great advice! I landed my first commercial account by cold calling. I simply said. "hi this is Chris, I own an office cleaning business, can I offer my services to you?" and he said "yes" right away! lol I think he sensed I was young, and he did need a better cleaner. beginners luck perhaps. that was an old historic house and he turned each room upstairs into its own unit for rent. A lawyer was the main guy who owns it.

Nice! Cold calling can produce good results, people just need the confidence to do it...and get no over and over again lol. We have a new video coming out soon where Matt will be cold calling customers live on camera. Wish us luck! It should be a good one.

Just got my first contract on a building I had cleaned back when I worked for the actual company who owns the building. I knew it took me about 25 hours a week I closed them at $4200 a month

I just discovered you today on KZbin, and I think the content is fantastic! Question: When bidding, do you have to provide equipment to clean, or will they mainly offer it? What about cleaning products? Do you put the cost of that in the price, too? Thank you. That would be an excellent video to put out! 😊

How long do you recommend between an accepted bid and starting the job? Assuming you'd need to hire more employees and prepare the materials needed to clean that specific job.

If everything goes to plan, it usually will take us two weeks before starting a new account. BUT that is if everything aligns perfectly and that doesn't happen often. When you deal with schools and medical facilities for example, they can have really strict insurance requirements and review processes that can take months sometimes. Some accounts will want you to start right away, but you need to make sure to manage expectations by explaining your processes with the customer and be realistic with the time frame you are promising. Hope this helps!
