Does anyone use Google calender (from gmail) for multi-van operations for cleaning appointments? If so, Does this work well in connection with I-phone, for employees knowing when and where to go?
Squeaky clean should be a compliment right? Ha Ha Boo Boo Boo What can I say.
I’ve never come across this situation. Sorry.What do you love about “Square”?
What are the cost breakdowns? Monthly? And/or Transaction fee?
What equipment to buy?
Month or year commitments? How many?
Compatible with what phone?
Is the phone listed personal or business? Does it matter?I’ve pondered this for days. In the Heaven’s Best Mission Statement, the first paragraph says something to the effect- To provide the best cleaning the customer has ever had. So often the quality of cleaning decreases with employees and therefore the biggest concern. Owner operators feel it is a hard adjustment to trust someone with their livelihood. The fact of the matter is, it’s more about checks and balances then it is about trust. There are a lot of ingredients to success. Three main ones are Getting appointments, Service the appointments, and Quality Control. These are fundamental! Very successful people KNOW WHAT THEY WANT! Learn everything they need to DO and BE to be successful and DO IT! Others simply DON”T.
Greg, the answer to how to do less travel is in the getting appointments. It would be cost and time effective to hire the salesman to book appointments in the same neighborhood for the whole day. call me and we can discuss a plan! (541)975-9456.
Hey, Sorry I didn’t realize there was a page two. My previous comments were based upon the 1st page.
I have found people pay based upon their expectation level, employees, services, etc. For example: I wouldn’t pay $3 plus oil for an oil change. I don’t buy a 99 cent hamburger at a gas station. It is true, McDonald’s sells the most hamburgers of any chain. So, do you know of anybody that’s proud to work there over the age of 20? Would you rather work at Texas Road House? At which place would you get paid better? Which place gets better tips? Would you feel good about being a slum lord? Or how about working for Donald Trump?
It’s not really about profit as much as it is about “quality of life” and who you chose to spend it with. Am I right?
You can’t expect to get quality at minimum wage. I don’t need a full time chemist doing my finish work. I don’t mean to bash any one, or demean. It’s like this…
I choose not to spend my time with cheap… Cheap car (not dependable), Cheap date (air head) (PS My wife is my 27 1/2 years my better half!), cheap employees (no drive for quality), cheap customers (why can’t you get the 25 year old carpet looking like new? The last guy did 12 years ago!!! And you call yourself a professional?). I will choose quality. I choose Heaven’s Best!I like it!My first thought was a Frisbee but it seldom stays in doors. A tonka truck would be great for a boy but he probably would bring in a load of dirt! I like the teddy bear the best. I can’t think of anything else. What would we be willing to pay for these items?
Wow, just reread your post, 5% do you have a lean on there house and kids? At 5% I wouldn’t be in a hurry to pay it off early. Last time I checked the bank most charged 13% or more for business loans. I was thinking 10% was generous. Anyhow looking forward to your next post.
Wow!
I ran some #’s!

22.9% annually ROI w/area (+ fees)Ron, What’s your formula and financing requirements?
Inquiring minds want to know?
Thanks for your post!Here’s a few things I have on the list.
Assistant manager needed, must be honest, pass a criminal back ground check, valid drivers license (good driving record), non-smoker, and lift 100 lbs. up and down stairs. Has confidence in own abilities, goal driven, and Is a sales oriented service person.Pro & cons: what would you change?
Protector works well for those stubborn wicking spots, creating a barrier that prevents the wicking.
It’s a good question. Each area is different. Is this a good return on investment? For me in my area, the answer was no. I already had established a good reputation and credibility. Before the internet, people called the BBB but after the Al Gore ha ha, invention of the internet, people state their beefs on line or by bad word of mouth. The only benefit I can see is to include the BBB label on all your print advertising. I think most people have forgot about the BBB.
