Cleaning Customers You Can't Please

Angela Brown the House Cleaning Guru
About this episode

Customers you can't please. Are they wrecking your business? When you have customers, you can't please sometimes it's just a gap in your work agreement.

There needs to be teamwork between homeowner priorities and the house cleaner priorities. Another reason Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru recommends using worksheets.
Customers you can't please activate your satisfaction guarantee which cost you your company profit.

End the relationship with the never happy, nit-picky, high-maintenance customers. Solve the problem or move on.


Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner (Maid service training.) HouseCleaning360 (the place to find maids and house cleaners.) Savvy Perks (benefits for house cleaning business owners and their staff.) And My Cleaning Connection (a hub for pro cleaning tips.)
