Two Maids is the leader with botched cleaning jobs

Its Abbott and Costello

Total scam

There are several suggestions to think about before you setup your own cleaning business are you likely to have help from you family? Are you someone who is self-motivated? Will you stick to your plan? Do you have the money to go ahead? (I learned these and why they work from Ayalisse clean biz website )

so what kind of commission is added per job ONTOP of hourly?

How about when the owner or owners put the chore of "training" new people on another cleaning employee who was also never trained, but figured out a good process for themselves? Why, oh why should the more experienced employee who has their own life and time value be expected to train and babysit new employees when they aren't paid to take on the responsibility of showing the new employee how things are done to get them done efficiently and right, then to find things not done, THEN asked by the owner to go through, check the new employee's work and then re-instruct the new person or even be encouraged to do whatever you notice they didn't or else run the risk of getting an annoying call about how this wasn't done or that wasn't done right. This is a common situation if you get a lazy or half-asser on your team too. It's like look, most people working for a cleaning service as a standard employee (not an IC) are getting low pay compared to the standard expectations, demands and serious physical effort put on to a good job done right. The clock is always ticking down and you are constantly physically pushing it to the limit. Especially if you get with a service that likes to offer crazy service promises and you have 4 or 5 houses lined up that day...the owner is usually not ever the one on the ground at that point, if they even ever worked as a professional cleaner themselves at all as many newer owners haven't....and so they just see the job payments coming in and don't have to do the hard ass work promised to the client to sell their services on the first place, no it's the workers in the trenches who make or break that continuing revenue potential....so back to my point, why do owners think it is ok to put the responsibility of training new employees, checking behind and even doing the work the emoyee missed or didn't do well? Anyone in cleaning knows time is $$, right down the the minute, and owners for sure know that if how they book a cleaner's day is any reflection, while they get to keep 2/3 or more of the profit, so why expect your lower paid employee to do your job for you (the training and going behind and checking and fixing) they don't have time for that. Their life's precious time is just as valuable as the owners, so...That will drive a good employee away after a while, even if they feel appreciated for their process and work ethic by the owners and that's why they were asked...after a while anyone would catch on that they are just being given more work to do with no pay increase offered. I figure things like that out right away. Also, I didn't hear anything about paying your cleaning staff well (if possible) instead of trying to get quality cleaning people for as little as humanly possible to keep them around past that first check. Given the general profit margins and the relatively low overhead cost (if you want it to be) why not just break down pay the high performing cleaning people a decent wage for their good work, exceptional reliability, no to very, very little customer complaints over many months, constantly good work quality per the clients, referrals on and on...why try to constantly cheat these types of employees by paying as little as possible? That also drives away star quality employees as they tend to also be bright and ambitious themselves and eventually figure out the owner is making a small fortune compared to them at the end of the week, month or year and they are the ones putting in the sweat, pushing with the clock and also interacting with the client face to face alot of the time. Why do it for someone else when you could be doing it for your self and claim all the $$ in that payment, not just a small hourly portion? Pay the quality workers well. Make it worth their time and effort to do it for you so they can make at least a decent enough wage to consider the pros and cons of working for your cleaning service vs going in to business for themselves when the realization clicks that they are doing most the work while the owner is simply marketing, running to the assessment, buying the supplies and coordinating appointments. You can do that for your own one man show yourself and keep all the money instead of killing yourself for peanuts

I’ve started a Pressure Washing business and it’s just me no employees,I’m the owner and operator. So my question is should I get General Liability Insurance for my business

This has been one of if not the most useful video series on this subject. Thank yall for your time and effort!

Very goof video guys keep them coming

I found this very interesting

very clean explanation, thumbs up guys

Can you guys call me to help me with my business

Great video so so true. I and my wife own a small residential cleaning company in the Tampa Bay area. We got approached by a new construction builder to clean their homes. Thankfully no contract. Well, they pay extremely well however they love to reschedule over and over again. So here we are me and my wife rescheduling our regular weekly and biweekly customers to accommodate this builder who keeps delaying because the plumber is not done the electrician blah blah blah. We finally did the job but never again. We thought we made good money but we didn't because we spent time at home because the builder canceled over and over again. Lesson learned we are sticking with our loyal weekly and biweekly's because, at the end of the day, they are the ones putting food on our table. Great advice I hope other cleaning companies heed it as well.

This is awesome. I agree that a system in place and written down would help out quite a bit. Thanks.

This is gold. Thank you for taking the time to pass this information. I believe you guys are correct and Simon Sinek had it right as well. Start with why. Thanks again.

My husband has been in biz for approximately 3 years: solo. He just aquired 5 Salons and now has to hire. He need to hire more folk. What is the most effective way to get good people?

I just started a cleaning business in Virginia. It's nice to see another company giving advice to help out others rather than being selfish. I really appreciate the information in this video.

i found this video to be inspirational. just perfect.

Since your company doesn't provide company cars. Do you select a Lead Tech to drive their own vehicle and select the tech whos going to be driving with her? How do you set this up?

where are some places to hand out business cards. How do you come up with prices when you doing it on your own?. Does it depend on location, the Sq of the home or the messiness of the home. All the above

if I am sole proprietor is liability insurance enough to cover me or do I also need to be an LLC

Woop woop - my biz also partners with cleaning for a reason! 🌸

Common sense tells me that were we in a warmer climate business would be great all year long. What kind of advice can you give me in regards to this?
