The Professional House Cleaning Business
Growing any business takes time and patience. And if you have a loyal client base now, set aside a portion of your gross revenue for advertising, custom business forms and your own products and equipment. Expanding your house cleaning business also takes planning. How can you start getting new clients without a large advertising budget? A small one-time investment in custom business forms is the first step. So what's wrong with not using business forms? Absolutely nothing if you're satisfied with your client base right now and not interested in making more money. But I hear from a lot of cleaners that are struggling in their house cleaning business. They wonder why they don't get more of the jobs they bid on. They ask why people won't pay their rate and instead want to negotiate the price down. If you're not presenting yourself as a professional business, your prospects assume you just need to make extra money; you don't have their respect and they think you'll be happy to take whatever they offer to pay. Now think about this for a minute. Who would you be more likely to hire: the plumber that shows up to estimate your job with a clipboard and custom business forms or the plumber that shows up with a flyer? Be honest with yourself; you are going to trust this plumber inside your home around your personal possessions. What if this person were to break or damage something? Do you think about this issue with the plumber with the clipboard and custom business forms, or is it more of a concern with the plumber with just the flyer? Your prospects are judging you and forming an opinion from the moment you answer their call. And you know what they say about first impressions? It's absolutely true in running a business. Not only are they judging you before they hire you, but they judge you again when you arrive on the scheduled service date. When you start to use business forms for your existing clients, they will probably ask you why the sudden change. This provides you with a chance to tell them that you're expanding your house cleaning business and would appreciate referrals. This leaves them impressed, knowing that you are serious about running a professional house cleaning business and will be more likely to make referrals. Custom business forms speak loudly to your prospects and in the long run land you more jobs, referrals and larger profits!
Most people start their house cleaning business to earn extra money. You may have family, friends and neighbors as your regular clients. Are you ready and motivated to take your part-time business to the next level?
