How My Business Made $10,000 In The Last 30 Days

Making 10k a month is easy… If you’ve been in business for 3 years.

But I just relaunched my business because it’s seasonal and first month we did 10k in sales. And that’s just with me and my friend selling.

And the essentials that I’ve been doing to make this much money is not that crazy, I’m not working 90 hours a week or drinking to cope with the work load or anything. Granted I do work very hard but we’re playing a mental game with business, and it mainly comes down to how you do the work.

The main thing for me is that you should spilt your business, or what you’re working on into little parts. For me it comes down to

1. Sales

2. Cleaning

3. Customer Service

4. Money Management

We do home cleaning services but the first and most important part of any business is sales, and having the money coming in.

Your main focus should be sales. Any failing business is only failing because they don’t have money coming in. Can a business be failing if it has positive cash flow coming in? It’s impossible. And in the beginning when you don’t have much credibility you can’t do pussy stuff. Like ads, or whatever people do to make themselves seem productive.

Sell. Sales and marketing are different things. Especially in the beginning, just talk to people, message them, get in front of them and offer what you’re selling.

Now at first I was delusional, I thought the only important thing was sales, but the fulfillment of the sale is just as if not MORE important.

And I was talking to my mentor and he woke me up to this. Sales are important. But if the job is done wrong or the product sucks, you lost that customer as a customer, as well as all chances for referrals, reviews, and repeat buys from that one person.

So those 2 are the most important to my business. Getting the customer and making them happy.

I also have customer service, which I manage solley in my business. Because no one else cares about your customers as much as the business owner. Until I get a 10/10 assistant from Russia. But the customer needs to be treated like your friend.

And only then will they actually want to refer you. And if the work is good. They’re both very important. And with the customer service, since we sell a service, there can be mess ups. And the key to getting over the mess ups is to just make it up to the customer, plus some.

What I’ve been doing is, if someone says they’re unhappy, I reply immediately, because if I can keep the convo between me and them, they won’t tell any friends or leave a nasty review in that short time period.

And in that reply, you need to blow up with them. “I actually can’t believe that happened, etc etc.” and tell them how you’ll make it up to them. I say “Where can I send a refund too? we’ll come back today and make it look right for you and as a courtesy we’ll do X.

That’s how I’ve gone about it and I’ve only had happy custies from it. Because they see that you actually care about them and not just their money. As well as you save yourself from bad word of mouth.

And with managing money, I could and need to do better. I so far am just keeping track on my phone rn, which is really stupid and risky and I’ve now gone back to my old system which is with a spread sheet.

Essentially it’s to manage how much money each team member brought in for every day of that week. As well as to keep track of how many homes got cleaned too.

And for the actual way I go about working to help make a bunch of money— I literally work from 11-5. Just knocking on doors. Going to customers. And making calls. If you aren’t ready to go balls to the wall, especially in the beginning, you will fail. My first year of business it was more like 12-7 or 8 pm sometimes. But that’s the cost of starting in business. It’s harder in the beginning but 100x easier after a few years and after you’re established.

A main thing that kills peoples want to start a business is after they start, and they make no money. I’ll write about this too on a later post but people don’t have the right skills. And they beat themselves up when they don’t do as well as they were promised by some youtube entrepreneur or some influencer. And it’s like No, it takes time and effort to build these skills.

The fact that you started is great. Now you need to get the know how. And that’s what I spend the rest of my time on, learning. Honestly I read a lot, as well as watch a lot of youtube. That’s how I learn primarily. The #1 hack I had though was a mentor, someone doing what you wanna do who you can talk too every now and then. He was my old sales manager and we just talked and at the end of my time there I asked him if he could help guide me and he said yes.

So try and find someone in real life if you can. If not, stick to books and videos and try joining online groups in the meantime to have some access to talk to people. Kinda like my discord server where you can talk with everyone in there as well as me:)

And that’s essentially what’s made me the 10k in revenue my first month back.

• Focus on Sales

• Make the customer Extra happy

• Keep track of everything

• Work like crazy

• Learn like crazy too

And that’s the main things that got me the results for last month and I’m sure they’ll help you in some way be in business, your work or just life.

Thank you for reading, having a good one:)
