Today on Self Maid, I'm chatting with another one of my Booked Out Cleaners members, Ash, from Advanced Commercial Cleaning, about 90 minutes outside Melbourne in rural Victoria.
Ash was bartending when a manager told him they couldn't find a good cleaner and that he'd probably be good at it. He got an ABN, took the shifts, and joined my coaching program in his first month of business.
A year and nine months later, he's approaching half a million dollars in recurring revenue off just 24 clients, with 12 contractors running the work, in a town most people would say is too small to build anything in.
In this episode, we get into the real story. The two days of walking into businesses that turned into 6-figures in recurring revenue, the hiring rule everyone told him never to break that's given him his best workers, and the chair that went through a client's wall on his second ever clean, and why owning up to it is still paying him back today.
Whether you're deciding between commercial and residential, or wondering how to win clients without spending a cent on ads, Ash is refreshingly open about the wins, the mistakes, and the six months where he was crying in the shower before any of it worked.
Have a listen, and if it lands, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
