Most people today want to start their own business to quit the rat-race, be their own boss, and spend more time with their family. I would bet the majority of these people would never consider a house cleaning business to be their “ideal business”. It would seem this would be much more work than they are used to and not a very glamorous career!
I have many customers that have invested in The House Cleaning Pro Business-in-a-Box that comes with nine house cleaning forms. Even though the system comes with these forms, I find most of the purchasers have not used them. Why?
One of the fastest growing services is organizing. This service is being offered by many house cleaning businesses as an extra service. I’m sure if you think back on the houses you have walked through and provided a bid, you’ll agree that most people need this type of service.
There are two types of brushes used in the professional house cleaning business:
The small brush has a brush head that is just a little larger than a toothbrush. It’s primary use is in cleaning around and along the edges of small appliances, fixtures and edges. One of the first mistakes I made when I started cleaning, was to ignore the buildup of dirt and grime around these areas. After all, if you don’t know what to look for, you don’t realize it needs to be cleaned! Even in the homes that I thought these areas were “fine”, I was amazed at what was removed when I used the small brush.
One of the newsletters I subscribe to had a link to a book, “The Accidental Millionaire”. The brief comments that were included intrigued me, and it looked like a fast read. Of course, I had to get the book. I’m always interested in what makes people successful.
The best way to turn in-home bids into scheduled clients is by using professional business forms specific to the cleaning trade. Why? Because people trust service people that are using business cards and forms that have their logo on it. These inspire trust in your prospects because they can see that you have gone to the expense of establishing a legal and professional business.
