Post on Next Door! You could potentially also offer a first cleaning discount, depending on demand/volume. Set up a Google location so people can call and post reviews.

Additionally, I would allow people to itemize what they want cleaned vs. don't want cleaned (and allow this to change between cleaning services). I also recommend requiring a tour of the home from the client to 1) discuss what each itemized cleaning costs (e.g., $5 for a shower, dusting cost per room, vacuum/mop per room, etc.), 2) hear from the client in person what they want cleaned (you take notes), and 3) you can see the cleaning level of effort.

All of the above is how I found my current cleaner and reasons why I chose/stick with them.

Social media, the community pages that you want to work in

Go directly to short and long term residential rental property management companies, if you are competitive in pricing you will get work from property managers, there are never enough cleaners and maintenance resources for residential PMs. If you don’t mind working night shifts then you could consider commercial contracts as well.

I would also go to your local community page and post your services and contact information

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be).

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
