Hello All,
I am new to this, which will prob be very evident with my question, but i am hoping you can help. I own a commercial cleaning business, and I wish to get into residential window washing.
I am looking at a 3 person model. My door to door sales person, My cleaner, and Me the owner.
If i go with percentages of the pie to pay each of us per job…what sounds reasonable for each?
thanks!

Why don’t you tell us your ideas, then we will tell you what a genius or idiot you are.
whos doing the scheduling, admin, bookeeping and marketing? if its you or portions of that list, you get more than 10%. if its the sales guy or portions of that list he’ll get more than 10%
you, as owner only, business profit: 10%
operations: cleaner 50% if a self contained sub, 30% if employee then 20% payroll taxes, supplies, equip and transportation and insurance
sales 10%+
admin/clerical/HR __% scheduling, bookeeping, invoicing, routes, day sheets, deposits, etc
marketing __% creating system, design, online presence, online maintenance etc
finance __% budgets, figuring vision etc
still need someone to act as head of operations for training, safety, job engineering etc
numbers not looking good for retention? re-evaluate youre pricing structure higher until the pay looks good
not sure you can get that higher pricing? re-evaluate your marketing/message/target market
thanks! Appreciate
