Phony · AI Sales Developer
Win the contracts that keep your crews busy on Tuesdays
Residential work comes in through Google and referrals. Commercial janitorial, property managers and turnover work usually have to be chased. Phony's AI Sales Developer does the chasing: research, personal outreach, follow-ups and booked walkthroughs.

Writes like you would
Each message references the prospect, their building or listings, and why your company is a fit. No mail-merge blasts.
Books the walkthrough
When a prospect says yes, Phony schedules the walkthrough on your calendar and hands over a full history.
Outbound is how cleaning companies fill the gaps
Recurring residential clients are great, but they cluster on the days people want their homes clean before the weekend. The steady weekday and evening work that keeps a crew fully booked usually comes from commercial accounts: offices, clinics, gyms, apartment common areas, builders who need post-construction cleans.
Those buyers rarely search for you. Someone has to find them, figure out who makes the decision, and follow up four or five times without being annoying. Most owners know they should do it and never have the time. Phony's AI Sales Developer does that work every day.
- Commercial janitorial: offices, medical and dental practices, gyms, churches, retail
- Property managers and HOAs: common areas, unit turnovers, move-outs
- Short-term rental hosts and co-hosts: turnover cleans on a tight checkout clock
- Realtors and stagers: pre-listing and move-out cleans
- Builders and remodelers: post-construction cleans
Research first, then a message worth reading
Phony builds lists from the segments and service area you choose, then researches each account before it writes. For a property management company, that might mean noting how many buildings they manage near your base. For an Airbnb host, it might mean their number of listings and the turnover pressure that comes with same-day checkouts.
Messages go out as sequences across email and other channels you approve, with follow-ups spaced out and stopped the moment someone replies. You can review sequences before launch, set your own tone, and keep certain accounts off-limits.
- Prospect lists built around your service area and max drive time
- Personal first lines based on real research, not a template variable
- Multi-step follow-ups that stop automatically on a reply
- Your approval on sequences, tone and do-not-contact lists
From reply to walkthrough without re-typing anything
When a prospect replies with interest, Phony answers basic questions about your services and coverage, then offers walkthrough times pulled from your real calendar. The booked walkthrough shows up in the schedule like any other assessment, assigned to whoever does your commercial bids.
Every touch, reply and booked meeting lands on the company and contact in the erp.io CRM and moves the deal through your pipeline. After the walkthrough, your quote goes out from the same record, and the signed contract comes back through erp.io Sign.

A day with maid.co
Filling a crew that finishes at 2 p.m.
Say your second crew is fully booked with recurring homes from 8 to 2, then drives back to the shop. You'd like to fill their late afternoons with small office cleans within 15 minutes of their last stop.
You point Phony at small offices, dental practices and property managers in three zip codes. Over the next few weeks it researches each one, sends a short note about after-hours cleaning that fits around their staff, and follows up. A dental office manager replies asking about a Friday-evening clean and a monthly deep clean.
Phony books a walkthrough for Wednesday at 3. The office manager's details, the whole email thread and the practice's address are already on the CRM record when your lead cleaner arrives. The quote goes out that night.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this spam?
It should not be, and the tools are built to prevent that. Outreach is aimed at businesses that plausibly buy cleaning, inside your service area, with messages based on research about them. Sequences stop on a reply, respect unsubscribes and do-not-contact lists, and you approve the tone before anything sends. Low, relevant volume beats blasting every time.
Who are the best prospects for a maid service?
It depends on your crews. Residential-heavy companies often do well with realtors, property managers and short-term rental hosts, because the work looks like what they already do. Companies with evening capacity or dedicated commercial crews usually target small offices, medical practices and gyms. You can run different sequences for each segment and compare what comes back.
Can it handle replies on its own?
It can answer routine questions about services, coverage and availability, and book a walkthrough on your calendar. Anything about pricing on a large contract, special requirements, insurance certificates or legal terms gets routed to you or your sales person, with the whole thread attached. You choose how much it handles before a human steps in.
How does this connect to quoting and contracts?
Prospects become companies and contacts in the erp.io CRM, and deals move through the same pipeline as your inbound requests. After the walkthrough you build the quote from that record, send it for e-signature, and once it is signed the recurring jobs are created in the service module. Nothing needs to be re-entered.
Do I need a sales person to use it?
No. Many owners run it themselves and only step in for walkthroughs and pricing. If you do have someone selling commercial work, Phony gives them a steady flow of warm conversations instead of cold lists. Either way, you see every sequence, reply and booked meeting in one place.
