    LOVE this podcast! I only found it a few months ago and I have already listened to every single episode. Stephanie is so helpful and I even recently had a consult call with her which is putting me on a path to growing my business even further! Today the podcast was on commercial cleaning and I am doing my first commercial walk through this Friday!

  • Great Podcast for Cleaning Business Owners!

    Stephanie does a great job helping business owners dig in and gain valuable information to help them build their businesses! I’ve listened to several episodes as I launch my business and it has given me so many great tips! PS I just listened to the Roasting Myself episode and I think Stephanie could benefit from a kanban board to stop starting and start finishing. My corporate job has taught me how to have an agile mindset and I also plan to carry that over to my business. It’s like an adhd hac... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#124: Samantha Price on Post-Construction Cleaning 101
Q: What advice would you give someone trying to win their first post-construction job?
Be proactive in outreach (cold calling/emailing), attend sites in person when possible, build relationships with contractors, and be willing to adjust pricing to win the first job while delivering solid results to earn future opportunities.
#124: Samantha Price on Post-Construction Cleaning 101
Q: What are the key phases in a post-construction project, and how do you price them?
Phases include rough cleaning, final cleaning, and touch-ups. Pricing typically starts with a lower rough bid to win the project, then final pricing reflects the more thorough cleanup; production rates vary by project type and site conditions, and plans are reviewed to refine estimates.
#120: How Kai DeMoss Went From a Gig App Cleaner to Real Clients in San Francisco
Q: How did you transition away from Homeaglow and attract your first clients on your own?
Kai describes raising prices to trigger platform bookings drop, implementing a booking form, leveraging Facebook groups, door-hanging, and then using targeted community networking (LGBTQ Chamber, GGBA) to land early clients and build momentum.
#120: How Kai DeMoss Went From a Gig App Cleaner to Real Clients in San Francisco
Q: What were your takeaways from working with these platforms before moving to direct client acquisition?
Kai notes the starting rates, the importance of reviews, the bid-based system, and the limitations such as platform fees and lack of consistency in work quality, which motivated moving toward direct client relationships.
#120: How Kai DeMoss Went From a Gig App Cleaner to Real Clients in San Francisco
Q: Where did you start and how did you get here?
Kai describes starting in a cleaning company in Iowa, then moving to San Francisco, trying gig apps like Angie and Homeaglow, and gradually transitioning to independent client work as they learned pricing, marketing, and relationship-building.
