Holiday Gift Cards & Cleaning Packages That Actually Sell!

In this episode of Cleaning Business Life, Shannon Miller and co-host Jamie Runco break down how to turn seasonal gift cards and cleaning packages into real fourth-quarter profit without burning out your team or blowing up your schedule.

• Smart ways to redeem gift cards in phases so you don’t overload your schedule
