Change Without Pain

Everyone hates the Bid Process, which is:

“The unbiased system by which they who lie most adroitly are winnowed by price until they who lie best for the very least are then carefully chosen by committee.”

If this has worked out well in the past, why are you now forced to repeat the process? Will repetition provide a different result? Why subject yourself to the agony?

We Have a Better Way

Choose the service you feel best understands your needs and wants and is best able to meet them (our suggestion FTC), then negotiate a budget sufficient to accomplish those goals and then change for the last time!

How does that work?

Very well, thank you. This is what one client has to say:

“When I became responsible for the ODS Companies' Milwaukee Operations Center, I did not contemplate changing janitorial vendors for years, not until the pain of indifferent service exceeded the pain of change. Once the decision was made, I did not resort to the bid process and its attendant Clown Circus; I called in Alan Wickstrand, with whom I had previously worked with at another facility.

Over coffee, we developed a program for the Center providing increased service and coverage, maintained comparable wages and benefits (Union) and did so at a 20% reduction in my overall costs! When FollowThrough took over, the transition was seamless; the only difference was no longer being greeted in the morning with a mailbox full of janitorial complaints and no longer spending my day pacifying surly cleaners."
