The Real Reason You Didn't Get the Job (House Cleaning Bids)

Want to know the real reason you didn't get the job? House cleaning bids or job estimates often come down to price.

The customer will say "You charge too much." Or, "I can't afford your service." It may be a version of "I don't make that much per hour...your price is too high."

The real reason you didn't get the job is you don't know your market, or you don't know how to adjust your offer.

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says you have to sell what people are buying. And you can only do that if you know your audience and know what you're selling.

Why We Call Cleaning Jobs "Clients" Not Customers

Want to know why we call cleaning jobs "clients" not customers? Many house cleaners call them accounts, jobs, houses or cleans. At Savvy Cleaner Training, we teach residential cleaning techs to call jobs clients not customers. There is mutual respect and a professional perception that comes with titles or labels. Customers behave like clients when you refer to them as such and maids are frugal with their time if they see a job as billable hours.
