Selling their own specialist services to cleaning companies
Cleaning companies serve homes, offices, schools and other commercial sites, often with many part-time staff spread across contracts. Owners and operations managers care about margins, staff scheduling and winning the next contract, and they buy supplies in steady volume.
Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.
The cleaning companies that need their own specialist services are listed publicly. What most freelancers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.
What freelancers run into with cleaning companies
Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.
Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.
You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.
Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.
Domestic cleaners and large contract firms sit on the same lists.
Use a Domestic or commercial field to split them and save a filter for each audience.
You want to reach operations managers, not only a generic inbox.
Keep a contact name and role in your lead file and use placeholders so the mail addresses them directly.
A week of prospecting in Riftjaw
Monday: collect
Export a batch of cleaning companies from public listings and import it. Duplicates are skipped.
Tuesday: fill in
Derive missing emails with info@, office@, enquiries@ and accounts@ and tag the records that look like a fit.
Wednesday: reach
Send one mail about your their own specialist services to the new segment, in small batches.
Friday: follow up
Opens and clicks show up on each record. Set the ones who answered to Replied or Customer, so the follow-ups of the campaign skip them.
What to say to cleaning companies
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets cleaning companies to click.
- Talk about margins on contracts and how your offer lowers the cost of supplies or staff hours.
- Focus on staff turnover and scheduling, which most cleaning managers deal with every week.
- Offer help winning new contracts, for example with a clearer website or tender ready documents.
Fields worth recording for cleaning companies
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Domestic or commercial | Commercial cleaners buy in larger volumes and have different needs. |
| Specialist services | Window, carpet or deep cleaning each need their own equipment. |
| Sectors served | Offices, healthcare and schools come with different standards. |
| Operations contact | Larger firms have a manager who handles suppliers. |
| Contract based | Firms on fixed contracts care about scheduling and staff tracking. |
Questions people ask
Public tender award notices and business directories often show this. Collect the information yourself, import it and record it in a field.
Info@, office@ and enquiries@ are common. Email from domain lets you tick several prefixes at once and add your own, but the results are guesses rather than verified addresses.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@, enquiries@ and accounts@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
