Cleaning homes and not receiving any money for it is not good business sense. Turning down business because you do not accept credit cards is not good business sense. Leaving a home without cleaning it because the client forgot to leave a check and you can’t reach them by phone, after you have spent time and money getting there, is not good business sense. Wasting time running tape totals and running to the bank with a bank deposit is not good business sense.
What is good business sense is accepting credit cards over the phone. Customers love it because they do not need to worry about leaving a check or getting cash the day of their cleaning and often get frequent flyers points or cash back. You’ll love it because you get your money the same day you clean and you don’t even need to go to the bank with it. It’s worth 2.25-3% to never get ‘stiffed’ again on a cleaning.
Find a credit card vendor or call Rags to Riches at 866-499-7247 or email us on our website’s contact page and we will give you the phone number of a representative for a company that allows you to take credit card numbers over the phone without having an office outside of your home. It is very easy to use and only requires the credit card number of the client, the expiration date and the 3 digit code on the back. You enter everything on your PC or laptop. Much more user friendly for your company than Paypal where even the middle initial of the card holder must match exactly.
