Deciding Whether to Discount

Author: Angela Brown January 9, 2023 Duration: 3:59

How do you decide whether to discount your cleaning services?  Ask yourself these questions: are you providing the same services? Will your expenses change? Do you still need to pay your staff? 

Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsor is #SavvyCleaner training and certification for house cleaners and maids. (https://savvycleaner.com/join) And your host today is #AngelaBrown (https://g.page/r/CbMI6YFuLU2GEBI/review)
