Episode 124 – How to Get clients For my Cleaning Business
How to Build a Cleaning Business
Ever asked yourself the question “How to build a cleaning business?” Did you come up with an answer you like? No?
Today is the day- this is the blog post and boy do we have a podcast for you!
In today’s episode, Mike coaches his guest Tandy Hood on how to build a cleaning business and transition from cleaner to business owner!
So many owners of cleaning companies that Mike coaches day in and day out make the mistake of trying to move right to ‘what to do’ and skip over the crucial steps of understanding the beliefs you must have to build your cleaning business properly.
PRO TIP: Without the foundation of the right beliefs the best tactics in the world won’t work!
Mike jumps right into one of his famous rants around the evils of owners of cleaning companies cleaning instead of running their business and how you as an owner MUST believe in your bones that it is costs you money and strangles your company’s growth when the owner is cleaning.
Until you see yourself as the owner of a company that just happens to clean as their business rather than a cleaner who just happens to be an owner you will never be able to build a cleaning business. And THAT is how we do it ladies and gentlemen!!!
Mike coaches Tandy and Cleaning Nation to pick a day and COMMIT to that day being the LAST day you clean. Ever. Period. No foolin…
Listen in and learn how to prepare yourself, your customers and your business to get you, the owner, out of cleaning as well as what to do when things go wrong and you are tempted to go back to your old, comfortable growth killing, cleaning ways…
The fun doesn’t stop there, Mike warns against “Warm body syndrome” and how to combat it, how to get multiple backups between you the owner and cleaning as well as how to handle customers that “only want YOU” the owner to clean and how that is an indicator of trouble when building your cleaning business.
You will also discover how to communicate with your customers up front and set expectations that will protect your time, your company and build healthy long term relationships with your customers.
Mike even dives into his history as the owner of a car dealership and makes many a fine example that applies directly to building a cleaning business- we are talking must listen podcasting people!!
BONUS LOVIN: Don’t have 4 employees working 40 hours a week because when anyone calls in sick, takes vacation or quits you are setting yourself up for a headache. Hire 8 employees working 20 hours a week
Mike explains that part of knowing how to build a cleaning business is understanding you are going to have turnover- create systems- plan for it and don’t let it take you by surprise.
Get a system to have new staff constantly coming in
PRO TIP: Successful owners of cleaning companies are always hiring- listen in and discover why!
