Expertise I have started, managed and sold several businesses. This includes retail outlets in strip malls and starting a home-based business. My specialty is starting and running a residential cleaning business to compete with the franchises. I am an expert in cleaning procedures, cleaning products, hiring and managing employees, subcontracting and expanding a business. I can address questions related to: offline and online marketing, customer relations, how to estimate house cleaning costs, employee hiring and management, subcontracting, office procedures, equipment and supplies, data management, and scheduling.
Experience I hired and used professional cleaning services for over 15 years. During this time I became aware of the issues they seemed to be unaware of to keep their clients happy. I successfully built a house cleaning business to compete with the franchise services. I eventually sold this business at a nice profit after managing all aspects of the business to run at top efficiency. I also have a background in Human Resources and software.
Education/Credentials Masters in Business and Human Resources
