Amazing Upsells to Offer Your Cleaning Clients Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

Do you have amazing upsells to offer your cleaning clients but aren't sure where to start?

Keep track of your upsells and invoicing with HousecallPro.com/Angela.

Odd jobs can keep the money coming in during slow times if you're a professional house cleaner. There are different types of upsells that range from gardening, yardwork, and other forms of landscaping.

Your work doesn't have to end as a maid service if you're a solo operator.

Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner Training (for house cleaners and maids.) And Housecall Pro.

Cleaning By Myself - Can I Be Successful Mar 27, 2020

Show notes

Cleaning by myself - can I be successful? House cleaners and maids want to know.

#AngelaBrown says yes you can moonlight as a house cleaner and run a domestic cleaning service. You MUST consider business vs. hobby when being a solo operator.

Cleaning houses involves a lot of routine cleaning and repetition cleaning is boring. You can earn extra money cleaning houses even cleaning with no employees.

Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsor is Savvy Cleaner Training. (Online #cleaning courses to grow your residential cleaning business.)
