Jani-King: A Maiden Voyage

The Beginning

Moving to Canada from Eritrea ten years ago, Daniel Solomon started like most of us – working nine to five trying to support his family. After a few successful years as a Jani-King employee, Daniel decided it was time to step up to the plate and buy his own franchise. That was four years ago and he couldn’t be happier!

Daniel regales, “I’m very happy that I own a cleaning franchise with Jani-King. It’s eye-opening for me.”

Now able to comfortably support a full and active lifestyle for himself and his family, Daniel goes into further detail about his rise to success.

The Rise

With a busy cleaning business, Daniel has nine staff that are just as dedicated to his Jani-King franchise. Leading by example, he allows his staff to take full ownership of accounts and clients. Stepping aside from the “boss” role and fully embracing the “leadership” role allows this Jani-King team to work as a cohesive team.

Daniel states, “The staff takes care of the accounts like they are their own babies. They don’t just work to make their hours.”

There is no janitorial job too big or too small for this team. They tackle each project head-on with professionalism and integrity. 

The Future

Daniel has accomplished so much during his rise that the future promises to be bright! Over the last four years, Daniel has witnessed the trials and tribulations of owning a business. However, that won’t stop him from providing excellent service for his clients. The commitment he has for Jani-King goes above and beyond. Seeing the bigger picture, not only for himself but for his team, allows him to make strides in gaining a greater customer base.

Daniel reiterates, “The opportunity is only in your hands if you work hard, if you work smart, if you know how to communicate, if you know how to deal with your customers.”

Following the core principles of Jani-King of Manitoba and passing that down to his team helps to solidify the franchise and propel his commercial cleaning business. His dedication to the organization does not stop there, by being an avid advocate for his franchise he will continue to grow the business.

The Jani-King Difference

There are so many cleaning franchise opportunities out there, so how do you choose the right one for you?

One key principle that Daniel reinforces – do your research. It is vital to look into the core values of each franchise to see if they are going to work with you or against you. Working with Jani-King, you can be confident that your clients will get a fair price, exceptional cleaning services, and you’ll receive the support you need to get the job done. 

Daniel reflects, “I see them like my family. Every time I struggle, every time I have a question, every time I have a difficult time, I consult with them and they give me a hand.”

Bill Cole and his fantastic extended team at Jani-King of Manitoba are there for you when you need them most. Whether that is daily office building maintenance, health and medical cleaning services, construction clean-up, or anything in between.
