Is a Messy Front Office Hurting Your Customer’s First Impression?

Just as people are judged on first impressions, a customer’s first impression of visiting your office influences the way they think of your business. They say you have seven seconds to make a first impression. What your customer sees within the first seven seconds of entering your office can tell them a lot about you. What first impression is your space giving?

While you might not view it as a business priority, having a clean and decluttered front office is just as important as having a clean and decluttered business plan. When a customer comes in for a meeting, or a candidate comes in for an interview, being greeted with a messy front office filled with dusty cabinets, stained carpet and a stale smell in the air is very off-putting. A licensed commercial cleaning service helps improve the first impression by ensuring that anyone visiting the building is greeted with a cleanly and welcoming environment.

As a busy business owner, you don’t have time to worry about cleaning your office entryway. You may not have even noticed that the space could use some sprucing up. However, the small details of clutter and cleanliness is what a commercial custodial service focuses on. Hiring a janitorial service allows you to spend your time focusing on your business initiatives, while letting someone else focus on the housekeeping side.

For small or startup businesses, hiring a cleaning service might seem like a large or avoidable expense. However, the time you would spend doing the cleaning yourself takes away from the time you can spend working on your business, which actually ends up costing you more in the long run. If you aren’t sure you can afford to have your entire office space cleaned, consider having just the front entryway space professionally cleaned. That way any customer’s first impression starts off on a good note and the only thing they have to focus on is the meeting.
