House Miets and cleaning services are always graeren popularity. The main reason is due to families who work 2 adults /parents in the home. The revised family has no time to clean their homeland. , You need to supplement the family income makes it possible for you to set up a lucrative business.

Ten years, enterprises of this kind were only serve the wealthy - houses of rich people, where people did not want to bother with the drudgery of cleaning house and had the money to pay someone to do it for them. But times have changed, and today's market, many middle-income families in each residential area in the entire country. The potential market among apartment residents is also high. All in all, this is a business that has rapidly and has so much potential for building real wealth than we all think can of.

Cleaning services are usually associated with women owners, but men are finding that they can organize , Launch and operate very profitable home Miets and cleaning companies as well as women. It is an ideal business for all truly ambitious person wants to be a company of its own, especially for those who must begin with limited resources. Actually, you can use this business directly in your own backyard, but with your own equipment, and many items that are already own.

Many corporate initiative housewives are already this kind of work in a small scale as an additional income-producing efforts. There is a growing demand for this service. Organize your efforts in a company produces $ 40000 or more per year is quite possible, and you can go for $ 100 or so, always with your profits to expand and increase your business.

In most cases, no experience is required. Everyone knows how dust on the furniture, vacuum carpets, beds and the implementation of kitsch. But you must ask itself if the house is clean and bright is important and uplifting. If you go to him as degrading or as drudgery, not get involved in this business.

Pricing Its services are always a constant challenge for you. You will learn as you go. The price really depends on you, you provide services and how thoroughly you are. To start, your best bet is to find out what you need to make ends meet each week. Then divide this figure by the number of hours you want to work per week. Then be sure that adding any expenses you will emerge through the work that many hours (ie daycare center, gas, cleaning supplies, insurance, repairs equipment, etc.) and to a little downtime for travel between jobs, sick Days, auto breakdowns, etc.

As a general rule, you should not be less than the $ 12.00 - $ 15.00 (USD) per hour, per person on a job (depending on where in the world you are. Most The cleaning company will charge $ 20 - $ 30 (USD) per hour, per person. This is only a guide, and some parts of the United States or other countries have much different.

Here is an example:
�
A 2-bathroom, 3-bedroom house with a living room, kitchen, dining room, hallways, stairs and a family room, approx. Take 4 hours of work as long as there is not much disorder (always be sure that the reference in the amount of disorder and how dirty /dusty at home if you an estimate and take that under consideration). Hours of work means the time, it is multiplied by the number of people, cleaning. For example� A 4 hours Employment job breaks down like this: 1 person-4 hours, 2 people-2 hours, 3 persons-1, 33 hours, etc.). I personally would not recommend charging station less than $ 15.00 /$ 15.00/hr shop hours would bring this job to $ 60.00 per visit. $ 20.00/hr Laden would bring this job to $ 80.00

You want you sure you free enough to provide a quality service. If a potential customer is trying to reduce their tariffs, they are not worth it. It's ok to be higher than another company than you should never try to attract new clients by only with the lowest price. Always sell the quality of your work rather than the price!
�
customers expect to pay more for cleaning services, offer a quality service and bring their own supplies and equipment. Make sure when you have your own equipment, you have a lot of effort in the search for the right products. Customers such as name brand products used in their homes and offices.
�
customers can also expect to pay more, if your company is insured. The insurance is worth the investment to protect yourself and your company in case something is lost, broken or damaged. It is also a wonderful sale tool.

Remember ... Sell quality, not costs!

Here's an idea for a flyer�.
�
Visit stationery store to pick up a pad of "Fade Out" graph paper, a few sets of transfer (RUB-on) letters, a glue stick, and if they have one, a clip nature book.

Take materials at home and clear from the kitchen table. Take a sheet of graph paper, and the band temporarily corners 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 Gesamtgrae your flyer, if it is for a clip finished.

