The evening event to cap the first day of the Aspire to Greatness workshop for commercial clean business leaders left Jenn Gobel and Tiffany Ferguson, shall we say, bowled over.
"I ended up having a really, really good time in talking to people," Gobel, the co-owner of Gobel's Commercial Cleaning Services, says of the outing at Pins & Ales in Draper, UT. "It really did help loosen people to be a little bit more open."
"That's where everybody let their hair down," adds Ferguson, the Gobel’s operations manager.
Entertainment and networking with new business friends in a relaxed environment are just a couple of the perks in attending Aspire to Greatness, where Aspire customers learn more about the software that propels their commercial clean businesses. That learning flows through Aspire team members but also emerges as attendees share their own best practices with each other.
Bowling and beverages, combined with dinner, were far from the only highlight of Aspire to Greatness for Gobel and Ferguson.
The leaders in this business in Mishawaka, IN, offer five of the reasons you should consider attending and sending team members to the next Aspire to Greatness for commercial clean businesses:
1. Build relationships in the industry
Aspire provided high value for Gobel and Ferguson by bringing commercial cleaning companies together in a setting of 50 peers to exchange ideas and work toward the shared goal of using the software to improve their businesses.
"We have never had the opportunity to go to an industry-focused event like that," Gobel says. "That was one of the biggest things for me, being able to connect with people in the same industry that we are."
2. Find common ground
Aspire to Greatness attendees from any location in the United States find they’re experiencing some of the same opportunities and the same challenges.
While the industry remains highly competitive, Gobel and Ferguson found camaraderie among fellow Aspire software users.
"We're all working toward the same goal, which is the software that's going to help make all of our jobs easier," Ferguson says. "And we're not competing with each other; we're just all trying to make it work for our own companies."
Says Gobel: "It was nice to see that it's not just us, and we're not necessarily doing something wrong."
3. Learn …
Business owners, office managers, account managers, and admins who have completed implementation and onboarding get to learn strategies for improving operational efficiencies across sales, account management, operations, business development, and more.
They also get an introduction to the Health Scorecard, helping identify areas in which they can better leverage Aspire and its seemingly endless array of tools.
"It's like everybody was at that stage where they're still trying to figure it out," Ferguson says. "Even the people that have been using it for two years still don't know certain things about it."
4. … And teach
Though believing they weren’t among the most advanced Aspire users, Gobel and Ferguson still showed off their own knowledge of audits in the Aspire system with fellow attendees.
“I break it down to medical, factory, warehouse, office, school,” Gobel says, “and some of them just had this long, gigantic audit for all of their cleaning.”
5. There’s something for everyone
Gobel’s Commercial Cleaning Services, with 55 employees, wasn’t one of the larger companies participating in Aspire to Greatness in Utah. But Gobel says companies of any size will find the learning and networking beneficial.
"Everybody that attended it brought something to the table,” she says. “It didn't matter if you were 50 employees or 4,000, you were still a part of this learning experience, both educating and learning at the same time.”
