Normally, We’d Keep This Secret – But It’s Too Good Not to Share!

At Time For You, we’ve always believed that the success of our franchisees is the ultimate testament to the strength of our business model. And every once in a while, a story comes along that’s simply too good to keep to ourselves.

This is the story of Angie, a franchisee whose journey epitomises the kind of driven, ambitious, and professional individuals we welcome into the Time For You family.

From 200 to 300 Clients – And Beyond

Angie’s progress over the last year has been nothing short of phenomenal. In just 12 months, she expanded her client base from 200 to 300 households, proving that with the right mindset, smart marketing, and solid business processes, incredible growth is possible.

So, what’s her secret?

1. Consistent, Multi-Channel Marketing – Angie sends out 61,000 leaflets per year to ensure her business is always top-of-mind. She also leverages social media through a virtual assistant and keeps a steady flow of pay-per-click advertising running to attract new clients.
2. Rapid Response to Enquiries – Speed is key. Angie makes sure she follows up on client leads immediately—even answering calls on Boxing Day! She knows that people reach out when they’re ready to buy, and being the first to respond makes all the difference.
3. A Personal, Professional Approach – She still believes in face-to-face meetings with clients, setting expectations early and maintaining a high standard of service. Little details—like using overshoes when entering homes—help her stand out as a truly professional cleaning provider.

The Turning Point: Confidence and Control

Every franchisee has that “aha” moment—the point where they stop chasing the wrong clients and start taking control of their business. For Angie, it was a client who expected to “interview” cleaners before hiring them.

Instead of bending over backwards to please a difficult customer, she simply walked away. That moment cemented her belief that she was in control of her business—not the other way around. And from then on, she made decisions that benefited her company’s growth, rather than draining her time and energy.

The Hardest Challenge? Recruiting Cleaners

Growing to 300+ clients wasn’t without its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles Angie faced was finding and retaining quality cleaners.

She overcame this by:

• Vetting candidates rigorously – Only those with cleaning experience, transport, and a commitment to long-term work made it through.
• Onboarding them properly – Using Trello boards and clear processes, she ensured a seamless introduction to her business.
• Building strong relationships – She checks in regularly, sends flowers for birthdays, and even steps in personally to help out in emergencies—showing her cleaners they are valued members of the team.

What’s Next?

With 400 clients in her sights for 2025 and a plan to transition to a limited company, Angie isn’t slowing down. She’s a shining example of what’s possible with Time For You, proving that with dedication, resilience, and the right support, franchisees can build a thriving business on their terms.
