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.

Commercial Cleaning Bidding: Why Pricing by Square Foot Costs You Money!

https://connecteam.com/employee-app-360-funnel/?ref=homepage-hero Are you still pricing commercial cleaning contracts based on square footage alone? In today’s episode, we break down why that approach is outdated and why many cleaning companies are unknowingly leaving money on the table. As expectations from clients continue to evolve, bids are no longer just about a number—they’re about transparency, professionalism, and understanding the real drivers behind cleaning costs. We discuss the biggest misconceptions around bidding commercial cleaning contracts and explain what professional cleaners are doing differently today to protect their margins and win higher-quality clients.
