If you're feeling frustrated that despite offering competitive pay and running endless hiring ads, your best cleaners keep leaving and clients are slow to trust your team, then you are not alone!

If you've put in long hours training new hires, only to watch them walk out the door before they ever become part of the “family,” then you are not alone!

With a knack for turning challenging moments into opportunities, Charlie grew his company from just four employees to a team of 375 spread across five states, pushing close to $15 million in revenue.

He has weathered significant industry changes, including the rollercoaster of the COVID era, by staying adaptable and maintaining a strong focus on people. Charlie’s experience scaling a cleaning company gives him firsthand insight into building and leading a workforce that sticks around—he knows the value of treating employees well. He understands the day-to-day realities cleaning business owners face.

His journey demonstrates that hard work, empathy, and a willingness to take calculated risks can truly pay off in this industry.
