Watch This Before Starting A Can Cleaning Business (The Truth)

recently I've been getting a lot of interest on my videos about starting a cane cleaning business so in this video I want to tell you the three things you need to know before you start offering this as a service I'm also going to tell you what the people who sell this service to others for a living don't want you to know and I found this out because of an interaction that I had with a can cleaning Tick Tock influencer who I was trying to bring onto the channel to share his experience about the business lastly if you stay until the end I'm going to give you the number one marketing tip for acquiring more customers for your can cleaning business but we're giving away two MacBooks to two premium Platinum subscribers of quote IQ in less than two weeks so if you need help keeping up with customers sending estimates invoices or collecting payments check out quote IQ linked in the comment section in the description of this video also if you're looking to start a pressure washing business but you're not sure what chemicals to use how to mix them how to clean every surface on a residential job site property protection or how to set up your equipment check out the how to wash course it'll be the first link in the comment section and the description so before I get into the three biggest things that you need to know about starting a can cleaning business I want to tell you about my experience with this can cleaning Tick Tock Guru this guy sells the big trucks that you see washing a bunch of cans I'm pretty sure that they're all over a hundred thousand dollars plus and I reached out to him to see if he would be interested in coming on the channel to share some of the insights about the business and over the phone call that we had he made it very clear that this business is not for people using pressure washers and that he did not support me making videos telling people that this was the way that they could get into the business basically trying to intimidate me into not speaking about starting this type of service business with minimal equipment costs this guy will never come onto the channel because hey I didn't like his attitude but B I also didn't like him trying to control my message because it didn't further his business model of trying to sell people can cleaning equipment so you guys don't have to worry about him ever coming onto the channel my first piece of advice for anybody out there wanted to start this business is you can start with whatever equipment that you have however you will reach a ceiling of how many cans you can clean per day much faster with cheaper equipment out of the back of your truck than you would with a professional setup of course so my first piece of advice for anybody out there wanting to start this business is you can start with whatever equipment you have however you will reach a ceiling of how many cans you can clean per day much faster with cheap equipment out of the back of your truck than if you were to go out and buy one of those hundred thousand dollar can cleaning rigs however I would highly advise you to start this way by using cheaper equipment to learn how to acquire customers learn how to price the service learn how to do it quickly and effectively and learn how to keep those customers on a recurring basis before you make a huge investment into a can cleaning truck if you're thinking about doing that kind of thing a lot of the times the biggest mistake that people make in their business is over investing in equipment before seeing if this type of business is even something that they would be successful with number two can cleaning is a great recurring service for a new pressure washing company because if you're able to service 100 cans at 12 a piece and you can do this in a couple of days on a monthly recurring basis you have now found a way to guarantee yourself twelve hundred dollars per month without acquiring any new customers and one of the downsides of pressure washing is the fact that properties typically only need to be cleaned about once a year now there are exceptions to this rule however for a new business any type of guaranteed income is going to be extremely beneficial because of how sporadic the work can come in the first year or two and business now the thing to keep in mind with this point is since can cleaning is so low ticket I would advise you to never really offer it as a one-time service because if it costs you twenty dollars to acquire One customer and you only service them one time you're basically negative eight dollars on that customer if you're charging them twelve dollars per can cleaning but if it costs you twenty dollars to acquire customer and you can guarantee that they're gonna get their can cleaned every single month for six months you now know that you're going to be able to make at least fifty two dollars on that customer so on these low ticket Services be aware of the cost of acquiring customers and also the time of acquiring customers and take that into consideration when seeing if this service is profitable for you and if you need help keeping track of expenses in your business as well as know how much money you're making definitely check out quote IQ we structure the dashboard analytics to give you everything you need at a glance the third biggest thing you need to know before starting your can cleaning business is this the number one reason you get into this business is to get your foot in the door with customers that you would not have been able to get in front of otherwise I've had people asking me to do all kinds of stuff when I finish their cans landscaping jobs more pressure washing work I even landed a fifteen hundred dollar drop off of one can cleaning ad and we ended up cleaning their cans for free because we got the house washed the roof wash and the driveway cleaning so in summation start offering this service with whatever equipment you have available focus on acquiring customers and putting them on a recurring schedule so that way you can guarantee recurring income and remember that the ultimate goal of the service is going to be to get in front of people that you could not have been able to otherwise and sell them the other services that you offer and if you do this you're going to be incredibly successful with the business now let's get into the number one strategy for acquiring new customers and that is this door-to-door is obviously going to be a good way to acquire new customers however from a Time perspective there's only really so many people that you can talk to in a day so the number one way to acquire new can cleaning customers is a flyer that is basically structured as a sticky note there's companies that make almost Post-It note type flyers that you can get as small as a postcard but basically if you know the trash days for a specific neighborhood once trash is passed you can take these flash card size Flyers that are basically sticky notes and put them on the top of everybody's trash can in the neighborhood I've had this done in my neighbor her before and I've also heard from people who've had very large very successful can cleaning businesses doing this strategy because it works when the customer goes to grab their cane they bring it back to the side of the house of course they're going to notice a sticky note flyer on top of the can they're going to be reminded about how dirty it is and how much they need to get it cleaned remember that all these strategies are a numbers game so the more sticky notes that you can put on more people's trash cans the more that you're ultimately going to convert into customers so pick a day and sticky note as many people's cans as you can and then do that every single week on that day and never stop until you have more customers than you can ultimately handle so the word of the day on this video is going to be can if you made it from the video comment down
