I am not fully aware of your situation, but for quick steady money I would go after a few restaurant accts. go early 8 am and hit 4-5 every morning offering a free demo on the spot. It only takes a few to get some steady money rolling in. I would do anything and everything possible to hold out a while longer cuz spring fever is in the air! Hit neighborhoods daily and u will land a few jobs. Anything I can help u with feel free to call.don't forget the restaurant income will be there next winter when all else dries up!
pull out All The Stops! Before giving up!

Is right go door to door to restaurants.
A few questions?
What type of equipment do you run? I hope you are not trying to use a buffer and call yourself a carpet cleaner.
What are your monthly costs? Do you know them? You need to have the number you are working to every month.
What over head costs can you cut and what is not negotiable.
How big is your customer list? #
Now lets talk targets to market to.
Realtors - do drop boxes. Wear a shirt and tie
Churches. Don't go in smelling like smoke
Doors hangers or mail box drops in the paper box.
Do not give away money in gift cards big mistake. Cash is king right now and you do not have any. Print up a business card that looks like gift cards. PM me and I will do one up you can send to got print and get severa l 1000's for a few bucks. I give these away for a $50 value in cleaning.
Get a part time job to take the pressure off this week. Get something you can do at night a few hours each week. Look at being a janitor most companies can't find good help and will hire you this week. Get a job in a restaurant on the weekends so you do not get in the way of working nights commercial and days for yourself.
Do you have mentor? This is not the time to go alone. You need someone you can tell all yours sins to and give you honest feedback. You might not like what you hear but listen.
I still have my full time job and we run 3 trucks. Give me a call if I can help.
Hope this helps.
