​In the cleaning business, one-time customers are great, but long-term clients are the foundation of sustainable success. Building strong, lasting relationships with your clients not only ensures repeat business but also leads to referrals and a positive reputation in your community. Here’s how to foster long-term relationships with your clients and turn them into loyal supporters of your business.

​Attracting new clients is a priority for any cleaning business, but marketing costs can quickly add up. Fortunately, there are plenty of effective, low-cost strategies you can use to get noticed and grow your client base without breaking the bank. Here are some actionable tips to help you attract more clients for your cleaning service on a budget.

​For house cleaning business owners, the most effective way to build a thriving company is by focusing on two critical areas: client retention and referrals. Winning new customers is essential, but keeping existing clients and encouraging them to refer others is the most sustainable path to growth. Here’s how you can leverage customer service, communication strategies, and loyalty-building techniques to boost your cleaning business.

​In today's digital age, having an online presence is vital for any business—especially in the cleaning industry. Websites, social media, and online reviews are all key to attracting new clients and growing your business. However, there’s one aspect of customer service that often gets overlooked: answering the phone.

As a cleanerpreneur, your goal is to build trust, establish relationships, and secure new business. While online presence is essential for visibility, the simple act of picking up the phone can often be the difference between winning a new client or losing them to a competitor. Here’s why answering that unknown number can be crucial to your success.

Well, that’s exactly what I’ll be sharing with you in today’s Strategy Monday!  So, if you want to find out the way I handle some of our inquiries, then I highly recommend you stick around.

Have you asked your customers for feedback recently?  If yes, great! You’re being proactive and asking for ways to improve your service.  If not, why not? Is there a bit a fear asking your customer for feedback?

I was recently talking with a relative of mine who straight out told me that she didn’t ask for feedback because she was afraid her business was not doing as well as she had convinced herself to it was.  If you also have this fear, then I strongly recommend that you stick around for today’s episode, as I’ll be sharing my perspective in an effort to get you to destroy your fear of feedback.

Do you have a “Start Here” page on your website?  If not, then you’ll want to stick around and check out my strategy for newly-committed customers.  You see I created a “Start Here” page on our website specifically for those customers who agree to having us cleaning their home.  I’ll explain my concept around the “Start Here” page.
