David Versus Goliath: Can Small Businesses Compete Against Big Businesses?

Is it worth a small company’s time and effort to take on bigger businesses and bid for larger contracts?

The story of David versus Goliath is the biblical representation of the weak and small defeating the strong and large. While that might have worked in the first book of Samuel, is the concept a realistic expectation when it comes to professional cleaning businesses?

In this episode of Straight Talk!, Chris Arlen, president of Revenue-IQ, and Brian Cradock, division president of IFS Group, a Kleen-Tech Services company, discuss how small cleaning businesses can come out ahead against bigger companies and be just as or even more successful as their larger counterparts.

If you own or manage a smaller business, find out how you can defeat your own fears, compete against bigger businesses, and successfully go after the larger contracts by watching the video or listening to the podcast below!
