How This Course Works

​

This course can take you through all the phases of starting a running your own cleaning referral agency. Each lesson (and supporting downloads) can be purchased separately from the shop page (like this lesson here), or altogether assembled into a cohesive, sequential online course found in the "Complete Program" on the shop page. 

 

If you're already up and running but not sure if you have your foundations properly set up, I would recommend taking this full course. However if you're confident in your foundations, then select only the lessons/content you want to develop more from the shop page.

Learn the simple marketing methods that you can implement today. Find out the pitfalls and insider secrets to some of the more complex strategies that you can implement over the next few months.

Automation Overview

One of the most neglected core focuses of growing a business is to work the contacts you already have. Just think about it. You spend a lot of money and energy on marketing to expose business and draw leads to your website or to call you on the phone. How much money and energy do you actually spend on continually marketing to those leads after the first point of contact or after their cleaning service has been completed?

​

In 2018 I grew my business 30% and setting up automation sequences is one of the most impactful thing I did to accomplish that. I didn’t believe all the hype that other business owners were talking about when they said “Automation is key.” But, now I know. I began setting up 6 different email marketing automation sequences to target specific messages and coupon codes to contacts based on the stage they were in within the sales pipeline. It was not easy. I had to learn the capabilities within the scheduling software and CRM software I was using, create 45 emails all with the appropriate message to convert the contact to the next sales stage, then learn how to connect all that together so contacts can be automatically sorted and filtered when they move to a different stage. The key word is automatically.

​

Once I was done setting this up, I was able to sit back and watch the magic happen. Here, I give you an overview of how and why Automation is such a game changer.

​

Emails, Emails, Emails: 45 of them!

I use an automated email campaign to stay in touch with contacts throughout the year. I target the message depending on what stage they are in the sales pipeline. The objective of these emails is to do one of the following:

  • Convert leads to bookings during the peak interest period at the beginning points of contact

  • Convert one time bookings to recurring clients right after their first cleaning when they are still in love with their newly cleaned home

  • Recapture clients who cancel to incentivize continued service and restoring lost revenue

  • increase revenue by encouraging contacts to book a cleaning

  • increase conversion via seasonal and time relevant messages (ie spring cleaning, holiday cleaning, etc)

  • Increase revenue via customer referral requests

  • Educate with meaningful articles and stay in the forefront of contacts’ minds

  • Enhance business’s sell-ability, become desirable to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your business by having permanent email marketing system in place

​

In this package you will see the exact 47 emails I use to automatically send to contacts throughout the year. You can duplicate these emails yourself or use them for inspiration in your own marketing messages. *Some emails are reused in different areas, depending on the contact's stage or time of year.
