I interviewed Dan Traub of Four Seasons Rug Cleaning Studio.  To contact Dan about his rug program, search “California Business Coaching” on Facebook” or call 805-340-1891

Wish you could hear exactly how other cleaners grow their business?

That’s what this interview is all about.

I did an interview the other day with a cleaner who took his business from doing mediocre, barely struggling to get by…to a profitable, successful operation.

We talked about:

* Setting your goals

* Marketing to NEW clients

* Getting your clients to call back and refer you

* Answering the phone and selling prospects

* How adding rug cleaning services has helped growth

It’s all in this audio interview.

P.S.  I always learn best by hearing from others who’ve done what I want to do.  If you want to double or triple your business, this is the kind of stuff that helps.

More cleaners get their HIGHEST marketing return from the
Internet than ANY other marketing medium. I personally
get at least a 30-to-1 return on marketing dollars spent
online. And some of my clients easily get those same
returns or higher.

But then why do some cleaners FAIL to get much business from the Internet?
Is it because they don’t try? Or maybe they’re trying too hard?

You may be thinking you need to be a computer geek to make the Internet
work for your cleaning biz. But the reality is you don’t need to know much
about computers at all.

I’m about to let you in on 27 ways you can use the Internet to get more
cleaning business. Take this advice to heart because it can change your
cleaning biz.

Many of these techniques are FREE and the others can be done for low cost.
These are all about getting more TRAFFIC to your website and helping your
site rank higher naturally in Google.

Disclaimer: Know that the Internet surely should be a big part of your
marketing mix. However, no matter how many cleaning clients you get
online, never rely solely on Internet marketing or any other marketing
medium. Use it as one of a few effective tools to get cleaning clients.
