Creating My Own Cleaning Software (Maid Service)

Creating My Own Cleaning Software (Maid Service)

Author: Angela Brown May 6, 2021 Duration: 6:52

Cleaning software today includes a customer database. Track mileage, time on jobs, and job schedules (even with several cleaners.) Reference quotes you've bid and upsells you've made. And keep your invoices and one click credit card processing all in one place. Send reminder texts to clients for service and get them to rate and review you all from the same app. Does such an app or scheduling software exist?

Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsor is #SavvyCleaner training and certification for house cleaners and maids. (https://savvycleaner.com/join) And your host today is #AngelaBrown
