Referrals, then people finding me somewhere on the net. Just had one today who said that on Facebook someone said that I was the best local carpet cleaner. Not sure who said it but they're right.

Are you guys talking about interacting in groups only or do you run ads, boost posts or post regularly on Facebook?
Or both?

Iāll occasionally run a before and after picture on FB as an ad with some kind of spiffy headline, but most of my FB referrals come from āwho cleans carpetā questions on other peopleās pages.

Refferals from my current customer.
Booked 2 jobs while taking a nap 2 days ago.

Too busy these days. Just did a one room job for the parents of another customer. $150 and both the father and son are fighting over who will give me the tip. So, both of them have me $20 each. Picked up a couple of rugs, need to pick up a couple more but it's out of my area today. 1 more job this afternoon then I have to clean rugs. I am booked solid until August 9 when I am taking a short vacation on Vancouver Island. Have several jobs after that and by the time I'm back, the rest of the month will be booked. I still have several large condo buildings that I have to schedule in before the end of summer as well.

30 call and how many book, if more than 2, you're too cheap
My amount of jobs was 72 from June 24th to july 24th. I'm not too cheap. I just cleaned a huge tile and grout job on this monday for over $4k and they paid when I finished. My average invoice last month was $250

I think it depends on your service area. If you service one town and 50% of it is trailer parks youāre never going to get a $400 average ticket no matter how many services you offer

How did you arrive at that number? How much a day? How many days a week? Month? Winter months?
Sounds totally ridiculous for the average one man band. I'm sure there are a handful of cleaners in the country that are able to do that, but not a realistic average number in my opinion.

I talk to waaay more premium multi service/ surface owners than you do signor.

There are ONLY 261 week days a year.
Winter in this area of the country pretty much shuts down January, February, even March is slow but I'll give you 1/2. So subtract 10 weeks of no cleaning (50 days) and you're $201,000.00
But I bet its still high, not average.and a far cry from 400k Hombre!

"They" just can't explain how.
You just can't trust "Them" anymore.
