guesswork out of the start-up phase of your business by addressing common questions that you may have.
They are worth
many times more than Gary is charging for them. I would strongly encourage anyone interested in starting
a commercial cleaning business to run, don’t walk, to order Gary’s products; you won’t be disappointed.
Gary’s products are also very helpful for anyone who’s been working in the cleaning industry
and is looking to supplement their knowledge and increase the bottom line for their business.
I have spoken
to Gary on a number of occasions and can honestly say that Gary is in a class by himself when it comes to supporting his products.
You won’t come across a more unselfish, helpful person than Gary, in the cleaning industry, or otherwise.
He and all of his materials come with my highest recommendation.

I
have been using Jan Bid for a little while now and it has saved me from not only low bidding, but taking the guess out of
bidding a building. My business is fairly new. I have the skills to do all the work required, but my bidding skills
were not where they needed to be because in my area there are a many large cleaning contractors. Jan Bid helps me stay up
with the big boys.

Gary,
we just landed our first contract using Jan Bid and for the price you suggested. The customer is pleased with our work
and now we are working on other bids using your software. Thanks for your advice. You have helped send us on our way.

Gary-
I purchased your Jan Bid software about 2 months ago. Just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with
it. Bids usually come out about the same as the other method I was using but gives a much better detailing of time and
expenses.
Jim Watters Watters Maintenance Batavia,
IL I have just starting using JanBid for my service and already landed two nice contracts from it. You
have an excellent tool that any contractor can use. I have found JanBid makes me a better contractor and
keeps my customers happy. Thank you for all the advice. Mark Zolezi All
