Most cleaning companies don't have a lead problem. They have a conversion problem — and it hides in plain sight:
-
Calls get answered, but not led — so the caller shops three more companies.
-
Price comes up too early, and the conversation ends before value is ever built.
-
Estimates go out… and nobody follows up.
-
Every salesperson does it their own way, so results swing wildly month to month.
-
Nobody is listening to actual calls, so nobody knows where the money leaks.
-
Owners are stuck being the best salesperson in the company — permanently.
Here's the part that stings: you're paying to generate those leads either way. Whether they convert is what decides whether marketing is an expense or an investment.
Two owners. $10 million in revenue. One sales system your team can actually run.
Sales University is live, ongoing, hands-on sales coaching for residential cleaning companies — taught by the Debbie Sardone and Emma Arzate, who between them have built two of the largest independently owned cleaning companies in the country!
Bring your team, bring your real calls, and leave every month with skills you can use on the next lead.
