One of the main benefits of starting a maid service company is that that you can build a profitable business that will start to generate revenue very quickly. Running their own maid service company also appeals to people who appreciate the flexibility of a business that can be operated on either a part-time or full-time basis and from pretty much any location.
However, business statistics show that 8 out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within the first 18 months, including hundreds of maid service businesses around the country. As your maid service business begins to grow beyond a few monthly clients, so does the number of employees and jobs that need to be scheduled and managed on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Are you are one of the many service business owners who are juggling their daily schedules on pieces of paper or using multiple clumsy apps that are not designed for your specific business needs? Then, like the other 80% of new business owners, you are at a risk of crushing and burning just as you are really getting your business off the ground. In our world of instantaneous Yelp reviews and constant social media posting, even a single missed appointment or a wrong employee sent to a client’s house can have hugely negative effects for your maid service business.
The key to business success of many profitable maid service companies has been the right scheduling and management software that has helped them to be well-organized and present a professional image to their clients.
In September 2008, about a year after starting his own maid service business, Amazon Cleaning, Jerry Kovach realized that he needed a scheduling and management software that could meet all his business needs. After careful consideration and weighing of various competing software packages available on the market, Jerry chose to go with Thoughtful Systems’ Scheduling Manager program. Today, Jerry runs one of the largest and most successful maid services in the Atlanta area – in fact one of the largest in the country. He continues to use the Scheduling Manager for all his daily scheduling and business management needs and credits the software as the essential component of his success.
We have been using Thoughtful Systems software for almost 7 years now. The platform is very stable and we save hundreds of hours each year by having a one stop shop for our customer service and tracking needs. Overall, we made the right decision investing in Thoughtful systems software without question.
