A strong relationship with customers has been one of Rakesh Bhan’s keys to running a successful business.
“It takes time to build relationships with customers. I always communicate with them. That is one of the keys to running a successful business.”
The longest-serving Tauranga franchisee, who looks after 19 contracts, will celebrate 10 years in November.
“A lot of my customers I have had for eight to nine years,” he says. “I’ve got a strong relationship and bond with my customers and that has kept me going. I’ve never lost a customer because of my cleaning and I’m proud of that.”
