more to do with having an effective plan
[76]
for finding landing and keeping
[80]
profitable cleaning jobs I know you may
[84]
be thinking yeah that's easier said than
[86]
done sure it is but all really important
[90]

[114]
finding landing and keeping profitable
[118]
cleaning jobs in a nutshell your success
[122]
will depend to a great degree on your
[125]
ability to find land and keep profitable
[128]
cleaning jobs so let's take a look at
[130]
each one of these critical parts let's
[132]
start with finding
[134]
while it's tempting to think all
[135]
prospects are the same they're not some
[139]
accounts are hard to clean and hard to
[141]
keep clean some customers are hard to
[144]
get happy and even harder to keep happy
[147]
some accounts are hard to get profitable
[149]
and even harder to keep making money at
[152]
you get the idea now on the other hand
[155]
some accounts are easy to staff and keep
[158]
staff low turnover some are easy to
[161]
clean and keep looking that way and some
[164]
customers tend to be more reasonable
[165]
more cooperative and more loyal than
[168]
others and some jobs are profitable
[170]
right from the beginning and they tend
[173]
to stay that way
[173]
now those sound great don't they well
[177]
that's right you probably guessed
[179]
already one challenge is figuring out
[182]
which is which namely finding out who
[186]
the good ones are likely to be as well
[189]
as who you might want to steer clear of
[192]
that's really the trick finding out not
[195]
only who they are but where they are and
[199]
how to get to them you can call it
[201]
prospecting call it target marketing
[203]
whatever you call it at the end of the
[205]
day it means having a good reason for
[208]
who you decide to clean and a plan for
[211]
how to get a list of them that fit the
[214]
bill okay next landing after knowing who
[219]
you want to clean and how to reach them
[222]
comes the challenging yet exciting work
[224]
of getting them to want to hire you
[227]
that's right once you've found your
[229]
prospect landing them requires a
[231]
marketing plan that attracts them and a
[235]
selling strategy that moves them to take
[238]
action to make a decision to hire you
[242]
okay and finally keeping if you want to
[245]
start a successful cleaning business
[246]
you'll want to develop a plan for
[248]
keeping the jobs you'll and businesses
[252]
who go all out in the beginning to find
[255]
and land jobs only to turn around and
[258]
quickly lose many of them by not
[261]
delivering quality cleaning or proactive
[263]
customer service they may find
[266]
themselves simply
[267]
chasing their own tail endlessly having
[271]
to find new customers to replace the
[274]
ones that keep getting away all for lack
[278]
of a concrete plan of how to keep them
[282]
you know logos business cards insurance
[286]
chemicals and equipment are all well and
[289]
good but if you want to start a
[292]
successful cleaning business the right
[294]
way consider this right from the start
[298]

[300]
detailed plans for finding landing and
[305]
keeping profitable cleaning jobs the
[308]
