Setting ourselves apart

American Professional Cleaning is a minority-owned professional cleaning service based in Lexington, Kentucky. We have certified floor technicians. We also have window cleaners. We also have carpet cleaners. Last but not least, we have duct cleaning. That sets us apart from our competitors.

Knowing we have the right price

The business acumen that comes in is knowing that we have the right price. We use CleanBid to do proposals that get our net profit and our bottom line where we need them to be, while also giving a best-value price.

A game changer right off the bat

What attracted me to CleanBid was that I could put together a streamlined, professional proposal in a short period of time. To me, that was an effective tool I needed. CleanBid was a game changer right off the bat for our company. We cut down the time we spent guesstimating square footage, rates and all the factors that go into a proposal.

Simple, clean-cut and effective

We really enjoy CleanBid because it sets us apart from our competitors with the clean platform it gives us. I felt like in today’s technological age, we were looking for a platform that was simple, clean-cut and very effective, and I felt like CleanBid allowed that for us.

CleanBid allowed us to grow while being profitable at the same time.

Growing while staying profitable

CleanBid allowed us to grow while being profitable at the same time, because we could build our profit models into CleanBid, and that lets us hit our bottom line.

Proposals prospects love

Our prospects absolutely love our proposal. I absolutely believe it sets us apart from our competitors, and it’s an exceptional advantage to use CleanBid. All of our clients enjoy our proposal because it shows that we’re serious about taking the time to get the details right.

Email verification and Express proposals

When it comes to email verification, it’s always nice to see that our client has received the proposal.

The Express model has helped us countless times. It cuts down the time when you have a really easy proposal you just want to put out quickly. It allows me to piece together a proposal out in the field very quickly and professionally to present to our customers.

Nothing else compares

We have yet to see an application with so many features at the rate we’re paying. We’re excited. We’ve been partners with CleanBid for five-plus years, and we’re very excited about the future. I haven’t found another software platform on the market that compares to CleanBid.

For me, it’s been great. Like you say, it’s customizable, it’s efficient, it’s effective. It has changed our business model, and it’s impressed our customers.
