It's All In A Day's Work

The cleaning business is a tough job; but somebody's gotta do it. I am happy to say that I've been helping busy people find more time to do the things they really want to do for over a quarter of a century (wow, I sound old) at Buckets & Bows Maid Service in Lewisville, TX!

The professional housecleaning industry is booming in the United States and there are no signs that it will be slowing down any time soon. To the contrary. More and more people are opting for "quality of life" over "a penny saved........" and are investing in the "must haves" like maid service. This trend is getting stronger as a generation that never had to clean their own room is growing up and having families of their own. Business owners are discovering that finding clients is the easy part! Although Marketing for a thriving business takes careful planning and skill, it's typically not the hard part of owning a cleaning service. The hard part is finding, hiring, training and then retaining the best staff. But just as soon as you think you've got that tiger by the tail another issue will surface, then another, then another. My blog will explore all the elements of running a successful residential cleaning service. Maybe someone will be inspired to grow their business to a size they never imagined. Maybe someone will decide they don't have to "throw in the towel" after all. Or maybe someone will just be encouraged because there are people who actually enjoy helping others fulfill their dreams. As a business consultant to maid service owners all over the country, trying to grow and improve their residential cleaning service, I love helping people fill in those gaps, stop the bleeding and plug up those profit leaks! Spread the word if you know anyone who owns a cleaning service and needs help, send them to me! www.themaidcoach.com
