FM revenue is annuity revenue, and annuities die of silence
A facility management contract is won once and defended every day, except that almost no FM company actually defends it. The service runs, the invoices go out, the quarterly review slips to next quarter, and the client's only structured contact with the agency is the escalation call. Then the re-tender notice arrives and everyone is surprised. On the new-business side the same silence: bids that took a week to build get one follow-up call before procurement's months-long evaluation swallows them.
The pattern is identical at both ends, relationships with predictable calendars, unattended because operations always shouts louder than correspondence.
