2010 was another exciting year for Team MJV.

A special thanks goes out to all Team Members for allowing our organization the opportunity to provide healthy cleaning services and project solutions to our strong customer base.  Although we experienced some bumps and bruises from a few customers that required serious service and price reductions due to the economic uncertainties of their business, our Team was able to fight hard and have our strongest year ever!

Similar to 2009, our continued commitment to improving the company culture through Team Member programs and activities was very rewarding.  Some highlights of 2010 include:

1. Team Member Appreciation Picnic

2. Updated website – www.teammjv.com

3. Social Media Opportunities through our Facebook Page www.facebook.com/TeamMJV

4.  Strengthening of our Project Solutions, Power Sweeping and Painting Division.

5.  Renewal of GS-42 Green Seal Certification – Team MJV was Indiana’s first certified building service contractor.

6.  Our Operations Team opened up 24 new accounts in one week throughout northern Indiana.  This was a challenging and painful task but our Team planned for it very well and made it a success.

7.  Addition of more Operational of Office Staff to support the company growth.

8.  Addition of a third outside sales professional and inside sales position to generate immediate growth – telemarketing Team added to help generate new revenues.

9.  A solid acquisition in Southwest Michigan which included the addition of 135 Team Members and over 70 customers.  This was our first venture into the Michigan market.

Team MJV had a very successful 2010 and we are looking forward to a very exciting 2011.  It’s already off to a fast start!

Participating from Team MJV were Coaches Roger Ford, Rod Sopczynski, Libby Luttrell, Ray Daniels, Glen McClure, Leonard Stewart, Phylis Frith and Stacy McBride.

 

Some of the topics discussed were vacuum cleaning and maintenance, filter changing, brush changing and minor repairs.  We learned that vacuum filters can have extended life if vacuumed as needed saving us money.

 

Battery maintenance, charging, using distilled water to fill cells, cleaning posts and testing were also taught.  We learned that keeping water levels is critical to maximize the life of a battery and you should always check the water level after every charge.

 

We also learned how to maintain floor scrubbers and keep them in good working condition.  Squeegee blades have 4 sides that can be used before replacing.  Keeping the solution filter cleaned out in the water line can help keep the lines from clogging.  A quick and easy way to empty the cleaning solution in your scrubber after use is to use the vacuum hose on the scrubber.  Scrubbers should always be stored with the pad drivers and squeegee assembly removed.  Only fill scrubbers with enough cleaning solution to perform the task.  Left over solution must be discarded and this is unnecessary waste. 

 

Everyone attending learned several things to help us better maintain our equipment and prolong the life of our equipment.  The instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all our questions.  HP Products has offered to have another class for us this fall.  Let your Operations Coach know if you would like to attend the next seminar.
