Marketing for commercial cleaning. Contracts renew quietly. Or they don't.
Commercial cleaning is a contract business, which means the revenue risk is not a missing lead — it is an account that stopped hearing from you nine months before the renewal.
Three things that are probably true right now
The renewal you found out about at renewal
A contract comes up in six weeks and the last real conversation was the onboarding call. The incumbent advantage is enormous and entirely wasted if the relationship went silent.
One building out of five
You clean one site for a company that operates five. Nobody has asked about the other four, because asking is a task without an owner.
The facilities manager who changed jobs
Your main contact moved to another company that also needs cleaning, and took no relationship with them because nothing prompted the conversation.
Your workspace uses your words
Pick Home & field services when you sign up and the CRM relabels itself. These are the actual headers your records get — not an illustration of them.
Anything here that still is not your language can be renamed, and you can add the fields you need to any of these objects.

The personas your workspace starts with
Seeded on day one, with the message angle already written. Edit them, delete them, add your own — but you are not starting from an empty screen and a blinking cursor.
Emergency repair
acquisitionHomeowners with a broken system who need same-day service.
A fast, upfront-priced fix when something stops working.
New install / replacement
acquisitionHomeowners replacing or installing a major system.
A right-sized system and financing that fits the budget.
Maintenance member
engagementCustomers on or ready for a maintenance membership.
Keep it running and skip the emergency with a service plan.
Commercial account
retentionFacility managers and commercial property owners.
Priority service and one vendor for every location.
What Arc watches for
Every one of these arrives as an opportunity with its evidence attached, so you can see why Arc raised it before you decide anything.
Accounts going quiet
Contract accounts with no logged interaction in a period that should have had several — the earliest visible churn signal you get.
Expansion inside existing accounts
Customers worth growing rather than replacing — additional sites, additional services, additional scope.
Referral and partner lanes
Property managers and facilities contacts who have sent work before and have not lately.
A campaign worth running again
When an approach beat your baseline, Arc proposes repeating it with the angle and segment that made it work.
What a renewal quarter would look like
Written as what would happen, because it is what the product does — not a customer story we do not have yet.
- 01Arc surfaces contracts renewing in the next quarter that have had no substantive contact in ninety days, ranked by what they are worth.
- 02It drafts a check-in for each — grounded in that account's own service history, not a template that could go to anyone.
- 03For multi-site accounts it drafts a second message about the locations you do not currently service.
- 04Everything waits in approvals. You send the ones that are right, and kill the two where you know a check-in would land badly.
- 05Replies and meetings attach to the account, so the picture at renewal is a record rather than a recollection.
What you still set up yourself
The vocabulary, personas and pipeline stages above arrive configured — the stages as a starting set for commercial cleaning and facilities companies, which you rename, reorder or add to in a couple of minutes if your process differs.
What is genuinely yours to do: bring your records in, point Arc at your website so it learns your voice and proof points, and connect the channels you actually send through. Nothing goes out to a customer until you approve it.
Nothing reaches a customer until you approve it.
Arc finds the opportunity, drafts the campaign, and prepares the creative. You decide what actually goes out — on every piece, with no setting that turns the gate off.
