| What services do you offer? |
Magic Maids of Tulsa offers residential and business cleaning. We also offer power washing, carpet cleaning, move in/move out cleaning services, and window washing. |
| Why did you start the business? |
I started the business because of the love I have for cleaning. I love going to my families' homes and cleaning them when I would be visiting. Their friends started commenting on the cleanliness of the home and so my family member would recommend me to go and talk to them about cleaning their home. So I went over gave them a quote and then I was hired. I took off from there when they gave me referrals then I was eventually too busy to clean so I had to hire someone to help me. So I decided to open my business to the public and hire some very talented people that I could train the right way to clean and have them working for me. So Magic Maids of Tulsa was made. |

| What has been the biggest surprise, good or bad, since you started? |
The biggest surprise since I have only been open for a month is that I was the only one accepted to be in the Tulsa Worlds daily deals program for mothers day for cleaning service. |
| What is the toughest part of running your business? |
Toughest part would have to be making sure to follow up with the leads that went dead and the ones that never answered or the ones that blew you off when they called. The majority of my sales are the ones that I called at the beginning of the month and they did not need or they decided to cancel service. I stayed on them either by email mail or calling and eventually ended up with them being my client. |
| What is the best part of running your business? |
The best part is meeting all of the new people. |

I see our business growing and potentially employing over 100 plus people. |
