Hey everyone, my name is Keith, and Iām a 26-year-old entrepreneur who owns a growing residential cleaning business. Iāve learned a lot over the years, and I wanted to share some advice that could help take your business to the next level in 2025. One thing that has consistently set my business apart is offering multiple cleaning options. I canāt tell you how many times clients have told me they chose my company over competitors because we gave them options beyond just ābasic cleanā or ādeep clean.ā Our most popular service is what I call a semi-deep cleaning. This option focuses on deep cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms (the areas most prone to build-up), while doing a basic clean for the rest of the home. Clients love it because itās practical and affordable. The key here is giving clients the freedom to choose the level of service they want. Plus, having different price points makes booking a no-brainer. Another tip: charge flat-rate fees instead of hourly rates. Iāve found that clients appreciate knowing exactly what theyāll pay upfront. With flat rates, they donāt have to worry about surprise charges or feeling like the job was rushed because the cleaner was running out of time. It also allows you to price based on the condition and size of the home, which makes it easier to provide a fair and transparent quote. Hereās a small but powerful touch: always give your clients something to remember you by. When we arrive at a clientās home, we hand them something thoughtful like a brochure, referral card, or even just a simple āthank youā card. At the end of the cleaning, we leave them with a small gift, like a $2 candle or new dish sponge. Little gestures like these stick with clients and make your service memorable. Itās an easy way to stand out from other companies theyāve used in the past or might consider in the future.Sweat equity

Referral programs arenāt new, but theyāre becoming a huge part of the home improvement world. Homeowners want trusted pros, and contractors want more jobsāreferrals make that happen. Why They Work People trust word-of-mouth over ads. A referral from a friend or neighbor carries weight, and when companies reward that, itās a win-win for everyone. How People Are Using Them Homeowners save money ā Discounts or perks for referring friends. Contractors grow their business ā More jobs without spending big on ads. Loyalty programs ā Earn rewards for multiple referrals. Community referrals ā Nextdoor, Facebook groups, and forums are full of trusted recommendations. Make It Work for You If you're a contractor, a solid referral program can bring in quality leads without the heavy marketing costs. Try something simpleāoffer $50 off the next project for both the referrer and the new client when they book. Itās an easy way to keep customers coming back while bringing in new ones who already trust your work. Are you currently using a referral program with your business?

Hi all, We are a local fire protection company here in Los Angeles and we do both sales and service of fire extinguishers, as well as specialty fire equipment and resources. I am putting this question out there both for connections and suggestions on best developing power partnership with other local companies that work with residences, properties and businesses, to help collaborate on our services provided and add more value to them and more revenue to both partners. Example of our power partners are roofers, GC's, management companies, HOAs, solar companies, fire and water damage companies, Security and locksmith companies, Insurance agencies... Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions and love to work with you as well, if we could benefit from partnership. This, would be a more effective way to grow our businesses than social media or other passive ways I believe! Payam. Lavi | Supervisor PalFirePro.com