Look way in which a piece of beleaguered housewife engrossed with either cleaning tools or in the act of running a vacuum cleaner or other household appliances chore. Cut this piece, and with your glue stick paste it into the upper left corner of the rectangle. Then take your transfer letters and make the heading: HOME or cleaning. Next, type the text of the message of the normal white typing paper. Make sure that a relatively new band, preferably a black carbon ribbon and large letters. This strip cut and paste it on the graph paper, centered directly under your headline. Then use a few characters that are about twice as big as your typewriter type, and add the action part of your message: For details, call Sue: 123-4567. Cut a few border blooms from your clip art book, add them under your action, and you are ready to take it to the printer.

In essence, you have a professional advertising "Billboard". You can check in your region, especially with the advertising classes in your local universities, but usually they do not do better than you can do on your own using the instructions we have only you, and you will be charged $ 50 to $ 100.

Now these flyers, along with a box of thumbtacks, and put them on all free bulletin boards to find -- Food shops, laundromats, beauty salons, office buildings lounges, cafes, post offices, and wherever the messages allowed.

Handling customers�
�
If a potential customer calls, have your appointment book and a pencil handy. Be friendly and enthusiastic. Explain what you do - everything from beds to amend the dust eyes, wiping dust and polishing of furniture and cleaning the bathroom on the
�
dishes and the laundry. Or everything except the kitchen and the laundry - whatever you have decided as your policy. If they ask how much you free, just say they need you to see at home and make a detailed estimate for them. Then, without much of a break, ask whether 4:30 this afternoon would be convenient for them, or if 5:30 would be better. You must pointedly ask whether you can come to your proposal costs to a specific date or the decision may be postponed, and you can with a "no sale."

Just when you have an agreement on the time you cost proposal and marked them in your calendar, ask for name, address and telephone number.

Jot this information down on a 3 out of 5 card, along with the date and Notation: potential customers. Then you file this card in a permanent card file. Save these cards, because there are literally hundreds of ways to view this file in real money if you have accumulated a considerable number of names, addresses and telephone numbers.

When you see your perspective in person, always on time. A few minutes earlier will not harm but a few minutes late will definitely be harmful to your closing the sale. Always well prepared. Dress as a successful entrepreneur. Be sure and confident of himself, his knowledge of what you can do, and understanding for the views of the needs and wishes. Do not smoke, even if the prospect of never accept a drink - even coffee - only after you have a signed contract in your briefcase.

Once you have made the sale, the best thing is to shake hands with your new customers Thanks for him or her, and leave. A little small talk after the sale is appropriate, but not too friendly is not. You create an impression and keep them by maintaining a business relationship ship.

When how you for your calculation, take a tablet decided, such as those from the primary school students, carbon paper, a calculator and your appointment book. Some people find it easier, with a shelf and ordinary blank paper
�
carbon. Later, you can contact general checklists printed for every room in the house, with blank lines or space for special instructions.

Whatever you, it's important to appear methodical, thorough and professional, while the prospect of leading the specifics he or she wants, that you have to worry about: "Well, you want the carpet vacuumed and dusted all the furniture and those two end tables, coffee table and polished piano and I suppose?"

Simply identify the specific place at the top of the sheet of paper, then carry out your prospects through the cleaning of the individual steps room for everything in it. Their impact in the implementation of all "ready for business" form will mean that the customer
�
forget about the costs and rent are doing a complete job. Always a carbon paper under each piece of paper in writing, and always Take a look around each room a second time before it, then ask the prospect if he or she can give me a specific instructions, you should note that the room.

Finally if you gone through every room in the house with the prospect, come back into the kitchen and sitting at the table. Take your calculator and add up the time you estimate each job in each room will take. Total time for each room.
�
Be liberal idea that if you can do the carpet job in 15 minutes, it will usually take the normal person, 30 minutes. Convert the total minutes for every room in hours and tenths of seconds of hours per room. Add the totals for each room to your total hours to clean the entire house.

Talk with your customer just ask, how can they ever find the time to do everything at home, especially when holding a full-time job. A little small talk, a quick mental evaluation of the customer is able to pay, and your knowledge that everything is done in four hours instead of six hours, it would most people.

