How a residential cleaning company hit a $1M+ run rate with production pay.
Owner David Loria (Squeakies Cleaning) explains the exact changes that unlocked growth: moving from 2-person crews to solo cleaners, adopting production pay, targeting 35–40% labor on each job, and pricing toward ~$60/hr effective.
He also walks through the Made Central stack (and why ~$1,000/mo is a steal) plus the community advantages that come with it.
You’ll learn:
What convinced David to adopt production pay (and how employees ended up earning more).
How soloing doubled jobs and halved time on standard cleans.
The real-world math: example job at $309/4 weeks dropping from ~8 hrs to ~4.
Tooling & ops: Made Central for payroll, price increases, compliance, and reporting.
Scale & next plays: about $85K/month run rate, hiring plans, and a new SaaS with 11 paying customers.
If you’re growing a service business or optimizing a home-services podcast pipeline, this episode is a masterclass in incentives, pricing, and process.
