Getting (and keeping) customers is the name of the game for all businesses, including cleaning companies. But, all too often cleaning companies try to do too much in order to secure customers, which, unfortunately, ends up hurting the business altogether.

While they might seem like a good idea for keeping long-term customers, cleaning contracts actually deter customers, especially in the residential cleaning market. Thankfully, there are lots of other customer retention methods to consider.
 
In this episode of the Profit Cleaners, you will learn about the pros and cons of cleaning contracts. You’ll hear how to do cleaning contracts (if you really can’t operate without them), when you should be doing cleaning contracts, and why you should consider dropping customer contracts altogether.
