How the guides are written

Every guide is written by Zotex Media from what we see across 10,000+ delivered leads and 120+ cleaning company clients, then checked against the sources it cites. City guides quote the actual procurement portals, chambers and employers by name. Facility playbooks use the pricing structures our clients win with. Nothing is invented and nothing is padded.

Questions a guide does not answer belong on the strategy call.

FAQ

Which guide should I start with?

If you have never sold a commercial account, start with how to get commercial cleaning contracts. If you already have accounts and want more of a specific kind, go straight to that facility type's playbook.

Do the playbooks apply outside the United States?

The pricing structures, walkthrough questions and proposal advice apply anywhere. Licensing, insurance and bid-portal details are US-specific unless a city guide says otherwise; we cover Canadian metros on the markets page.

How often are new guides published?

A new facility or city guide publishes most weeks, and existing guides are updated when a price, a portal or a rule changes. The date on each guide is the last update.

Can I get leads for just one facility type?

Yes. You choose the facility types and contract sizes on the strategy call and we cut the target list to match. See janitorial leads by facility type.
