Just closed a $2,500/month contract for office deep cleans using my Instagram reels showing before/afters with the Hoover Commercial HushTone vac. Posted a few short vids of me scrubbing those nasty break room floors and boom, the facility manager DM'd me direct. Proud as hell after grinding solo for a year.

don't get too comfy, commercial clients love to nickel and dime you on add-ons like window treatments.

switch to LinkedIn for those big fish, way better for B2B than Insta reels.

watch out for hidden fees in those contracts, lost 20% once to supply surcharges.

target local businesses on FB groups first, easier than social media cold starts.

those facility managers are the worst, always changing specs mid-contract.

and the corps keep raising insurance demands, screwing us independents.
