Cleaning Business Life
🎙 Cleaning Business Life
Cleaning Business Life is a podcast for cleaning business owners who want more than tactics — they want clarity.
Hosted by industry leaders Shannon Miller and Jamie Runco, this show explores the real decisions behind building a sustainable, profitable cleaning company: pricing, leadership, systems, boundaries, and growth without burnout.
This isn’t a beginner podcast.
It’s for owners and operators who are already in the business and ready to think differently about how they run it.
If you’re tired of noise, hustle culture, and surface-level advice — and you want grounded conversations rooted in real industry experience — you’re in the right place.

Episode #50 - Price Increase for your Cleaning Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Price increases are a necessary part of running a business, but they can be intimidating. However, if done correctly, they can help you grow your business and improve your bottom line.
The first step in implementing a price increase is to evaluate your current pricing structure. Are you pricing your services competitively? Are you covering all of your costs and making a profit? If not, it may be time to consider a price increase.
When deciding on the amount of the price increase, it’s important to consider factors such as the cost of materials, labor, and overhead. You should also consider the current market conditions and the prices charged by your competitors.
Once you’ve decided on the amount of the price increase, it’s important to communicate it to your customers effectively. Be transparent about the reasons for the increase and emphasize the value that your services provide.
Finally, be prepared for some pushback from customers. Some may be resistant to the price increase, but if you can demonstrate the value of your services and the reasons for the increase, most customers will understand.
That's it for today's episode of Cleaning Business Life. Thank you for listening, and we'll see you next time.
