Are You Earning the Most from Your House Cleaning Jobs?
It’s great when you have a base of clients you service on a
regular schedule. And if you’re running your house cleaning business for
maximum profit, then you know you have to have a base set
of tasks that you perform. But how can you earn more from
these clients? After all it costs you advertising dollars
to go out and get more clients.
Why should you have a base set of tasks? Because if you
don’t, your client is always going to ask for more, and they
won’t want to pay for it.
When your client asks for extra tasks to be done during
their scheduled house cleaning service, you need to be ready with a way to
charge for these extras. Time is money and I′m sure you
have already quoted them a standard fee for their regular
service so the extra fee is justified.
Have a list ready of your add-on services with the
corresponding price. This establishes the credibility of
the add-on service and the price you have established.
With this in hand, your client will be ready to discuss
the service and agree upon a date. You can add this on
to their next scheduled appointment or set aside a specific
date and time.
If you always give away service, you will never grow your
house cleaning business. To grow your business, you must always be
thinking ahead for ways you can improve your house cleaning service and
increase your profits. Owning a business is a work in progress with no specific end; just
annual tune-ups that are needed along the way.
