Appointment setting for commercial cleaning
booked walkthroughs with facility managers

Dedicated Egypt-based callers who prospect offices, medical facilities, and industrial sites, get past the gatekeeper, and put qualified walkthroughs on your calendar. From $850–$1,500 per caller/month (£650–£1,200).

Commercial cleaning contracts are not won on the phone — they are won at the walkthrough. A single office contract at $2,500 a month is worth $30,000 a year, usually for multiple years. But you cannot quote until you have walked the building, and you cannot walk the building until someone gets the facility manager to agree to a time. That someone is the role most janitorial companies never manage to staff: prospecting is the first thing dropped whenever operations get busy, which is exactly why growth stalls at the size one owner can personally sell.

Speed Outsourcing staffs that role. Dedicated callers work your target list of offices, medical and dental practices, schools, gyms, and industrial units every day, navigate reception, reach the decision-maker, and book walkthroughs your estimator just turns up to.

What your cleaning callers handle

Walkthrough appointment setting

The core service: structured outbound calling to commercial prospects in your service area, qualifying each building before anything hits your calendar — approximate square footage, current provider and contract situation, cleaning frequency, and who actually signs. A booked walkthrough with a decision-maker present is the deliverable; everything else is a disposition logged in your CRM for the next pass.

Gatekeeper navigation and decision-maker mapping

Janitorial buying decisions hide behind reception desks. Callers are trained to work past "just email info@" — identifying whether the facility manager, office manager, practice manager, or a regional property management firm holds the contract, and building that intelligence into your list so every future touch lands closer to the signature.

Renewal-window follow-up

Most commercial cleaning contracts renew annually, and a facility manager annoyed with their current provider in March will still be under contract until September. The callers log renewal months and dissatisfaction signals, then re-approach on schedule — so your pipeline fills with buildings entering their decision window rather than cold "we're happy, thanks" conversations.

Overflow call handling for residential franchises

For maid-service and residential cleaning franchises, the problem inverts: inbound quote calls arriving while every office staff member is dealing with scheduling chaos. We provide overflow and full inbound coverage — answering in your brand, quoting from your pricing matrix, booking cleans into Jobber or ZenMaid, and handling reschedules and cancellations that otherwise eat your morning.

An example moment from a janitorial campaign: "Hi, this is Nadia calling on behalf of [Your Cleaning Co] — we clean several offices on the industrial estate off Mill Road. Quick question: when your current cleaning contract last came up for renewal, did anyone actually walk the building and re-quote it, or did it just roll over? … That's what we hear a lot. We're not asking you to switch today — our estimator is doing 20-minute walkthroughs in your area Thursday; if the numbers aren't better, you've lost nothing." Booked for Thursday, 14:30, facility manager attending.

Why a dedicated caller beats "when we have time"

Commercial cleaning prospecting only works with consistency: a good caller has 60–80 conversations a day, and industry benchmarks put walkthrough bookings at roughly 1–3 per 100 decision-maker conversations. That maths never works as a side task for an operations manager — it works as a dedicated seat that dials every day. One additional mid-sized contract typically covers the caller's entire monthly cost several times over, and the contract keeps paying for years.

Pricing

$850–$1,500 per caller/month

(£650–£1,200) · Month to month · £0 setup · Teams from 2 seats · Live in about 7 days

Where you sit in the band depends on calling hours and whether the seat is pure outbound appointment setting or blended with inbound overflow coverage. Flat monthly rate per dedicated caller — no per-appointment fees, no per-minute billing. Full breakdown on the pricing page. Compare a US or UK in-house setter at $3,000+ (£2,400+) per month loaded, who still needs a manager to keep the dials up.

Frequently asked questions

How much does appointment setting for commercial cleaning companies cost?

Dedicated cleaning-industry callers cost $850–$1,500 per caller per month (£650–£1,200), billed month to month with £0 setup, starting from 2 seats, and typically live in about 7 days. The rate is flat per caller — there are no per-appointment fees that tempt setters to book unqualified walkthroughs.

How many walkthroughs should one caller book?

A full-time caller working a clean commercial list typically books 8–15 qualified walkthroughs per month, depending on territory density, list quality, and how contested your market is. Because one mid-sized office contract is often worth $25,000–$40,000 over its life, a single closed deal usually pays for the seat many times over.

Do you provide the prospect list, or do we?

Either works: many clients supply a territory list from their own data or a list broker, and we can also help build one from business directories filtered by building type and area before calling starts. Every call enriches the list with decision-maker names, renewal months, and current-provider intelligence that stays in your CRM.

What gets qualified before a walkthrough reaches my calendar?

Every booking is checked against your criteria — building type and approximate square footage, cleaning frequency required, current provider and contract renewal window, and confirmation that the person attending can influence the decision. Anything that fails qualification is logged with a follow-up date instead of wasting your estimator's time.

Can you also answer calls for our residential cleaning franchise?

Yes — alongside commercial appointment setting we run overflow and full inbound coverage for residential franchises, answering in your brand, quoting from your price book, and booking or rescheduling cleans directly in Jobber, ZenMaid, or Housecall Pro. Franchise groups often start with two seats shared across locations.
