[ON] how do you find leads
Hello Everyone! I opened a cleaning business last year and work on it outside of my 9-5. I really want to grow it this year but am struggling to find new leads and was thinking maybe some of you were in similar situation and know how to get out of this.
I am busy Monday to Friday 9-5. Clients that i have already suggested me to their friends but those cleanings are not regular and primarily move in move out. I was thinking to run google adds but don't want to pay for the lead and then find out that they need cleaning when I am busy so i can service them. I also don't want to blindly hire someone I haven't checked yet and also accepting a lead while not having someone trained sounds like a big gamble and risk to reputation if I cant find a good cleaner.
Those of you who were in a similar situation how did you get out of it? Where did you find leads.
P.S. I am looking for suggestions not marketing pitches. I don't have it in my budget yet
