Does Subcontracting Work in the Cleaning Industry? Transitioning from Staffing to Leadership

In this episode, Matt and Greg are happy to have special guest Ricky Regalado of "Clean and Cocktails," Route, The Janitorial Store, and more to share his expertise on the commercial cleaning industry. The discussion explores how subcontracting can be a misunderstood strategy that either accelerates growth or damages a reputation if approached as a staffing solution rather than a leadership decision. Ricky provides a look behind the curtain at his vetting process, emphasizing the importance of treating subcontractors as professional "service partners" who have established business entities and clear leadership.
