Good evening. I have a commercial cleaning company, I’ve had it open for half a decade now. The beginning of last year I was racking up $10k a month working 5-10 hours a week and paying employees. Clients I got from Yelp and a referral .

I had open heart surgery the same year 2 weeks into February and had to get used to a new body (22) . So l wasn’t looking for my clientele. I got too comfortable and let the business ride . I lost those clients a couple months ago and getting back into the rhythm but at a larger scale from the knowledge I gained .

I’m thinking about making stickers or flyers with my companies details and having them in food spots downtown to reach potential clients of the larger buildings in the area / sky scrapers . Do you think it’s professional to find a cleaning company in a food spot on a sticker or flyer ?

So far im just cold emailing property managers , no response. Will do door knocking once I gain my new business cards.

For my cold emailing I include a deep cleaning for areas that have not been reached, carpet shampoo after the winter and window cleaning as a complimentary . For the ceaning services we do an affordable and tailored to liking as well.

I appreciate the help !

    Commercial Cleaner here.

    First, I’m sorry about your health. If you’re feeling strong mentally and physically, the best way to (re)build this business:

    1. You need a website, business email and a Google profile. Now you look like a business

    2. Physical door to door cold calling. People buy from people. Your best opportunity is to show up and a property manager’s of or a property management company and do your thing. As you know, the loyalty in this business sucks, and most clients are either moderately happy with the quality of cleaning they receive or moderately unhappy with the quality. Everyone is a prospect.

    Some of our best Jani success was post construction cleaning, primarily retail.

    What market are you in?
