My name is X from X Cleaning co and I just wanted to reach out and see how everything is going with your current cleaning provider? *Pause and wait for a reply* GM - It's going pretty well. Thanks. You - That's awesome, X. That's always the best-case scenario. We're offering some huge value to new customers right now. Any chance you'd like to meet and hear a little bit about that? While I'm there I can provide you with a quote on our services? I'd only need about 15 minutes of your time. *This is going to be a yes or no reply. If he or she replies yes, schedule a time that works for both parties. If they say no, which most will, we pivot* GM - No, thanks. We're quite happy at the moment. You - I understand that, and it's great to hear things are going well with your current cleaning provider. Would you be okay with me sending you some information to keep on file? Just in case your current cleaning provider hits the lotto and you end up in a pickle? GM - Sure that would be fine. That's great. Can I go ahead and get your email and I'll have somebody send that right over? You can send it to XXXXXXX Thanks, X. It was a pleasure chatting and I am going to go ahead and get you some information on our services as well as our current promotions. Take care. * You can drop off an information packet or brochure in person, then use the email as a second touch. Or start by sending the information by email if you're fully remote. Your choice*

We assumed you were going to give us a price break on the rent after those free ice cream cones - what gives?

I think I paid around $3,000 over a year for SEO to move up the rankings on Google for commercial cleaning It created a lot of opportunity in terms of inbound calls I’d assume that SEO work would have cost me at least $10,000 if I were to hire somebody from X/Twitter

Blogs posts: This was the first thing I tried. I now have a few months' worth of blog content for our website that we can sprinkle out as needed. What a blessing as writing blogs for a commercial cleaning company is like stepping on Lego. Oof.

This is how i'd transition from Residential Cleaning into Commercial Cleaning to take a swing at landing the $2,000 - $30,000 commercial accounts: I was just talking to @thedavescience about getting commercial jobs in Seattle. He's using cold calling and cold email which is how I landed my first few accounts. Solid start. He's even using the script I posted on here like 2 years ago which landed me my first 6-figure account.  Looking at his website and GMB profile, the first thing I noticed was this: his GMB profile is designed for residential cleaning, not commercial. No surprise, as he runs a residential cleaning company. There are two things you need to get commercial customers... 1. Cold outreach 2. SEO with a GMB account designed specifically for commercial cleaning The $10,000 MRR trucking account isn't inviting residential cleaning companies to quote, they're going to call the GMB profiles that scream "I have experience in what you're looking for." Look at picture 1 Seattle Commercial outranks Ladonna's Cleaning Service and The Dazzle Cleaning Service with just 13 reviews compared to their combined 900 reviews. I asked @irentdumpsters if this is because of their name, and he confirmed it is. I also believe it's because Google wants to present their customer (the searcher) with the most relevant information possible. All of Seattle Commercial's pictures on their GMB profile are of commercial jobs, while the other 2 companies display pictures of homes. If you're looking to transition into commercial cleaning, here's what I recommend... - Build a GMB profile that resembles picture 2 with an SEO-stuffed name... "Viral Commercial Cleaning Seattle" or "Seattle Commercial Cleaning Pros" - Optimize the profile to show that you only do commercial cleaning - Upload pictures of janitorial equipment and commercial buildings - Build a new website specifically for commercial cleaning With an SEO-stuffed name and more reviews than Seattle Commercial (which only has 13), you could potentially take that top spot sooner than you think for "Commercial cleaning services, Seattle" Google searches. Where to Start Getting Commercial Clients... Restaurants are the easiest jobs to get from my experience. They're typically the worst for the most part as well, but they will: - Teach you how to quote - Get you reviews - Provide references when quoting other commercial jobs From there, start reaching out to commercial builders for construction cleans. This would be the easiest way to accumulate reviews fast as they are one-time jobs, and each company you work with can give you a review. In short, this is the game plan... - Create a new name/entity - Build a new GMB profile/website - Cold call low-hanging fruit - Invest in SEO as soon as your budget allows Once you've learned how to accurately quote commercial jobs and have built up some experience, direct your cold calling campaign at the more profitable clients. Focus on... - Medical and dental clinics - Car dealerships - Daycares - Corporate offices - Professional services (law firms, accounting offices) These clients typically have larger budgets, more consistent needs, and can become long-term sources of stable revenue.

Knew it would have been TikTok. You can’t do or say anything on that app without catching a strike. It was an awesome video btw.

