  • Build relationships easily and make a great first impression.
  • Are self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently.

  • 10% commission on the 12-month value of customers who sign up for service, paid on top of hourly rate and estimate rate.
    Example: If a customer signs up for window cleaning valued at $500 for one year, you earn $50.00 in commission over the year.
