“Being a member of ARCSI gives your business legitimacy. It provides free webinars and training events that are invaluable. It allows it’s members to attend an annual convention that provides great educational sessions and where lifetime connections are made. It helps the cleaning business owner to know they are not alone.”
“I was a member in the early days (before it was ARCSI and part of ISSA). I think the association is very important for our fragmented industry. I have benefited from meeting other like-minded members as well as by taking advantage of the educational resources. I also think it’s important to have the association advocating for our industry.”
“There’s cleaning and then there’s professional cleaning. I believe the majority of people who enter this profession have good intentions and want to be great at what they do. It takes time, it takes intention, and having the right resources and people surrounding you make all the difference. ARCSI sets standards and opens the door to resources and colleagues that make it possible for individuals and companies to become true professionals.”
“I am a member of our association because we are all in this industry together. I don’t even call other cleaners operating in my market ‘competitors.’ There aren’t enough of us to clean all the houses that need it! We should be collaborating, constantly improving, and sharpening each other. ARCSI allows me to share knowledge with others and build community.”
“I think it’s important for a residential cleaning company to become a member of ARSCI because by doing so you tap into a wealth of knowledge and expertise. As a member you’ll have access to like-minded people who know what you’re going through and, most importantly, how to face any challenges they are facing now or will down the road.”
“Being an business owner can be isolating and being a residential house cleaning business owner can be even more so. By becoming a member of ARCSI one connects with a network of industry peers and, thus, does not have to ‘go it alone’ anymore. This peer connection combined with access to educational and event resources helps members to achieve more success faster by cutting back on the amount of trial and error they would go through if going it alone. Outside of that ARCSI brings a sense of belonging and camaraderie.”
“If you are serious about the work you do, then is fundamental to a member of a professional organization that represents your in industry. Not only does in bring together others to discuss issues you might be facing it standardizes how things are done within the industry. Learning from others who have faced similar situations to work our the best solution is a team effort. It makes for a better resolve.”