Aren’t you embarrassed? A lady asks me while giving me a haircut. This was in response to her previous question - which was what I did for a living. I told her I started and operate a small cleaning company. I still think about that interaction from time to time.

Hired a photographer and model to do the same for our commercial cleaning company. Added the photos to our $206 website. I think it made a big difference for our tiny company, everybody else was using stock photos.

Literally learning this right now. The work I put into getting a janitorial company to 300k ARR was tough. Slow to delegate and inexperienced. Hiring fast and delegating as much as possible early has made my life 100x easier with my second business. It’s the only way.

Tip for cleaning companies: Training your Remote Ops Manager to think like you. Daily video calls with your new cleaning company ops manager are key for the first month at minimum. But don't just review the task list. Instead: "Here are today's priorities, BUT let me share what I'm seeing: We've got a 20% surge in bookings and our cleaning staff is maxing out on availability. I'm planning to run hiring ads this week before we hit capacity issues." This teaches them your thought process, not just inputs. Do this daily for 3 weeks. Then flip it: "What areas need our attention this week?" Soon they'll say things like: "I noticed our cleaning team is reaching capacity with these new contracts. I've already posted ads on ZipRecruiter and Facebook to start filling our pipeline before it becomes an issue." You're not delegating tasks. You're delegating thinking. The goal? They spot issues before they reach your desk, thinking about growth, not just maintenance. Your ops manager should eventually be telling YOU what needs attention before you see it coming. Good ops managers don't wait for instructions, they take action. ------------------ We work with a lot of cleaning companies.

How to hire remote employees from the Philippines for $5-$8/hour. I've made 100+ hires using this guide. (DIY GUIDE) Introduction Your hiring funnel is broken if you're not considering global talent. Here's my exact system for hiring A+ remote workers on Onlinejobs | PH at 70-80% cost reduction: ----------------- Preparation Before posting: Create a company profile that stands out. Include your LinkedIn, company website, and actual photos. Filipino professionals avoid employers with blank profiles. This step alone puts you ahead of 70% of employers. Buy the 10-job post package, not the 3-job package. This isn't just about quantity. The real advantage: you can post different versions of the same role targeting different regions, experience levels and skills to find the perfect match. The ROI difference between 3 job posts and 10 is massive. Test multiple compensation rates: Post identical positions at different rates ($6/hr, $7/hr, $8/hr) to see if there's a quality difference in candidates. This A/B testing reveals the optimal price-to-quality ratio for your specific role. Often, the jump from $6 to $8 yields minimal quality improvement. Often, but not always. ------------------ Job Posting Strategy First, craft your job post with a TRAP: "Include the word 'blueberry' in your response to show you read this post." This instantly filters out 80% of copy/paste applicants and shows who pays attention to detail. Make the JD crystal clear on RESULTS expected, not just tasks. "You'll handle 30 customer inquiries daily with 90% satisfaction" > "Handle customer service." Specificity attracts specific talent. Require a ONE-MINUTE video introduction. Non-negotiable. This filters for English fluency, confidence, and tech-savvy candidates in one step. Ask them to explain why they're ideal for THIS specific role. Compensation: Skip the BS "competitive salary" talk. List the actual rate you want to pay ($5). Philippines talent values CLARITY over false promises of future raises. Mention stable, long-term work—that's worth more than a slightly higher rate. Work hours: Be explicit about expected overlap with your time zone. "Need 4 hours overlap with US Eastern Time" is better than "flexible schedule." The right candidates will self-select based on lifestyle compatibility. ------------------ Application Filtering Filtering process: - Delete anyone who missed the "blueberry" test (80% will) - Delete anyone who sent no video (half the remainder) - Check IDs against OnlineJobs skill scores (ignore anyone below 7/10 in relevant skills) - You now have serious candidates only -------------------- 3-Step Interview Process Level 1 Interview (15 minutes) Interview the top 5 candidates from your job postings with these questions: - What systems would you implement in this role? - When have you pushed back on a manager? - What's the biggest mistake you've made professionally? - Walk me through how you'd handle [specific scenario in the role] - How many tubes of lipstick do you think are sold each year in Manila? [See how they think] The winners will focus on RESULTS not activities. They'll have specific examples, not vague answers. They'll ask intelligent questions about YOUR business. Pay attention to communication style and problem-solving approach. Skills Test (24-hour turnaround) Send candidates a skills test relevant to the role, to be completed within 24 hours. The truly great ones will OVERDELIVER even at this stage. Give them something similar to actual work they'd do, not busy work. See how they handle feedback. Level 2 Interview (30-60 minutes) For finalists who passed the skills test, conduct a deeper 30-60 minute interview: - Review their skills test and discuss their approach - Explore how they'd handle specific challenges in your business - Discuss their long-term career goals and how they align with your needs - Verify their equipment: internet speed (minimum 25 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload), computer specs, and backup power solutions ------------------ ID and Background Verification Request candidates to submit a valid government-issued ID for verification. Cross-check with their profile information. This step is crucial to prevent identity fraud and ensure you're hiring a real person with verifiable credentials. Conduct basic background checks through the OnlineJobs | PH platform. Review their employment history for consistency and check references from previous employers when possible. -------------------- Trial Week Trial week: Pay $100 for a 10-hour test project. ------------------ Setup & Onboarding Payment setup: Use Wise for direct transfers. Lower fees than PayPal, better rates than bank wires. Set a consistent payment schedule—reliability matters more than frequency. Onboarding: Document EVERYTHING. Create video SOPs for all processes. Set clear KPIs from day one. The first 2 weeks determine the next 2 years of performance. Daily check-ins for the first month. 5-minute calls or Google Meet check-ins. Then scale back to weekly. Use Loom for asynchronous updates that don't disrupt workflow. ------------------- Hiring Decision Hire decisively. Don't drag it out or overthink. The best talent gets scooped up in days, not weeks. Good talent would rather take a lower offer from a decisive employer than wait for a maybe. ------------------- Cultural Insights Biggest mistake: Calling them "VAs" instead of their actual role. They're CSRs, Project Managers, Developers who happen to work remotely. Dignity and proper job titles cost you nothing but deliver massive ROI. Filipino professionals value: - Clear communication - Respect - Job stability - Relationship before task - Direct but kind feedback Get these right and they'll run through walls for you. --------------------- ROI & Competitive Advantage The companies winning right now are leveraging this global talent arbitrage while their competitors overpay for local mediocrity. This isn't outsourcing—it's building a global team. Your $6/hr Philippines hire will outwork your $25/hr domestic employee. This isn't theory. This is what I've seen across 100+ placements. The hunger differential is real. --------------------- Final Thoughts This system works. I've placed 100+ of Filipino professionals with US companies who are scaling while their competitors struggle with labor costs. The arbitrage is real and it's spectacular. The talent arbitrage window won't stay open forever. But right now, it's the single biggest advantage available to small businesses willing to think globally. The companies who master this now will outpace their competition for years.

