Never Hear ‘I Want to Cancel My Weekly Cleaning Service’ Again

December 11, 2023 | By Sharon Tinberg

There is nothing more devastating for a residential cleaning company to hear more than these seven words: “I want to cancel my weekly service.”

This news is especially devastating if you are a start-up residential cleaning company when every single client is necessary to your survival. Losing a repeat client is also often the reason why a company cannot get over the US$600,000 gross revenue threshold. It seems that every time you sell a repeat client, you lose an existing one. When you are stuck in this mode, it is difficult to move forward.

Your repeat clients provide the consistency needed to break the $600,000 company growth plateau. The logistics alone for setting up and arriving at a new client’s home can be laborious and time intensive. There is not enough time in one day to sell enough one-time clients to reach a million dollars in revenue per year.

For your residential cleaning business to truly succeed, you need to focus on repeat clients. A repeat client can be simple, they are automatically scheduled and billed. All you need to do is arrive on time and clean what you say you are going to clean. Sounds simple? Yes.

  • IF your cleanings are consistent.
  • IF there are not complaints.
  • THEN spending time scheduling the redo.
  • THEN recleaning it.
  • AND NOT generating new revenue.

If I am telling your story perhaps it is time to look for a new solution. The House Cleaning Process and Procedure Training from ISSA Residential is your answer to quality training to ensure you don’t receive complaints and turn new clients into repeat clients.
