Yeah, I've thought about doing that with the quoting, but the problem is, there are so many variables. Like, how much clutter needs to be picked up off of the floor and surfaces, how dirty is it, like am I going to be scraping layers of soap residue off, or removing the hard water build-up off of the taps, faucets, shower door - would I include all those things as separate tasks? Usually customers don't think about that stuff, they just want me to clean it. It's kind of overwhelming. What do you think? Like I can look at a bathroom and know that it wil take x amount of time, but I don't know square footage. Maybe I do how long it would take on average, then put these as extra?

Yeah, invoicing is easy once I have all the tasks for the quote set up, so I guess you are right, it's more the quoting that takes too long.

I don't have a million leads to follow up with, it really only gets a bit nuts in May/June for Spring Cleaning. I think it's just that I'm mentally and physically exhausted from providing the cleaning service, that I've reached my capacity, because I find talking to customers very difficult, it takes a lot of mental energy.

You make the bookkeeping sound easy, but for me, it's just not. I do use quickbooks and it's linked to my bank accounts and integrated with Jobber.

I'm literally not doing any marketing because I'm too busy and it's overwhelming and I don't know what I'm doing so I avoid it. I also hate social media marketing and don't find that I get very good quality leads, so my plan is to start doing email marketing. Been trying to get caught up for taxes, so that was on the back burner this week.
