Before you watch the demo — let me ask you something.

01 The Problem

Have you tried any of this to grow your cleaning company?

Look — most lead sources are built for homeowners. Or they sell the same lead to 5 of your competitors. Or they charge a flat fee whether they deliver or not. Here's what most owners have already wasted money on:

✕
Bidding on Angi & Thumbtack
Fighting 4 other cleaners on price. The lead is shared. Most are home jobs that cancel in 3 months. You can't make money this way.
✕
Google or Facebook Ads
Spending $3K a month and getting mostly home cleaning leads — plus other cleaners hitting you up looking for jobs. The few real business leads you get cost $400+ each. Most don't even hire.
✕
Generic outbound agencies
They use cheap email lists. They send copy-paste emails. Your emails land in spam by week 4. You get two calls in 90 days — and they keep your retainer either way.
If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.
None of them were made for commercial cleaning. This is.
02 How We're Different

Here's what makes us different: you only pay when a real business asks for a quote.

No monthly fee. No ad spend. No "lead credits." The lead has to be real, just for you, and in your area — or it doesn't count.

  • ✓
    They want a quoteA real decision-maker says "yes, come walk through" or "send me a quote."
  • ✓
    Commercial — never homesIf a homeowner asks about their kitchen, you don't pay.
  • ✓
    In your area & a business you serveIt's in your zip codes and a type of business you handle.
  • ✕
    Wrong service?Doesn't count. They asked about something you don't offer.
  • ✕
    They thought we were the ones wanting a quote?Doesn't count.
"You only pay when you have a walkthrough scheduled or when you have a lead. No monthly fee, membership or anything like that. We are very pleased with the return."
— Gus, CEO of ProMaster Utah
"Sometimes André catches it before I do — saying 'this one doesn't count, they're clearly not looking for what you need.' That's before I've even opened the email."
— Christian, Owner of Delta Breeze
03 Show Me, Don't Tell Me

"Cool — but does it actually work?"
Here's a real email we sent.

This isn't a copy-paste email. Our system scanned the business's Google reviews. It found a customer complaint about cleanliness. Then it used that as the opening line.

04 When A Lead Replies

Here's what happens when one of them says yes.

The second a business says "yes, I want a quote," you get two emails. So you can call them back fast — not hours later.

Lead replies "Yes, send me a quote"

A real decision-maker says yes to one of our emails.

06 Real Talk On What You'll Get

"But who actually replies?"
Fair question. Here's the honest answer.

We pulled data from the last 300+ quote-ready leads we delivered to our clients. Here are the most common business types that come through.

🍽️
Restaurants & Cafes
🏋️
Gyms & Fitness
🩺
Medical & Dental
🛍️
Retail & Shops
🎓
Schools & Education
💆
Spa & Wellness
💼
Professional Offices
✨
+ Many Other Types
💡

Be realistic about the mix. About two-thirds of leads come from restaurants, gyms, medical practices, retail shops, and schools. Property management and real estate happen too, but they're a smaller slice — usually around 5% of total leads. Most of what you'll get is steady recurring contracts from normal local businesses.

✓

Don't want a certain type of business? We figure it out together on our quick call. Don't want restaurants? Off the list. Don't want churches? Off the list. Once we know what you want and don't want, we'll set up your campaign and quote a price per lead.

07 Who This Works For

Honest answer: we're not the right fit for everyone.

A bad fit hurts both of us — your money, our name. Read this before you apply. We'd rather have the awkward talk now than three months in.

✓

You'll love working with us if…

  • You get how cold email works.
    Our clients close 1 out of every 6.72 leads on average. Strong sellers close more. Weaker ones close less. If that number shocks you, that's just how cold email works — it's not us.
  • You're realistic about who replies.
    We can target by type of business and zip code. We can't filter by building size, contract size, or how often they need cleaning. That's for you to find out on the call.
  • You reply to leads within an hour.
    How fast you reply matters more than anything else. We've seen this with all 29 of our clients.
  • You stay on leads who go quiet.
    Most people who say "yes I want a quote" will get busy, look at other companies, or forget. That's normal. Friendly follow-up over the next few weeks is what wins the deal. The reply is the lead. Closing it is your job, and it usually takes more than one email.
  • You can wait 60–90 days for full results.
    First lead: in about a week. First sale: around 30 days in. Steady money back: month 2 or 3. You need cash to bridge that gap.
✕

