Your crew got a raise. Your contracts did not. That gap is where a cleaning company quietly loses money, and nothing on the invoice tells you it is happening.

This is The Install: one tool, one vertical, one appointment on your calendar by the end. Today the tool is The Creep Sheet and we are putting it in a cleaning company.

A worked example, not a client. You clean an office three nights a week for twenty five hundred dollars a month. Twelve months ago it cost you fifteen hundred a month to service, a forty percent margin. Then you gave your crew a raise in the spring and supplies went up twice. Today that account costs seventeen hundred. You did not change the contract. It is running at thirty two percent now. Eight points, gone quietly, and that is twenty four hundred dollars a year on one account.

The sheet is twenty accounts, three columns, and one rule. Forty five minutes on a Friday morning.

7:45 Recap and the free tool

Every figure in this episode is either structural or a clearly tagged worked example. There is no client, no case study and no claimed result.

The Creep Sheet is free and already built. It is one of the tools inside the Small Business MBA at notebookofacoo.com. Free forever, no card, and it is a fillable page in the app, not a download you have to print.
