"Can I use IM to grow my cleaning company?" House cleaners and maids are looking for inexpensive ways to drum up new business. The problem is that instant messenger is not the place for a cold sales pitch. Email, a phone call, texting, and even advertising in a Facebook Group are great ways to follow up once you have built trust. But if you want to close business spamming people you don't know via Instant Messenger is only going to land you in Facebook jail. Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner. (Training and certification for house cleaners and maids.) And Savvy Perks. (An incentive program for house cleaners and maids to save money on all business supplies.) #SPAM #Marketing *** COMPLETE SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE *** https://askahousecleaner.com/show *** MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC *** Flyers - Do They Still Work for Getting Business - https://youtu.be/7jhNcHlLkz8 Do I Need a Blog - https://youtu.be/HSPDkFGuvNc?
