Your quote sheet is scaring away the clients you need most πβ
You walk into a house. Count the rooms. Throw out a number. "I'll think about it." Ghosted. π»
They didn't need a price. They needed someone to tell them what was actually wrong.
Maria ran a residential cleaning company in Phoenix. Quoting $120. Getting ghosted half the time. Then she stopped bringing a price list. Started bringing a checklist π
Walked every room with the homeowner. Pointed out the grout they'd given up on. The baseboards coated in dust. The oven they'd been avoiding. She didn't quote. She diagnosed.
Average job: 120 β340. Close rate doubled. Referrals before she left the driveway.

The businesses that win aren't the cheapest. They're the ones who understood the mess before the homeowner did.
When did you last walk a job first? π
