Key facts

- Places that need cleaning several nights a week and notice when it goes wrong: medical and dental offices, daycare and education sites, gyms, and offices with visitors.
- Keep the radius tight so your crews are not driving an hour between jobs.
- The owner signs at very small firms, so include owners for companies under about 20 staff.

What makes a cleaning email get a reply?
A reason to switch. Most managers already have a cleaner. Mention a complaint they will recognise, like missed trash or no one answering the phone, and offer a no-risk first clean or a walkthrough.
How to win commercial cleaning accounts
- Set your area
Paste your ZIP code and choose a 10 or 25 mile radius.
- Choose building types
Medical offices, offices with 10 to 200 staff, gyms, schools and property management companies.
- Search the roles
Office managers, practice managers, facility managers, property managers and owners of small firms.
- Reveal emails and mobiles
Start with 100. Free covers that every month.
- Send a specific offer
On a paid plan Buzz writes four emails per person and Buzz Send sends them. On Free, export and use your own email.
When does Buzzlist fit, and when does it not?
It fits when
- You serve one metro area.
- You can take on new accounts within a few weeks.
- You want each manager by name, with a mobile.
It does not fit when
- You only bid on public tenders. Those come from procurement portals.
- You need to know which buildings are unhappy with their current cleaner. No data source has that.
