This isn’t a beginner podcast.
It’s for owners and operators who are already in the business and ready to think differently about how they run it.

CBL EP 186 Your Pricing Is Wrong (Cleaning Pricing That Actually Works)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If your cleaning business isn’t as profitable as it should be, your pricing might be the problem—but not in the way you think.
In this episode, Shannon and Jamie break down the real issue behind undercharging in the cleaning industry. This isn’t about randomly raising your prices or copying competitors—it’s about understanding the math and building a pricing structure that actually supports profit.
They walk through the difference between flat rate and square foot pricing, where most business owners go wrong, and how to shift into pricing that works long-term.
If you’re working too hard for not enough return, this episode will help you reset your approach and start pricing like an operator.
What you’ll learn:
- Why most cleaning businesses undercharge
- The real difference between pricing models
- How pricing connects to your systems (not just your numbers)
- What it actually means to price for profit
