We gain new clients from our comp every year because they reduce their hours at the beginning of JASON. This angers clients and when their not happy with you it can be the one thing that pushes them to leave to your comp.

Here are a few things to consider if you insist on cutting:

1. Shorten your hours to save on labor.
2. Stop providing toilet paper in your restroom or don't provide a public restroom at all to save on all that water too.
3. Do not turn on your heat until the inside temperatures reach 60 degrees.
4. Work all available hours yourself and get rid of all your staff (if you have any).
5. Use a bucket for your bed cleaning towels and reuse them indefinitely. You never have to wash them.
6. Don't provide your clients with their own towels to use saving you money washing them.
7. We replaced 95% of our lighting with LED to save $100's a year on electricity.
8. You could have your clients clean their own beds to make your life easier too.

Or you could just focus on bring in more clients with money.
Anyone who would even consider doing any of these except for #1 AND #7 is already done.
