Carpet and upholstery cleaners.

A cleaning business is a repeat business that mostly forgets to repeat. The customer list is the asset, it is usually spread across two or three systems, and the person who would call it has a route to run.

The call we would make

Which piece goes first.

One goes first, chosen by whichever is cheapest to run and fastest to read in your numbers. In this trade, here is the order and why.

Goes firstBring past customers back. The list builds itself every Monday from customers serviced this month last year who have not been back.
ThenKnow which ads made the phone ring, because once the history is in one record you can finally see who you are paying to win twice.
Number that movesNew sales first, then cost to sell once the ad spend question has a figure attached to it.
Hands off whenA reply reads like a complaint. That comes to us, same day.

A 28 year old franchise, history stitched out of three systems into one record per household: about 100 customers a month who would have been forgotten, and the same history showed 41% of a year's paid search spend had gone to existing customers. Read the case study.

The constant

The same six, in this order.

Nothing here is built for carpet and upholstery specifically. The six are the same in every trade we run; what the trade decides is where you start.

The short version of our questionnaire. Leave blank anything you don't know; that is an answer too and it tells us where to start. One of us reads it, usually the same day, and the confidentiality commitment comes back with our reply. Want it in writing before you share a number? Check the box at the bottom and we send that first.
