01

Setup · Days 1–3

Territory Activation

Head Office formally activates Sebenza Care Krugersdorp.

Define the exact territory and divide it into operating zones: residential suburbs, complexes/estates, CBD/business areas and surrounding approved service areas.

Create a Territory Master List containing suburbs, shopping centres, office areas, complexes, estate agencies, schools, churches, salons, guesthouses and other potential customers.

DeliverableCompleted territory map and target-market database structure.

Marketing · Days 10–30

Marketing Engine — Street & Community Activation

Marketing is not "put adverts on Facebook and wait." Krugersdorp runs a six-channel customer acquisition system. Channel 1 is street and community activation in targeted residential and commercial areas — branded agents with flyers and QR codes.

The objective isn't "hand out 1,000 flyers". It is "capture qualified prospects".

Each agent follows

  1. Approach→
  2. Introduce Sebenza→
  3. Identify need→
  4. Capture details→
  5. Offer quote→
  6. WhatsApp follow-up

Deliverable20 meaningful conversations per agent/day · 3 agents × 20 × 5 days = 300 weekly contacts.

07

Marketing

Facebook & Instagram Advertising

Do not advertise every service in one advert. Run separate campaigns:

  • Need Reliable Home Cleaning in Krugersdorp?
  • Give Your Garden a New Look
  • Need Something Fixed at Home?
  • Moving In or Moving Out?
  • Office & Business Cleaning

Every advert leads to

  1. Ad→
  2. WhatsApp→
  3. Qualification→
  4. Quote→
  5. Booking

Start with small controlled budgets. Increase spend on ads that produce profitable bookings — not likes or clicks.

Marketing

Google / Search Presence

People searching "cleaners near me", "cleaning services Krugersdorp", "garden services Krugersdorp" or "handyman Krugersdorp" already have buying intent.

Build the local search / business presence and systematically request genuine reviews after completed jobs.

Never purchase or manufacture reviews.

10

Sales

Property Partnership Campaign

List at least 50 estate agents and property managers in the territory; contact each individually.

Sebenza Property Turnaround

After-Service Process

Shortly after completion, ask for a service rating and whether everything was done satisfactorily. Then make the next relevant offer:

This is where one customer starts generating multiple transactions.

Retention

Recurring Revenue

Move from "How many jobs did we get?" to "How much of next month's revenue is already booked?"

CategoryExamples
1. Once-off jobsCleaning, painting, garden clean-ups, installations
2. Recurring residentialWeekly / fortnightly cleaning, gardening
3. Contract revenueOffices, businesses, property managers, complexes

A mature territory increasingly depends on categories 2 and 3.

Scale

Scale the Territory

Once Krugersdorp has predictable demand, divide the territory into smaller operating zones.

Each zone develops

The operator steps back from individual jobs and manages supervisors, sales, acquisition, financial performance and growth.
