When I started my cleaning business, I went to a local janitorial supplies store and talked to the owner, and, one thing that he told me that was so true was that there were a lot of new business owners they came and bought ten of thousands worth of equipment and he never sees them again.

Step 3. Start small
Before you know how to price your service you will struggle a lot, but don't worry. Charge minimum and ask your client for reviews after that.
when I first start, I didn't have any reviews on google and I work for some clients for $15 hr and I did great job and ask them for reviews on google.
And this strategy works well for me.

Grow gradually your windows cleaning business
Success doesn't walk fast, especially at the beginning of the stage. After getting a couple of sales and making your first $10k, than $20k and than after that $100k
It might take longer to get to $20k than it will take to get to $100k. Before you can get to a certain income level, there a some personal growth that is required. You will need to become the person that can handle the success.
After making a certain amount you will need to start delegating, you will need to leverage other people's talents and skills so you can focus on what matters most to grow your business. Groth is not happening like this, the business owner has to grow before the business can grow.
Creating a system that can help you manage your success is necessary, you can't grow your business over $20k without having a system.
You will need different systems, like a payroll system, a management system, a scheduling system etc. You will need also, a CRM that will help you manage your customer list.
Be reliable
Be consistent on delivering quality services, your performance or ability to provide excellent service will help your customers to trust you and refer you to their friend and family.
I have received calls from customers and when I ask them how they find my number and tell me names that I never remember I met before.
It is essential, if you provide great service you will have the opportunity to ask your customers for reviews.
Ask for reviews
Some customers before they book your service will google or go on Facebook to look for your business and what others say about your service.
People trust good reviews, and if you have great reviews on Google, Facebook, thumbtack, or Angie you will likely have a great opportunity to get some more clients organically along the way.