Let’s clear the air: I went to the Philippines and asked many men their daily earnings/wages. When you trash somebody for hiring in PH for $5 - $6 per hour. What you’re saying is you’re oblivious to the reality out there. $6 per hour in the Philippines is a game changer.

A young guy in Vancouver went from $0-$20,000 the month he launched his residential cleaning business. While working a full time sales job. The man can hustle.

SEO helped me bag this 6k MRR commercial cleaning account. This is the post construction clean. Love that view from the window. Summer in Canada.

Some of the cleaning business owners on this app are pure class. 3 owners we’ve recently helped hire offshore: 1. @pjmcgeary 2. @ianncushing 3. @becomeamannow These guys are all crushing and it’s a pleasure to watch it unfold in public. Thanks for consider us!

SEO breakdown Initial payment: $1,500 4-6 months later… Maintenance payment: $300/month This allowed me to quote recurring accounts from: $300 MRR $30,000 MRR And everything in between Industry: Commercial cleaning Service area: 100,000 population

Entrepreneurship is all about finding the right balance between anxiety and caffeine. Master that and you'll crush your goals. I'm only half joking here.

I had a good time using this tool. The humor added to the template asking for Google reviews was special and unexpected. Very excited to use these templates moving forward as they created a very fun and playful tone for our company.

We have identified our 3 main customers for commercial cleaning. - Car dealerships - Daycare facilities - Medical clinics Print ads for each niche are close to finished. Now we scape info for all locations to set up direct mail with Canada Post.

More residential cleaning companies should start thinking about pivoting to commercial. I was able to secure multiple 6 figure contracts and was invited to quote a $30,000/month casino account. You will never see this type of action in residential.

$300,000 ARR can be done with 11 accounts and 7 subcontractors in the commercial cleaning industry.

IMO $2,500 MRR commercial cleaning contracts are the sweet spot. These would be: - Medical Clinics - Dance Studios - Day Care Facilities - Restaurants Don't spend all of your energy chasing the whale accounts.
