Rapport · 1-2 min

Build connection. Confirm they are ready to talk. Set the 10-minute expectation.

Call Type

Say This
Hi, is this [First Name]? Great! This is [Your Name] from Dust and Shout. You just reached out about cleaning services. Did I catch you at a good time for a quick chat?

Perfect! I would love to learn a little about your home and what you are looking for so I can put together an accurate quote. It usually takes about 10 minutes. Sound good?

Capture

Past Experience · Discovery

Learn what they've used before. What they liked tells you what to match. What they didn't tells you what to fix.

Ask This
Have you ever used a cleaning service before?

[If yes:] What did you like about them? And what didn't you like? [Listen carefully. Their complaints are your differentiators.]

Used a Service Before?

Their WHY · Discovery

This is the anchor for the whole call. Write it down word-for-word. Use it when they hesitate.

Ask This
What made you reach out today?

[Listen for the pain point. This is their WHY. Do not interrupt.]

Is there anything specific driving you to look for cleaning help right now?

Pain Points (one per line)

One pain point per line. These become the numbered PAIN POINTS in the ZenMaid notes. Quote them back later: “You mentioned you're exhausted trying to keep up. That's exactly what we're here to take off your plate.”

The Home · Discovery

Address and type of clean. This choice drives everything that comes next.

Ask This
Let's talk about the property. What's the address?

And is this a home we're cleaning, or a commercial space?

Service Details

If they're unsure: “Is it closer to 1,500, 2,000, or 2,500+?”
More than 6 months or never = initial clean will be more intensive.

Walk the Home · Discovery

Go room by room. Don't rush. This determines the quote.

Ask This
How many bedrooms? How many bathrooms? Is there a great room or separate living space? Office? Any pets?

Condition & Frequency · Discovery

Honest condition read. Position recurring as the default. Access plan.

Ask This
How would you describe the condition of the home right now? Pretty well maintained, about average lived-in, or has it been a while since a deep clean?

Are you looking for a one-time clean or regular recurring service? [Recurring is the default. Frame it positively: 20% off every clean, same team every time.]

They said yes (or close to it). Transition immediately. Don't give them time to second-guess.

Booking
Great! Let's get you on the calendar. You mentioned [day] works well. I have [specific time] available. Does that work for you?
Deposit
To lock in your spot, we do collect a $100 deposit that gets applied directly to your first clean. So it's not an extra charge, it just secures your appointment. I can send a link right now with a secure portal to add a credit or debit card.
Cancellation Policy
One thing to know: we have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If something comes up just give us a two-day heads up. Inside of 48 hours it's a 50% fee, just protects the cleaner who blocked their day for you.
Confirmation
Perfect. You're all set for [day, date] at [time]. You'll get a confirmation text shortly, and a reminder the day before. Our team will arrive in a Dust and Shout shirt with all supplies. Any questions for me?
