Job Overview

Independent Carpet Cleaning Technician & Sales Specialist

USA Carpet Cleaning Pros | Chicago & Surrounding Areas

YOUR INCOME IS IN YOUR HANDS

Are you an experienced carpet-cleaning professional who knows how to sell, upsell, and maximize every customer opportunity?

USA Carpet Cleaning Pros is looking for motivated Independent Carpet Cleaning Technicians & Sales Specialists who want to be their own boss and have an opportunity to significantly increase their income based on performance and sales ability.

This is not a traditional hourly job.

Your income is directly connected to how many jobs you complete and how much revenue you generate.

You earn 40% of the revenue from every job you complete, giving you a direct incentive to increase the value of every customer appointment.

SELL MORE. EARN MORE.

We send you the customer.

You turn the appointment into revenue.

A customer may initially book a basic carpet cleaning, but your job is to professionally evaluate the customer’s needs and identify additional services that can improve the results.

Potential services may include:

  • Carpet deep cleaning
  • Stain treatment
  • Pet odor treatment
  • Upholstery cleaning
  • Area rug cleaning
  • Mattress cleaning
  • Stair cleaning
  • Hallway cleaning
  • Spot treatments
  • Water-damage-related cleaning services
  • Other approved cleaning services

The better you are at identifying customer needs, explaining the value, and closing additional services, the more you can earn.

EXAMPLE OF YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL

If your average completed ticket is:

$250 → You earn $100

$500 → You earn $200

$750 → You earn $300

$1,000 → You earn $400

The opportunity is designed for someone who doesn’t want their income capped by an hourly wage.

WE PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY — YOU CREATE THE INCOME

USA Carpet Cleaning Pros helps keep your schedule filled with customer opportunities.

You are responsible for turning those opportunities into revenue through:

Professional service Customer experience Sales ability = Higher income

The technician who simply completes the original $150 cleaning will earn less than the technician who professionally identifies additional customer needs and turns that same appointment into a $500 service.

WE WANT SALES-MINDED TECHNICIANS

You should be comfortable talking with customers and recommending services.

You don’t need to be a pushy salesperson.

You need to be able to:

  • Ask the right questions
  • Inspect the customer’s carpet and upholstery
  • Identify cleaning needs
  • Explain problems and solutions
  • Explain the benefits of additional services
  • Provide professional recommendations
  • Present pricing confidently
  • Close additional services
  • Deliver excellent results
  • Ask for the sale

If you are uncomfortable selling, this opportunity probably isn’t for you.

YOU PROVIDE YOUR OWN BUSINESS TOOLS

As an independent subcontractor, you are responsible for providing:

  • Professional carpet-cleaning equipment
  • Reliable transportation
  • Cleaning chemicals
  • Hoses and accessories
  • Cleaning tools and supplies
  • Smartphone
  • Required PPE and safety equipment

REQUIREMENTS

Required:

  • Professional carpet-cleaning experience
  • Previous residential and/or commercial cleaning experience
  • Your own professional equipment
  • Reliable transportation
  • Your own chemicals and supplies
  • Strong customer-service skills
  • Strong communication skills
  • Comfortable selling and upselling services
  • Ability to work independently
  • Professional appearance
  • Reliable and punctual
  • Ability to travel throughout your assigned service area

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

We’re looking for someone who thinks like an owner, not an employee.

Someone who sees a customer appointment and thinks:

“How can I provide the best service while creating the most value for this customer?”

If you’re already good at carpet cleaning but know you could make significantly more money if you had a consistent flow of customers, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

NO HOURLY PAY. NO ARTIFICIAL INCOME CAP.

This is a 1099 independent contractor/subcontractor opportunity.

Your income depends on your:

Availability Production Sales Ability Customer Service

The more you sell and the more jobs you successfully complete, the greater your earning potential.
