What People Are Saying About the Book
I love this book! I am using a half dozen of their ideas in my cleaning company now and they have proven highly effective. Good, basic info for anybody looking to expand their business. I have it on my desk as a reference guide. Just add some ‘action’ on your part and you’re good to go!

Using the blueprint provided in the book, I was able to start a cleaning business with nothing, get one customer at a time, and in 5.5 years sell my business for over a million dollars. I’m not saying that you will do that, or that you’ll want to work as hard as I did. I took a season of my life to change the rest of my life. The point is that this can be a great business to get into. It’s a cash machine. You will need to get incredibly good at hiring, training, and keeping good entry-level employees. Thank you Dan & Tony.

If you have not worked for one of the very large janitorial/commercial cleaning firms, or have not been a senior manager in all parts the industry from sales to operations and accounts for many years then this is essential reading.
If you have done either of the above then you have less to learn, but will still get a little bit from this book although will find what it promises a bit over hyped.
None the less if you are not a long time veteran in the industry, or have not experienced the things that the really big companies do in all the different departments of such companies that make them the successes that they are, then you cannot afford not to read this book.
What is great about it, is that it is written by people who know the industry and have run their own business for many years and is the only book I have found so far with this knowledge. The books written by other people are nice in that they tell you most of the normal stuff, normally from managers who have run a large or small cleaning site. However as standard site managers they do not have this really practical experience and information that can only be gained from really managing and running all the many different parts of a cleaning company from marketing, sales, accounts, cleaning for lots of different sites and so on.
