This is a business generally associated with women, but many men are finding that they can organize, start, and operate profitable home and apartment cleaning businesses just as well as women. It's an ideal business for any truly ambitious person wanting a business of his or her own, especially for those who must begin with limited funds. Actually, you can start this business right in your own neighborhood, using your own equipment, and begin making a profit from the first day. Take these materials home and clear off your kitchen table. Take a sheet of graph paper, and temporarily tape the corners down on the table. Then take a pencil and a ruler, and mark a rectangle five inches wide and six inches long along the lines of the graph paper. This will be the overall size of your flyer when it's finished. Once you have this advertising flyer completed, take it to a nearby quick print shop and have copies made. You should be able to get two copies on a standard sheet, and running 100 sheets of paper through the press is going to cost very little. Cut them in half with the machine cutter. When you go to make your cost estimate, take along a ruled tablet such as those used by elementary school students, carbon paper, a calculator and your appointment book. Some people find it easier to work with a clipboard and ordinary blank paper with carbon. Later on, you may want to have general checklists printed up for each room in the house, with blank lines and spaces for special instructions. Now that you have your first customer, you want to fill every day of the week, each week of every month with regular jobs. Once you have one week of each month filled with regular jobs, it will be time for you to expand.
Your team leaders will check with you each afternoon for the next day's work assignments and gather the team together, complete with cleaning supplies and material, on the next day. Your team leader should be supplied with a stack of "hand-out" advertising flyers to pass around the neighborhood or within the apartment building before leaving each job site. A good supply of business cards wouldn't be a bad idea for them either, in order to advertise your services to others they come in contact with. The only other form of advertising you should go with would be a display ad in the yellow pages of your telephone directory.
One of the most important aspects of this business is asking for, and allowing your customers to refer other prospects to you. All this happens, of course, as a result of your giving fast, dependable service.
