Setting up a continuity program is something most service businesses can do, but very few do it. The key is laying out the offer to the client in an attractable way. It must make sense to them to maintain the service. Find as many good reasons as possible they can't disagree with. Great response Brent! Setting up a continuity program is something most service

For the life of me, I can not figure out why there are so many ads that show a van with a hose running into a house. That's the part that customers don't like. Clean carpet (or clean anything for that matter) is an after thought in most peoples minds.  A good approach I have seen is to sell 365 days of clean with a monthly or quarterly maintenance plan. - Smaller up front bill for the customer. - Steady income for the service provider. - It is easier to clean what has been maintained. - The service provider has the advantage of being first in mind when other services are needed. - It gives the service provider more opportunities to be in front of the customer to present (sell) other services. They wouldn't have any reason to ever look for someone else because there needs are taken care of automatically.  Thanks for the post! Very well put!!

I may be interested as I need a site and i keep thinking about it and not doing it. The time it will take me to do is not really worth it for me, one of those things i need to outsource to the right guy. Thank you Aaron Hi Paul,
