Description

Start a house cleaning business with this step-by-step guide and be up and running in one week. Back in the olden days before the internet was really popular and you could Google search anything, there was trial and error. If you wanted to start a house cleaning business from scratch you could, but it was rarely an overnight success for anybody. Big success was tossed to the cleaning service franchisees who could afford the fancy training, and well- built brands, while the mom and pop cleaning services were left to figure it out on their own. Good news - times have changed. As an independent house cleaner, you no longer have to wade through endless Pinterest boards for tips and ideas on how to start a house cleaning business. Angela Brown built from scratch one of the most successful independently owned and operated house cleaning companies in the Southeastern United States. If you are serious about success in the cleaning service industry, you should sign up for her free tips, tricks and time saving hacks by joining the Savvy Cleaner email list at: savvycleaner.com/tips and you follow her blog at:She has trained a multitude of independent house cleaners how to take their business from day one through expansion and enormous growth. In this step-by-step guide she'll show you: How to set up your home office What office supplies you are going to need Ideas for your company logo How to choose your company name How to choose a uniform Tips on creating your company image and brand How to set your rules and policies How to choose a territory Everything you need to know about creating flyers, worksheets and why you need them. How to bid jobs, what to charge, What kind of car you need, Confidence builders & how to build instant credentials, Bonding, insurance The magic of the Mulligan, How to get an endless stream of referrals, how much you should pay for referral fees, How to never have any billing and collections, and how to always get paid and on time. (There is a reason they call Angela Brown "The House Cleaning Guru".) If you're here because you have an interest in house cleaning or in upgrading your life and you want to start a house cleaning business,welcome. House cleaning business is a 49 billion dollar a year industry that is nearly recession proof - when times get hard, people work more hours to pay the bills, they have less time at home to clean,so they outsource their cleaning - which means more business for you and me. Another awesome reason to start a house cleaning business is this: unlike a regular 9 to 5 job if you get fired, you're not out of work. You simply add another customer into your new available time slot and keep going. And you will learn here how to do such an amazing job,that you will never get fired, and your clients will never want you to leave. Franchise or Start a house cleaning business?

  • Starting a cleaning business? You need this in your back pocket!
Format: Paperback
This book was easy to follow, a quick read, and it dove into some of the psychological aspects of house cleaning as well as the practical ones. It touched on all aspects of starting your cleaning business and cleared up some of the questions that I have as a new owner/operator. It is very economically priced for the wealth of information you receive. ... show more

  • This will be in my library forever!
Format: Paperback

  • A lot of detail and savvy advice!
I'm giving this eBook 5-stars for content. So much useful information is jammed into approximately 108 pages. Angela is very thorough (probably as thorough in covering the topic as she is in cleaning a house) as she takes you from start-up to getting your business underway. The book includes a sample advertising flyer, as well as the work-checklist she leaves her clients after the cleaning is done so they know exactly what projects have been completed. The author instructs you how to get clients, how to talk to them, and how to treat them so they stay with you long-term (and give you referrals). A good number of photos illustrate key points. I was very impressed with all that was covered; everything from uniforms, appearance, pricing and billing, and how to run your business with integrity. I had two main take-aways from this book: 1) I don't think house cleaning as a business is a good fit for me, and 2) the principles of hard-work, attention to detail, courtesy, integrity, and providing a service and doing it well are things that can be be applied to ANY home business. I'm glad I read 'How to Start Your Own House Cleaning Company' because it gave sound advice that I intend to apply as an entrepreneur in another field. I definitely recommend this book if you are serious about starting your own cleaning business! ... show more

  • Best honest information for green horns.
Format: Kindle
I absolutely love Angela and her no bull crap, straight to the point, honest and informative advice. Not only is she actually giving away her own customers but she’s teaching old and new house cleaners not to cut each other’s throats, not to steal clients, and to view fellow house cleaners as colleagues and a community rather then competition. Sure a little competition is good for the soul but to do it professionally and light hearted takes a special kind of breed. I have been wanting to open my own cleaning business and focus on more of helping those in need rather then cleaning for my pockets. We live in a small town and don’t have many neighborhoods but the ones we do have are your typical elderly that refuses help from family and friends but will take the help of a stranger, disabled people who like the elderly don’t like asking for help, and lower income families that are working 2-3 jobs just to keep food on the table, and then you have those family’s who are a caregiver for a family member on in home hospice. I’m not after a get rich quick scheme, I’m after helping my little rinky dink town because everyone deserves a clean house no matter what the situation is. ... show more

  • Helpful information for cleaning business start-up
Format: Paperback
Angela outlines the best process to start your cleaning business. Her book is easy to read, informative. However, she leaves alot of information out as she wants you to buy the other training classes. There are several of them & they are $200 each! I tallied it up & if I took all her training classes, I would be spending over 3k. Considering this book gives the reader an overview, I will be researching any additionally needed business guidance elsewhere. ... show more

  • Don't depend on this book alone! Good overview
Format: Paperback
I recommend this book for someone who is thinking about starting a cleaning business. If you are already a cleaner/ owner of a cleaning business, chances you are doing as much or more than the book provides with everything from payments, flyers, website, social media, uniforms, marketing, and overall products. The author Angela Brown doesn't talk about a lot of the ideas, especially when talking about marketing, yelp, Facebook, webpages, ads, etc... I think this book was clever for advertising! She leaves a lot out because she wants you to take up her classes and program. I liked her 63 questions, but they are pretty generic, and you can save yourself money by looking them up on her YouTube channel or using google. IF ANYONE needs help learning how to clean use YouTube and hands on, also go join a house cleaning Facebook group preferably a business owner type!... They help out a lot from payments, shared experiences, cleaning etc. Also use YouTube to help design your website, yelp, etc.... They help... Logos from Canva or what you decide on editing. Although, the book has offered some cleaning checklist and flyer templates you can find better ones that fit your business online. The checklist however was every good to transfer to word doc and being easy to edit. I think it is extremely important to have a checklist in order for your clients to know what you have done in their house; it also provides a list for yourself to check off. Angela Brown speaks about her referral system being on word of mouth and sharing her cleaning checklist doubled as an invoice. I think that was a great point but left out that it should provide a QR code because we live in a world of sharing via text, people don't want to have a bunch of papers laying around! more to clean-up! Also saves you to cost of printing out flyers when people share your QR code that way your contact is immediately synced. -Thank you for reading! ... show more