This probably isn't a fit if…

  • You expect every lead to convert.
    Cold email is a numbers game. Strong sellers close 1 in 5. Weaker sellers close 1 in 10. If 1 in 7 sounds bad to you, this isn't right for you yet.
  • You only want big enterprise deals.
    We mostly send normal local businesses — offices, churches, schools, restaurants. Big Class-A office deals happen sometimes, but they're rare.
  • Same-day replies aren't doable for you.
    Hot leads cool down fast. If your team can't reply within a few hours, you'll lose deals.
  • You want to dispute leads who go quiet after 1 message.
    A real "yes I want a quote" is still a real lead, even if they go quiet later. Closing them is on you.
  • You need positive ROI in 30 days.
    Commercial cleaning deals take time. If your cash is tight right now, wait until you have more runway.
1 : 6.72
Our clients' average close rate. About 1 out of every 7 leads we send turns into a real contract. Strong sellers close more. If 1-in-7 sounds low, cold email isn't your issue — sales math is.
If the left column sounds like you, we'd love to talk.
If the right column hit closer to home, no hard feelings — we're probably not the right fit right now.
08 Why We Can Promise This

Four things no other agency can deliver.

01
Every lead is just for you.
Even if we work with another cleaner near you, we set up totally separate email systems for each client. When a lead replies, only you get it.
02
You pay per lead — not per month.
Most cleaning lead agencies charge $2K–$5K a month — even when they don't deliver. We only charge when a real business asks you for a quote. We win when you win.
03
Commercial cleaning. Only.
We don't do homes. Every email account we set up, every list we build, every email we write is made for commercial cleaning contracts. That focus is why our reply rates beat the industry.
04
AI emails that don't sound like AI.
We add real signals to every email — like bad Google reviews about cleanliness and local details. Our system writes emails that sound human, not like ChatGPT.

A Quick Word From Us

Why we only do commercial cleaning.

We're André & Johannes, the co-founders of Zukuma. We came from marketing. We saw the same problem at every cleaning company we worked with: too many home cleaning leads from Angi, not enough business contracts that actually pay the bills.

So we built Zukuma to do one thing: connect cleaners with businesses that want a quote. No homes. Just commercial.

That's why our emails land in inboxes 2x more than the industry. That's why our copy works. That's why every lead is just for you. We only get paid when you win.

12 Got Questions?

Probably. Here are the ones we get most.

What counts as a "qualified lead"?
A real decision-maker at a commercial property in your area who asked for a walkthrough or quote. We don't charge for unsubscribes, bounces, "no thanks" replies, home jobs, or anyone outside your area. If it's not a real lead, you don't pay — and you can flag any lead you think shouldn't count.
Are leads really just for me?
Yes. Even if we work with another cleaner near you, we use totally separate email accounts, separate sending domains, and separate lists for each client. When a lead replies, only you get it.
What kind of businesses will I get?
Mostly normal local businesses — offices, churches, schools, restaurants, shops, doctor offices, gyms, light industrial, and a few property management deals. If you only want Class-A office towers or big property management deals, this isn't for you. Most of what you get will be steady contracts from local businesses.
How much does each lead cost?
It depends on your service area, the types of businesses you want and a few other factors. For current clients, it ranges from $89 to $149. We can give you an exact price per lead after a quick call.
How fast will I see results?
Campaigns go live within 48 hours of signing. First real replies usually come in the first week. Most clients book their first walkthrough in week 1 or 2 and hit a steady rhythm by month 2.
We've tried cold email before — why is this different?
Because you probably used a cheap list, sent copy-paste emails from one email account, and landed in spam. We set up 100+ separate inboxes, warm them up over time, build custom lists, write personalized emails (see the demo above), and rotate sending. Getting in the inbox and hitting the right people is the whole game.
Do I need a sales rep to handle the leads?
No, but you (or someone on your team) needs to follow up fast — same day if you can. We send hot leads with full contact info and CC you on the email thread. If you're an owner who's good at booking walkthroughs and closing, this works great. If you don't follow up or don't get sales, no system will save you.
Who is this NOT a fit for?
Three types: (1) Brand-new owners who haven't closed a commercial deal yet — we bring leads, you close them. (2) Owners who only want big property management deals. (3) Anyone who doesn't follow up or doesn't get sales. (See the full fit check above for more.)
