The Lean Maid Business model

• Work from home.
• Virtual assistants (sales, dispatching).
• Employees are dispatched from home.
• Use software to reduce headcount.

Reduce costs dramatically:

• Save on office rent instead use shared office/work from home.
• Use storage units $50-$100/mo vs. a warehouse.
• Direct dispatch – Employees use their cars – less driving = more cleaning.
• Use VA’s with good software.

Software I use:

• Custom booking process design in house for my cleaning service
• Pipehire – track hiring, onboarding, attendance, files, birthdays and anniversaries.
• Hubstaff – remote workers software
• Jobber – scheduling.
• Activecampaign – automated marketing.
• Textline – sms marketing
• QBO – accounting.
• Stripe – payments.
• Zapier to connect it all.
