The “Boring Stuff” Is What Builds Real Businesses

It’s not about the newest prespray.
It’s not the fanciest truckmount.
It’s not the latest CRM.
It’s the boring stuff.
Done better and more consistently than anyone else.

• Every call answered
• Every customer followed up with
• Every inquiry replied to within minutes
• Every email campaign A/B split tested
• Every day showing up and doing it again

Success isn’t sexy.
It’s repeatable.
It’s predictable.
It’s boring.
And it works!!!

What’s the one “boring” task you do daily that actually moves the needle?

If you can afford to do it correctly, you'll go about it in an opposite direction than 99% of us did..

Get educated
Get connected
Get equipped
Get customers

Almost guaranteed success in that order if you have all of these natural born inherent qualities:

Great soft skills and pleasant to be around.
Handyman/tool skills.
Driven and ambitious.
A certain level of fitness.
Naturally curious.
Overflowing with gumption.
Outgoing and braver than average.
A level of morality and honesty that goes far beyond being caught by the IRS or the maid.
Community/social involvement.
Adaptable to change, now more than ever.

You'll also need at least 100k to get fully and properly equipped.
As well as a wife, parent or partner who can pay the bills and then some for the first five years while you grow your reputation and pay for your start up fees and dues.

Every community has a certain percentage of floor owners who will pay to have them cleaned. Is there room in your area for another?

The amount of the above listed qualifies that you possess will dictate your market share. The more you were blessed with, the higher the caliber of the client base that will naturally develop for and around you as your skill set, and reputation grows.

Be aware, most of us cleaners go into this because we're unhireable and the entry cost can be extremely low.

and most of our industry never makes much more than minimum wage, with no benefits....

Do a soul search, go with someone else for a few months to see if you like the daily mental and physical requirements, and seek proper funding if all things click..

Best of luck!

oh, and learn how to clean all flooring and fabric types, repair or restore the types you like working with the best, and find a niche that makes you different.

He’s wanting somebody to ask what A and B split testing is

A/B split testing, also known as A/B testing or bucket testing, is a method of comparing two or more versions of something (like a web page, email, or app feature) to see which one performs better for a specific goal.
Here's a breakdown of the concept:
* Two Versions: You create two (or sometimes more) variations of an element. One version is the control (Version A), which is the current version. The other version(s) are the variations (Version B, C, etc.), where you've made a change. This change could be anything from a different headline, button color, image, layout, or even an entire page redesign.
* Randomized Exposure: You then show these different versions to similar groups of your audience. Users are randomly assigned to see either Version A or Version B (or one of the other variations). This randomization helps ensure that any differences in performance are due to the change you made and not other factors.
* Measuring Performance: You track specific metrics to see which version achieves your goal better. These metrics could include:
* Conversion Rate: The percentage of users who complete a desired action (e.g., making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, filling out a form).
* Click-Through Rate (CTR): The percentage of users who click on a particular element (e.g., a button or a link).
* Engagement: How long users spend on a page, the number of pages they visit, or other interactions.
* Bounce Rate: The percentage of users who leave a page without interacting with it.
* Statistical Analysis: Once the test has run for a sufficient amount of time and you've gathered enough data, you analyze the results to determine if there's a statistically significant difference in performance between the versions. This helps you be confident that the winning version truly performs better and the results aren't just due to chance.
* Implementation: If one version significantly outperforms the others, you would typically implement that winning version for your entire audience.
In essence, A/B testing allows you to make data-driven decisions about your content and design by directly comparing different options in a real-world setting. It helps you understand what resonates best with your audience and optimize your efforts to achieve better results.
