This month, The Ashkin Group has a lot more news than normal to report -- several "first ever" developments that should add a whole new dimension to your skills selling green products and services.

First and foremost, the front gates of the online "Green Cleaning University" are just a few weeks away from swinging open! What is Green Cleaning University? Why launch it now? Why should you care?

Green Cleaning University is a shiny, new online training resource developed by The Ashkin Group that will offer classes – 24/7 – on how to maximize the sales of green cleaning products and services.

We are launching it this year because green cleaning programs are growing in popularity among companies and major facilities nationwide. As pioneers and leading experts of Green Cleaning products and services, The Ashkin Group hopes to speed their adoption through this innovative new resource.

Imagine climbing up the career ladder while lounging in your recliner! Green Cleaning University could make that dream come true. Classes will require no commute, no travel expense, no set schedule and no time away from work.

It is run by some of the top innovators of the Green Cleaning Industry so you can expect the equivalent of a Harvard faculty specializing in green cleaning products and services.

Please stay tuned for more details about where and when you can visit Green Cleaning University and register for classes. It's coming soon to a computer near you!

New Column
In other news, we have decided to significantly expand the tips and expertise presented in both our newsletters by adding a new regular column -- "Expert Insights." Each month we will explore the challenges, successes and lessons-learned of at least one green cleaning expert. Featured individuals may include salespersons, highly successful facilities managers, green cleaning products manufacturers and others.

You'll find the very first "Expert Insights" column in this month's issue. Please email us to let us know what you think of it.

And there's more...

Audio Programs
Starting later this month, we shall produce audio news programs of our "Expert Insights" too. Yes, The Ashkin Group plans to begin PODCASTING. We will offer regular audio programs that you can listen to at your desk, at home or -- if you have a digital audio device -- on the road!

As you can see, The Ashkin Group is committed to using every affordable tool and innovative method to help increase your sales and accelerate the cleaning industry's shift to green.
