    When Should You Fire a Cleaning Customer?
    Years ago the phrase was coined, "The customer is always right." But this is not always a true statement, and keeping extremely demanding or troublesome customers may be biting into your profits. When you first started your cleaning business you were no doubt eager to get any paying customer you could get to sign on. But do you have customers whose phone calls you don't want to answer?

    Six Ways to Get the Best Results from Your Grant Writer
