      @OctoCleanMedia  11 місяців тому

      A book we've had our entire leadership team read is The Pumpkin Plan. It isn't industry specific, but it has a lot of great business insights. We may or may not be working on a book 😉. We'll keep you updated. I will include this question in the next podcast filming so Matt and Greg can answer you directly! - Andrea

    Best advertising methods?

    • @OctoCleanMedia
      @OctoCleanMedia  11 місяців тому +2

      When it comes to commercial cleaning, having a strong website is everything. Most large commercial buildings you'll want to work with aren't going to select a provider from an ad. They will do a search and base who they reach out to off your website. Account Based Marketing is also key. Select a few businesses in the area that you want to work with and focus your marketing on them. Create a customized video and send it via email, create custom resources related to the industry they are in, sponsor one of their events. Put your time and effort into the accounts that will make you money.
