I needed this big time. I'm not exactly a house cleaner, I usually come here for general cleaning tips, but your business advice is usually good for business, in general. I'm branching out into my own business alone right now and I get a bit unsure of myself, at times. Sometimes I really just have to fake confidence until I'm psyched enough to really be confident because being timid and fearful in my approach has a big impact on my success rate. When I come at things with strong faith in my ability and God's, should my own fail me, things seem to work out much smoother and fruitfully.

I feel just like you ! I prayed and went to a house and decided to to charge by the work the client wanted. But I got nervous e at the end and had no idea how much or how long it would take to charge one prize for the kitchen and 2 bathrooms in a half. So then I just said I would do it by the hour and it was 10 hours only the kitchen one toilet bathroom and started the master bathroom. And I made 350 at 35 and hour and I told her it might take 6 hours but boy was I wrong it would take about 14 hours

@AskAngelaBrown23 күн бұрын
You are correct, we do use the clients sweeper and vacuum. Mop pads we can wash in the washing machine so we do in most cases bring our own mop - knowing we are preventing cross contamination from house to house. Many cleaners buy the client a mop when they sign up and leave the mop at their home. That is another option. And, you're right, streamlining the stuff you carry into a customer's home makes good sense.

Why bonded , insurance when the home owners have home insurance that covers anything that is stolen or damaged
@AskAngelaBrown23 күн бұрын
If you were a homeowner would you take the risk of hiring an unbonded, uninsured electrician, plumber, roofer, carpet installer, cleaner, etc. with the assumption if they damaged something, their work was inferior, or they stole something from you that it's no big deal because you have home owners insurance? Probably not, you would want them to stand good for the job they did, warranty their work, and know that if something malfunctioned, it's on them, and they will stand good for it, rather than leaving you high and dry to take care of it on your own, and have your insurance premiums go up - not theirs because they are under insured? Does that make sense? Being properly insured reduces the stress, worry and risk of a homeowner hiring you.

An hour seems like a long time. I clean a space that size in 20 minutes, 30-35 if it’s a deep clean (my own bathroom).

+The Dog Daddy Channel no. Only house cleaning. There is however a guy I recommend if you are doing commercial his name is Steve Hanson and he is with thejanitorialstore.com he has a KZbin channel as well. 👍👍👍

I believe the first 6 years we were able to offer it free on Amazon, but to stay on their marketplace, they changed our price finally. It's no different I guess than a cleaning business, you can only give so much away free but eventually have to charge to stay in business. And kudos to Amazon, they are now the world's 2nd largest retailer right behind Walmart. Ref: nrf.com/blog/look-2022-top-50-global-retailers

I have a ? Though. ..when does the customer pay ? What if you clean and they end up not paying after you have cleaned? Any tips and ideas there ? How you guys do this
@AskAngelaBrown4 жыл бұрын
If you are just starting a cleaning business you do a "walkthrough" with the customer before the job starts. This is where you give the customer an estimate of how long the job will take and how much it will cost. Then you agree to a price and a form of payment. Many house cleaners collect a credit card on file and charge it after the job is done and once the customer approves of the work.

So the training program, you have to pay 97 dollars per each training section correct? And there is 192 training programs? So to get tips from you, we have to pay a 100 dollars each time? I went on website and that is what I saw. I already ordered book and read. I am needing a list for cleaning supplies now.

Hi and thanks for watching. Residential cleaning is my comfort zone but I've got a good buddy Steve Hanson from The Janitorial Store bit.ly/JanitorialStore who has been in commercial cleaning for 30 some years. He is the go-to guy for all things commercial cleaning. And if you speak with him tell him I sent you, he'll give you the Angela Brown VIP treatment. :-

@@vanessatheurbantarotgoddes2192 Bonding and insurance is protecting yourself against claims by the homeowner. Bumping into a vase and breaking it, using the wrong detergent on their clothes, ruining their stainless steel. 95+% of claims can be avoided by being careful and knowledgeable about what to use when, but you don’t want to be faced with a horrible review and potentially end up in court over damage. Even if it is accidental, you are still on the hook!

Hi Angela, I love your videos. Whenever, I have time I watch your videos. I started cleaning business around 1.5 months ago. My target customers are rich. But, Random customers request for quote I do not these random customers are rich or not. I quote a bit less than my competitors. But still customers think that my prices are too high. As, there are companies who charge $60 for 3 bedroom house for regular clean. But, my competitors are who charge $99 for 3 bedroom house anything extra the price would be extra too. I provide 100% customer satisfaction. I provide best services. The minimum pay rate in New Zealand is 19.00 per hour. So, $60 is nothing because I will not have holiday pay, sick leave etc and I have to pay tax as well. I am wondering where should I go to find rich clients. Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
@AskAngelaBrown4 жыл бұрын
This is a problem that occurs on a global scale. Everybody wants cleaning for cheap - even the rich and famous. That said, you have to market your services in a way that helps your customers buy from you on value not price.

She seriously thinks she’s going to clean five or six homes in a day by herself? Never will happen. She never mentioned anything about getting licensing or insurance. That’s first and foremost before starting the business. Most important thing. Good information, Angela! How I came up with my business name was….. My name is Tobee. I started my business with myself and one employee so I named the business….. Two Bees Cleaning Service 😊 TOBEE=TWOBEES 😂🤷🏼♀️

When you go on a walkthrough I recommend you give the client an estimate for how much you will charge to clean their home. Check out this playlist on walkthroughs: kzbin.info/aero/PLh1fKdNH3piQZL88sKjQArtkEa9C1ruyM
