The Secret to Successful Partnerships in the Cleaning Business
Before I reveal the secret, let me state the following:
1) The secret isn’t limited to the cleaning industry
2) The secret isn’t written on a ‘stone tablet’ – it’s my opinion, based on my personal experience
3) It’s not the only secret, just the one I believe is most important
Ok, that said, here it is – what I believe is – THE secret to having a successful partnership in the cleaning biz:
Sharing Common Principles
…rather than having similar personalities
That’s it.
Put differently, business partners who hold similar values and share similar beliefs about important matters, like:
1) how people should be treated
2) how business should be conducted
3) commitment to persevere
4) commitment to quality, to excellence
… have a far greater chance of succeeding than those who don’t – even if (maybe because) their personalities are quite different.
Here’s the BIG thing…
It’s remarkable how often you’ll see successful business partnerships consisting of two (seemingly) VERY different people, based on personality.
One is analytical
One is outgoing
One is all about the numbers
One is all about the people
One is all about the systems
One is all about the feeling
Yet, if you dig deeper – you quickly realize a TWO important things:
1) They share the same vision, the same principles
2) They not only respect the other business partner despite the difference in personality, perspective and approach – but, actually
…find additional value in the perspective of their business partner BECAUSE OF their different personality and perspective and approach
That’s it. It certainly helped Tony and me, I hope it helps you too.

Look forward to talking to you, Matt, CleanGuru Support 888-531-4878 And, below are some marketing strategies/ideas to keep in mind anytime, but maybe most of all, when in the early years, when you're getting started: As you can imagine, it's a good idea to have an detailed marketing strategy with multiple steps that build one on top of the other to attract clients to CALL YOU, to ask for a bid! However, your specific question was on marketing and growing your cleaning business, and in that area, here are a couple 'keys' steps: 1. Decide on who you want to clean. Rather than a broad, shotgun approach, we suggest cleaning businesses target a certain type of building or customer ( i.e. medical and professional offices that require 3-5 nights per week cleaning that can be performed in the evening after 5 PM.) 2. Once, you determine who you want to clean, we suggest you build a list of companies that meet that criteria. There are many ways to do this. For example, online business list sites can be helpful in doing this. 3. Next, you can call each location to determine the name of the person or persons responsible for hiring the cleaning service at the buildings on your list. 4. Then, we recommend you begin to send a series of powerful direct-response marketing pieces to the attention of the decision maker (the person in charge of hiring the cleaning service) at the businesses on your targeted list, following a preset schedule.
