I'm sure they realize at this point that they could be running the same model. The profits at this point probably aren't even enough to cover the salary for one person to be doing everything this guy is doing. The cleaners could do these things themselves, but they would still need to compensate themselves for their time. So, the profits would just go to more hours worked rather than going towards everyone getting a raise.
I imagine that as the profits do rise, then this guy will have to spend more money on fixing all the issues that the other comments mention. He is also on the hook for things like damage and theft. I'm guessing his workers would rather just do their jobs, get paid and leave the rest for someone else.
- radicalbyte 15y ago> The cleaners could do these things themselves Why do you assume that? There are plenty of people doing those kind of jobs who can't read or can't handle basic arithmetic. It's not a given that they'll be able to set themselves up as this guy has done.
- localcasestudy 15y agoYeah it's not easy. Our teams do certain things well: Cleaning, organizing, and having a nice friendly presence that makes clients want to have them back in their home over and over again. I do certain things fairly well: Managing web design (I feel like i have a fairly good eye), writing web copy, client acquisition (adwords, twitter), finding ways to adopt high-tech practices into low tech industries (I think we're the first cleaning company with an actual affiliate program), SEO, branding, and a few extra things I can't think of now. I'm not great at any of these things, but I feel like I'm at least competent at many of them. I don't have the skills they have. They don't have the skills I have. We both realize this and figured we could work together and benefit each other.
