How do you get your first customers when nobody knows who you are?

In this episode of The Oven Cleaning Podcast, Ian shares the honest story of how he got his first 10 oven cleaning customers in just two weeks — without spending thousands on advertising.

From the very first booking, which came from someone spotting his van parked outside his house, to building a steady flow of enquiries through word of mouth, referrals and repeat business, this episode is packed with practical advice for anyone thinking about starting an oven cleaning business.

Ian explains why visibility matters more than complicated marketing strategies, how professional branding and van signage became his biggest source of enquiries, and why expensive Facebook and Google ads weren't the answer.

You'll also discover why leaflet drops didn't work, how local networking groups, estate agents and landlords generated early business, and the surprising impact repeat customers can have on your confidence and income.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Ian got his first customer

• How he reached 10 customers in just two weeks
