One of the biggest things you can do to grow your new carpet cleaning business is to get 5-star reviews from your customers on Google, Facebook, Yelp, and elsewhere.

Good reviews will help you book more jobs, charge higher prices, and keep customers coming back year after year.

How do you get reviews? By asking customers to leave them!

But asking every single customer to leave a review is boring, tedious, and I’m guessing you’d rather have it done automatically? That’s exactly what Nicejob does for you.

Nicejob will text or email all your customers to ask for reviews. Pro tip: ask for the review immediately after you finish a carpet cleaning job. That’s when a customer is most satisfied and most likely to leave you a review.

Still on the fence about this Nicejob? Let me give you 3 reasons to start a free trial right now:

1. Carpet cleaners who use review software almost ALWAYS get more reviews than cleaners who ask for reviews manually
2. More reviews is going to help you book more jobs (and make more money)
3. Nicejob is under $100/mo! Plus you can get a free trial to test out all the features before you commit

Last time we talked about how important reviews are for carpet cleaners. If you don’t have 5-star reviews coming in from your current customers, new customers will be afraid to hire you.

But how do you get reviews?

Reminder: I recommend Nicejob.

This easy-to-use software will help you get more reviews on Google and Facebook. Nicejob can email and text your customers automatically to ask for a review.

Nicejob is seriously the easiest way I’ve found to get 5-star reviews for your carpet cleaning business. I can’t recommend it enough.

The post What’s The Best Way To Get Reviews For Your Carpet Cleaning Business? appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

What if I told you there was 1 big secret to growing your carpet cleaning business?

In fact, most carpet cleaners never figure out this secret (despite the fact that it’s so simple).

And if you don’t figure out this secret for your business, you risk going out of business sooner rather than later.

Want to know the secret? (I promise, it’s simple).

Get more reviews.

That’s it!

You might think I’m kidding, but I’m not.

If you’re a new carpet cleaner, you need to get 5-star reviews from your customers on Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other places. Otherwise new customers will be afraid to hire you.

“But VLM Guy… that’s so simple. Everybody knows they should get 5-star reviews from their customers. The trick is probably getting the reviews.”

Fair enough…

But agree that reviews are important, right?

Here is the easiest way I’ve found to get more 5-star Google reviews: Nicejob software

Nicejob is a simple tool that will email or text message your customers to ask for reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, and other places.

The software does all this automatically so you never have to lift a finger!

You see… most cleaners never get 5-star reviews because… they never ask for them!

I’m not joking. Most cleaners do their carpet cleaning job, then leave without asking for a review.

Sometimes they’ll meekly ask customers “do you mind leaving me a review? I’m just a poor carpet cleaner who can’t afford review software to make this easier on you…” << don’t be that carpet cleaner!

P.S. – If you are using Housecall Pro software, you have built in “review” software already. Start with that. But I still think you would benefit from upgrading to Nicejob later on. Nicejob has some features that will get you more reviews than Housecall Pro will get you.

Last time we talked about “customer relationship management” or “CRM” software.

Reminder: I recommend Housecall Pro if you’re starting a VLM carpet cleaning business.

That’s because Housecall Pro is:
-Made for carpet cleaners
-Easy to use
-Less than $100/mo

If you’re on the fence about Housecall Pro, I recommend you request a demo here.

A member of the HCP team will walk you through the software, answer any questions you have, and help you get started with Housecall Pro for your business.

And for a limited time, you’ll save 50% on your first 3 months of Housecall Pro when you request a demo through this link.

If you’ve been reading and following along with my posts, then congratulations! You should have all the equipment & chemicals you need to start your VLM carpet cleaning business.

That’s awesome, and I truly wish you the best of luck with your new business.

But if I could give you 1 piece of advice before you book a single job, it would be this:

Use a “customer relationship management” or “CRM” tool.

Your eyes might be glazing over right now… “CRM” sounds like something scary, complicated, or expensive.

Let me assure you: the CRM I’m going to recommend is:
-Made for carpet cleaners
-Easy to use (Seriously, I’ve already taught hundreds of people how to use it in a couple of minutes)
-Less than $100/mo

So what is this CRM I’m recommending?

It’s called Housecall Pro.

I highly recommend you sign up for a demo of Housecall Pro right away.

Here are 3 things you can do with Housecall Pro:

1. Book jobs and schedule them on your calendar (integrates with Google Calendar!)
2. Store customer names, phone numbers, and addresses << this makes it super easy to book them again in the future
3. Accept payments, send receipts, and send invoices

Again, your best bet is to sign up for a demo with the Housecall Pro team. You can use this link to request a demo.

A live Housecall Pro expert will show you the software, answer any questions you have, and help you pick the right account level for your new VLM carpet cleaning business.

You can even save 50% off your first 3 months with Housecall Pro for a limited time << but you have to request a demo through this link to qualify

Go sign up and let me know what you think.

P.S. – There are so many more features. I can’t even cover them all here. Things like online booking, Google review generation, and more. Go request a demo. A Housecall Pro expert will answer all of your questions and help you get signed up.