Here is an example of a typical conversation between You and the potential client:

"Well, Mrs. Johnson, you certainly have enough routine cleaning work to keep you busy all day every day of the week! I certainly do not know how to do it, but any way, Will we take this all your problems shoulders, you save time, and actually gives you time to relax. We charge $ 100 for monthly visits, or $ 80.00 for two weeks visits.

"I can well imagine how tired you are, if you work at home. If you are like me, there are times when light of all this homework, you want to run away and hide somewhere. Well, we'll take care of everything for you - keep the house and sPic
�
span, ready for businesses that allow you to forget housecleaning chores and for much less than it costs you now that at the time, work and worry. And we guarantee that our work will be more than fulfilled. So, would you like to try our cleaning service once for $ 75 or do you want to save $ 15 a call and we take all these tasks for you on a regelmaigen basis? "

Here begin to find a place in your calendar, and tell her:" Actually, I have an opening at 8:30 am Tuesday morning. We could come in any other Tuesday at 8:30, clean the whole house and have it done before going to work from home. "

The Customer agrees that 8:30 am Tuesday, well. Then ask them whether they prefer to invoice with the completion of each house cleaning session regelmaigen or on a monthly basis. Point out to her, that the involvement of you on a monthly basis, it takes
�
a free house cleaning every three months.

Now that your first customer, you want to fill every day of the week, every week of every month with regular jobs. After a week of each month filled with regular jobs, it is time for you to expand.

Expansion means growth, in which people work for you, to sell more jobs and higher profits. Do not frighten you, for you have experience, step by step. After all - your goal to set up a separate company was to make money, is not it? And the expansion means more helpers, so you do not have to work yourself to death!

You this business can be quite successful from the comfort of your home, permanently, if you choose to. All you ever need is a telephone, a desk, and a file cabinet.

So as soon as you possibly can, recruit and hire other people to do the work for you. The first people you should hire people to get the cleaning work. The best plan is to hire people to work in teams of two or three - two for jobs not including dishwashing and laundry - three for those who can start do.

You these people on minimum wage or a little before, and they train to assignment of all jobs in two hours or less. As soon as you have hired and trained a few people as a cleaning team, you should dress them in a kind of uniform with your company name on the back of their blouses or shirts. A good idea would be that magnetic signs for your company and services. Insert these marks on the sides of the cars your people use for the Transport in every workplace, and later the pages
�
your company van or pick-up trucks.

Each team should have appointed a team leader responsible for the quality and completeness of all of the jobs assigned to the team. The team could work: One person cleans the bathroom and kitchen, while the other person, dust and polishes the furniture and does the vacuuming. On the jobs where the laundry and the dishes, the third person can pick up the laundry and get started, and then do the dishes and clean the kitchen. By operating in this way, your work will be more efficient and complete the job will be much less time. However, it is important that every person you hire understand that the success of the company depends on the "occupation" does complete as many jobs as they can every day - and not how much they are paid per hour working you.

Your team to state and government leaders will examine with you every afternoon for the next day's work and tasks gather the team together, complete with cleaning equipment and materials, in the next day. The team leader should with a stack of "hand-out" advertising flyers to the neighborhood around or inside the apartment building before leaving each site. A good supply of business cards would not be a bad idea for them either to your services to other come into contact with. The
�
only other form of advertising you would have a display in the yellow pages of your telephone directory.

Design on paper a system of remediation, can generally be in any situation, then drill your teams to accelerate their activities to make the system work even better. Just as firefighters practice and practice, you should use your drill people as a team in their cleaning activities.

Probably the graten time-wasters in this business is in the travel industry job change. For this reason, it is important to distribute advertising circulars to the neighboring houses, if you do a job, or the dwellings on the same floor, if you are in a residential house. As the organizer, and person assigning teams to jobs, it will behoove you to seek to attach jobs and are as close as possible. Keep up efforts to reduce the time required for your team to travel from one job to another. The work in the feed until all jobs in a block or in an apartment building.

One of the most important aspects of this business is to ask your customers and to refer other prospects to you. All of this happens, of course, as a result of your type fast, reliable service. It could even a promotional note on the back of your business card (respectively, as each job is completed) offers five U.S. dollars from clean their next bill if they refer you to a new prospect.

Good luck!
