The American Business Awards are considered the nation’s preeminent business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

The American Business Awards will be presented at the ABA’s traditional banquet on Monday, June 22 in Chicago. More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration of this prestigious award.

TWO MAIDS & A MOP has experienced exponential growth by utilizing an extremely innovative sales and marketing process that generates a large number of qualified leads. Best of all, the company offers a unique employee compensation plan that serves as a tremendous employee motivational tool and an equally effective sales tool. Each customer provides a 1-10 numerical rating on their house cleaning and the number directly determines an employee’s total compensation. The company’s explosive growth is a direct result of its industry leading innovation.

“Twelve years ago, we created a vision to become the nation’s most innovative cleaning concept,” said Ron Holt, CEO and Founder of TWO MAIDS & A MOP. “Today’s announcement from the American Business Awards provides tangible proof that our brand is considered one of the leading concepts within the service industry.”

Just over twelve years ago, Ron Holt quit his cushy corporate job and decided to open a cleaning business along the gulf coast in northwest Florida. Ron’s early days were filled with chaos, stress and uneasiness. In fact, he didn’t receive his first paycheck until eighteen months after the grand opening. Today, Ron’s tiny cleaning service has grown from its humble beginnings in Pensacola and currently serves thousands of customers in multiple states across the country.

Two Maids & A MopTwo Maids & A Mop shifted its growth strategy from a corporate store expansion plan to franchising a couple of years ago. At the time, we employed nearly 160 people and served twelve markets across five US states. Business was booming and we had aggressive plans for expansion into other markets across the country. That’s when news of the employer mandate within Obamacare hit the news wires. At the time, we freaked out because our growth strategy was no longer viable. After a few months, we decided to learn more about the idea of franchising. Boy, are we glad that Obamacare forced our hand because our growth prospects are even brighter today. We’re growing faster than ever before and have even more aggressive growth plans now that franchising is a major focus. Check out this nationwide article from Yahoo News on our story!

Thankfully, we know our place in the marketplace today and are proud to provide a different type of cleaning service experience to our customers and franchise owners”, Holt stated.

The event was attended by more than 1,000 business-minded people from the Birmingham area and the Two Maids & A Mop stood tall against many of the area’s larger employers. Congratulations Two Maids & A Mop!!

Two Maids & A Mop is extremely honored to be a proud partner with Cleaning For A Reason, a nationwide charitable foundation that provides free house cleaning services to women undergoing cancer treatment. To date, our company has cleaned more than 1500 homes for women with cancer with a value of more than $200,000 in donated cleanings.

Earlier today, our company’s COO was interviewed by a local radio station about Cleaning For A Reason. The interview went great but the most precious moment occurred when a local Cleaning For A Reason patient spoke directly to David about her appreciation and admiration for the free service. It was a special moment and we’re so humbled to provide a service that makes a difference in these women’s lives.
