Know which retail cleaning leads are worth assessment time
Every retail cleaning enquiry captures space type, square footage, and how often service is needed, plus photos of the space, so you know who's ready to approve before you send a crew.
The exact intake your retail cleaning leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Retail Cleaning — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified retail cleaning lead should tell you
Recurring or one-time cleaning of retail storefronts, showrooms, and shopping center units — covering sales floors, fixtures, restrooms, and stockrooms — scoped around store type, square footage, cleaning frequency, and whether the space stays open during service.

The questions your team needs answered
Every retail cleaning intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of retail space needs cleaning? | Store type shapes crew requirements and product needs — a grocery store scopes differently than a showroom or clothing boutique. |
| How large is the space that needs cleaning? | Square footage weight scales with size, so a 5,000+ sq ft mall unit or showroom scores higher than a small boutique needing a quick clean. |
| How often do you need this cleaning service? | Frequency separates one-time jobs from recurring weekly or daily contracts, letting you prioritize accounts with ongoing revenue potential. |
| Do you have the authority to approve this cleaning service? | Approval authority carries the highest weight in the catalog — a 'yes' means you're talking to someone who can sign off on the assessment, while a 'no' flags a lead that needs a decision-maker looped in first. |
| Is the store currently open for business during cleaning hours? | Whether the store stays open during cleaning determines if the job needs after-hours scheduling or can be worked around live foot traffic. |
| Which areas need attention? | The specific areas selected — restrooms, stockroom, fixtures, or entire store — let you scope labor and quote before a crew is ever dispatched. |

Built for retail cleaning workflows
| Cliont capability | Retail Cleaning application |
|---|---|
| Conditional scoring by square footage | Automatically weights over-5,000-sq-ft and 1,000-5,000-sq-ft retail spaces higher than under-1,000-sq-ft boutiques, so larger contracts surface first in your CRM. |
| Decision-maker flagging | Flags leads who answer 'no' to the approval-authority question so your team can request the actual store owner or manager before booking an assessment. |
| Multi-select scope capture | Uses the areas-needing-attention question to pre-build a job scope — floors, restrooms, stockroom, or entire store — before a crew is ever dispatched. |
| Store-hours scheduling logic | Captures whether the store is open during cleaning hours so quotes and crew assignments account for after-hours or live-traffic conditions. |
| Frequency-based lead segmentation | Separates one-time cleanings from daily, weekly, or monthly contracts so recurring retail accounts stand out from single-visit jobs in your CRM. |
Common retail cleaning lead scenarios
Large mall unit, no on-site owner
A shopping center unit over 5,000 sq ft comes in through a store manager rather than the owner, so the intake flags the missing approval authority before an assessment gets booked.
Recurring grocery store contract
A grocery store needs weekly or daily cleaning across the entire store, which scores differently than a one-time job because of the recurring-revenue frequency answer.
After-hours-only clothing boutique
A small clothing store stays open during business hours, so the store-open answer tells your team the job has to be scheduled around live foot traffic instead of after close.
One-time showroom deep clean
A showroom requests a single deep clean of floors and glass ahead of an event, with size marked 'not sure' — a lower-certainty size answer that still routes as a live opportunity.

Retail Cleaning lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a shopping center or mall unit differently from a standalone store?
The store-type question separates mall units, showrooms, grocery stores, and clothing stores into distinct categories, so your team can see at a glance whether a lead is a single storefront or part of a larger retail complex before scheduling an assessment.
What happens when someone answers 'Not sure' to the square footage question?
'Not sure' carries a lower weight than a confirmed size range like 1,000-5,000 sq ft or over 5,000 sq ft, so the lead still comes through but is flagged for a follow-up question rather than scored as a confirmed large-footprint job.
Can the intake tell if the person requesting the quote can actually approve the contract?
Yes — the approval-authority question is one of the highest-weighted fields in the catalog, so a 'yes' signals a decision-maker is on the line, while a 'no' tells your team to loop in the actual owner or manager before rolling a crew.
Does the intake capture whether the store is open during cleaning hours?
It does — that answer tells you whether the job needs to be scheduled after close or worked around live customer traffic, which affects crew size and timing before you commit to an assessment.
How does cleaning frequency change how a lead is routed?
One-time, daily, weekly, and monthly requests are captured separately, so recurring retail accounts can be routed to a different pipeline in your CRM than single-visit jobs.
What if the retail space needs attention in specific areas like restrooms or a stockroom, not the whole store?
The areas-needing-attention question lets property owners select floors, windows, restrooms, fixtures, stockroom, or the entire store, so your team can scope labor and pricing before the walkthrough instead of guessing on-site.
Is this the same intake used for office or school cleaning leads?
No — office cleaning, school cleaning, and medical facility cleaning each have their own subservice catalog on Cliont, built around the questions specific to those spaces rather than retail store type and square footage.
