Hello from Iowa! Pre-launch tips for a new cleaning service?

  • Hey everyone! My name is Lasha, and I'm the owner of Hustle & Shine Cleaning Services based out of Davenport, Iowa. We are currently getting everything lined up for our official services launch this month, and I am incredibly excited to get out there and start signing contracts!Right now, I'm balancing the launch of my business with my day job as a professional package delivery driver, so I'm learning a lot about time management and hustle firsthand.As I prepare to officially open our doors for service, I’d love to hear from the veterans in this group: What is the one piece of advice you wish someone had given you in the weeks leading up to your official business launch?Looking forward to connecting and learning from you all!

  • Here are some tips to help you for a successful launch.

    Do not be the cheapest option in Davenport. Set profitable rates from day one; it is incredibly difficult to raise prices on clients later.

    Get a software like Jobber or Housecall Pro immediately. Let it automate booking, reminders, and invoicing while you work your delivery 

    ​Contact local real estate agents and property managers now. They need fast turnaround move-out cleans, which provides instant, recurring contract work.

    ​Give yourself a massive time buffer between jobs. In your first month, being flawlessly reliable is more important than being fast.
