House Cleaning Service Arrangement
Discussing cleaning services with a housekeeping company, covering frequency, tasks, and pricing
Situations
Choose from 5 conversations to practice
Initial Service Inquiry and Quote Request
A potential customer calls or visits the housekeeping company's office to inquire about their services, explain their basic needs for house cleaning, and request a preliminary quote. This involves discussing the size of their home and general cleaning expectations.
Detailed Needs Assessment and Customizing Services
The customer provides more specific details about their cleaning requirements, such as frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), specific areas to focus on (e.g., kitchen deep clean, bathroom scrubbing), and any special requests (e.g., pet-friendly products, window cleaning). The company outlines available service packages and customizes a plan.
Discussing Pricing Models and Payment Terms
The conversation focuses on the cost of services. This includes understanding the pricing structure (hourly, flat rate per visit, package deals), discussing potential discounts for recurring services, and clarifying payment methods and schedules (e.g., upfront, after service, monthly billing).
Scheduling the First Service and Confirmation
After agreeing on the service scope and pricing, the customer and the company work together to set a date and time for the initial cleaning service. This involves confirming availability, exchanging contact details, and receiving a final confirmation of the appointment.
Addressing Specific Cleaning Preferences/Restrictions
The customer communicates any specific preferences or restrictions regarding cleaning products (e.g., eco-friendly, allergy-safe), access to the property, handling of delicate items, or areas not to be touched. The company confirms their ability to accommodate these requests.
