Quick question, I'm curious what is standard and how y'all manage this. In our contracts we have Holiday's listed that we do not work on. When a cleaning day falls on a holiday do y'all schedule the clean for a different day that week, or just skip it all together?

Hey all, I am interested to know how many clients you currently have since starting and what are some strategies you have in place for getting initial walk-throughs? Currently pending my first client, which has taken a month and I am mainly emails. I am very reserved with going into properties and I need to get over the hurdle of making phones. But I am thinking of attending some vendor and networking events. My goal is to obtain 10 clients within the next 6 months. Let me know if this is too small or too ambitious of a goal.

I have a former coaching client who came up with a cool idea. She suggested that I create a pricing challenge with this community. I'd create a fictional (or maybe even a real) scenario, throw it out to this group, and see who gets closest to that price. It wouldn't be reward-based since we all can come up with a price and we all could be correct provided the price is profitable. But this way we could work through a price together and see how we each do things differently based on our pricing strategy.

Hello, I have a referral for a residential post-construction cleaning client. After submitting my bid—which included post-construction cleaning, internal and external window cleaning, and power washing a 300 sq. ft. area near the pool—the client said my quote was too high. He believes the job should take no more than a day to a day and a half, noting that the interior is mostly clean and that the primary focus is on the windows. His suggested budget is less than half of what I originally quoted. He also mentioned that after final fixes, the painters, floor finishers, and plumbers would clean up after themselves. He offered to send photos for a revised quote instead of having me visit the property again, as it’s about an hour away. I’m hesitant to rely solely on pictures, as I don't want to commit to a quote without a clear understanding of the actual workload. Additionally, I’m uncomfortable with the client estimating how long the job should take, as it may not be accurate. If I do proceed with a quote based on photos, I’m considering including a clause that states the price is subject to change after an in-person inspection. Any thoughts or recommendations on how to navigate this?
