Advice During Election Season

Smart Cleaning School

This podcast episode was released just 4 weeks prior to the 2024 Presidential Election. You might be asking. “Why does that matter Ken?” I hope you do. I have been around this industry for nearly 20 years and have talked to many industry leaders. We need to be wise and discerning of the mindsets and emotional meters of our clientele. We need to recognize trends and historical data. Here is a simple truth. Each election cycle is getting more and more volatile. Each election cycle is more divisive, more fear-based, with more unknowns. This causes Americans to hold on to what they’ve got. This causes home owners and businesses to postpone making the that cleaning service hire. People are scared. People are less trusting.
This is not isolated to cleaning. I have a friend in construction equipment rentals and sales. He told me the same thing. “I’ve been doing this for over 2 decades and we always see a slow down right before a major election.” I find this fascinating and I shared it on a recent Solo Elite Membership Call. This short clip is my advice during election season. It is short and sweet.
Did this sway your strategy a little as we wrap up 2024? Are you going to invest into your customer base by building trust or will you make moves and changes anyway? I can’t urge you enough to choose the prior.
