Why We Call Cleaning Jobs "Clients" Not Customers
24/12/2019 Duration: 08minWant to know why we call cleaning jobs "clients" not customers? Many house cleaners call them accounts, jobs, houses or cleans.

Customers behave like clients when you refer to them as such and maids are frugal with their time if they see a job as billable hours. Speaking of billable hours, you can track them in the background of your business with https://housecallpro.com/Angela Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner Training for house cleaners and maids. #AngelaBrown #SavvyCleaner *** HOW DID WE DO?
