Dear Laura,

This is the first of four newsletters that we are launching this year as a means of extending our service to you. Our hope is that you would find this information helpful and applicable both personally and professionally. Your feedback matters to us. We'd love to hear from you!

The Importance of Being Efficient

It can be said that all businesses are guided by three underlying principles:

1. Deliver the highest quality service or product for the lowest possible cost to the marketplace.

2. Provide employees with the best possible wage and benefit package that your company can afford.

3. Practice principles 1 and 2 with the greatest efficiency and lowest possible cost to your enterprise.

If you fail to honor these in any way, you will lose customers, employees and ultimately, your business will suffer. However, if you attend to these principles, you will reap the rewards of happy customers, satisfied employees and a profitable enterprise.

We, at ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport, have found the following list of tips to be of tremendous value as we pursue the aforementioned objectives. We pass these tips on to you trusting that you (and your business) will benefit.
