From Shy Cleaner to Power Connector with Ninoska Mallory of Cleanspot

What’s the difference between “pretty clean” and Cleanspot clean? In this episode of Connections That Matter, Andrew sits down with Ninoska Mallory, owner of Cleanspot, to talk about top-to-bottom cleaning, unforgettable client experiences, and how she went from shy networker in the corner to one of Northern Colorado’s most generous referral givers.

Ninoska shares how she built a reputation that gets her tagged in Facebook groups from every direction, the overlooked areas that are probably filthy in your home or office, and how she uses networking to create a whole ecosystem of trusted service providers for her clients.
