Whether you are a residential cleaning service owner or a residential cleaning service consumer you need to decide how you will address the Want vs. Need decision. According to Merriam-Webster, want is defined as having a strong desire for something, & need is defined as lack of the means of subsistence. Need can be a dangerous place...unpredictable.
NEED and WANT can go two ways. They can occupy the same piece of real estate or they can be diametrically opposed. My experience leans to the latter.
If you are shopping for a residential cleaning service to clean your home, you will most likely interview 1 to 3 residential cleaning services. You have your criteria before you call and if the first residential cleaning service meets all of your criteria you will most likely end your search there.
When you call on a residential cleaning service to give you an estimate you will find:
Residential cleaning service owners that interview prospective maids every day will tell you there are two types of maid applicants. Maid applicants that want to work cleaning homes and those that need to get a job today.
Here is the thin ice part. Sometimes the same person can need the job and also want the job. My experience so far has taught me that this is a very small sliver of real estate. If you need a rule then stick with selecting those that want, rather those that need. This will save your hide more often than not.
