$57,645 Cleaning Windows in October | Hiring, Training & Closing More Jobs

In this month's Clean for Profit recap, Colby and Dave break down October's numbers, share what's working in their businesses, and discuss how they're preparing for the slower winter months and a bigger 2027. Together, Sierra Window Cleaning and Glass Therapy brought in $57,645 in October, but revenue is only part of the conversation. We get into building a reliable hiring pipeline, using reverse group interviews to find better employees, and developing structured training systems that help new technicians succeed. We also dive into the sales process, including why in-person estimates can justify higher prices, how we're rethinking the customer experience with "Window Care Assessments," and why professionalism matters more than simply being the cheapest option. Plus, Colby shares how a new virtual assistant booked $8,309 across 13 jobs by reaching out to previous customers, without spending a dollar on advertising. If you're building a window cleaning or exterior cleaning business, this episode is packed with practical lessons from two owners figuring it out in real time. Topics covered: October revenue and preparing for winter Hiring ahead of the spring rush Reverse group interviews and employee selection Building technician training systems Winning higher-paying jobs through in-person estimates Turning service callbacks into repeat customers Reactivating past clients without advertising Building a business that runs on systems, not guesswork Clean for Profit is about building profitable cleaning businesses, sharing what works, and learning from what doesn't.
