If you want to learn about making cold hard cash in the window cleaning business, then you'll want to read this article. I'm going to discuss how you can go from working part-time as you get started, to making over $2-$3000 a month in your own full-time business. But the only way that can happen is if you follow a proven plan. The figures I've quoted are conservative in nature because many people who get into the service learn by trial and error. This does not have to be the case, but that is standard procedure for the majority of business owners.

It's quite easy to learn the specific techniques needed to efficiently clean windows and trims. That is not really the heart of the business; the real nuts and bolts of your business will be in the marketing and service that you employ. The window cleaning business is above all a service enterprise. That means contacting, soliciting and selling your company as the expert in your field.

Once you learn what it takes to actually make glass sparkle and your customers are impressed by your thoroughness, that's when the real sales begin. You'll need to learn how to up-sell services as well as train your customers to promote your business for you. The majority of your growth will not come from your flyers or your newspaper ads, it will come from satisfied customers who will be raving about the service that you've given them to their friends.

Learning to operate a window cleaning business is not difficult; what separates the businesses to make $2000 the month from the ones that make $10,000 a month comes down to marketing strategy and service implementation. What's going to separate your business from your competitors is how consistent you are in your service and marketing.

Many window cleaners reach a level of satisfaction in their business once they're making some steady money. They hit the wall fast and don't seem to grow over a certain income level. When that happens, they no longer have the competitive edge; that's where you come in.

If you get proper training on how to handle service contracts, create variable packages for your customers and work with both residential and commercial clients efficiently; you can very quickly dominate your market.

As a business owner, you'll need to start with a business and marketing plan. Don't sell yourself short here, if you do it any other way you'll be leaving money on the table.

Too many independent operators go out without the benefit of proper training. They waste a lot of time energy and money unnecessarily. Learning the ropes from a seasoned professional allows you to model your business on proven success principles.

As your window cleaning business grows, you begin to add new services and expand your area of coverage. You'll begin to teach your team to operate with consistency and purpose. You build trust with your customers and even expand your relationship by including other seasonal services.
