This is absolutely true. Especially publicly traded companies. If they don't show quarter over quarter growth they're in trouble.
So what do they do? Increase revenue or cut costs. Or both.
Derek, personally I think our service is seriously undervalued and there is not a lot that we can do about it. They look at cleaning as a cost of doing business, not as an investment in their business. Trying to push for more cleanings may have irritated the DM. Could have been a bad day, maybe business is slow, who knows.
IMO this is why having a couple of other services might be a good idea for commercial. Windows, restroom sanitation, office cleaning, etc.

A lot has to do with shareholders demanding a better return on their investments etc etc..
