MaidCentral Announces Return of “Smart Business Moves” for Special Live Event on Protecting Profit in a Shifting Market
Industry leaders Tom Stewart and Liz Trotter reunite for a free virtual event focused on helping cleaning business owners prepare for economic uncertainty.
Charleston, SC, May 29, 2026 --(PR.com)-- MaidCentral and Core Profit Builders today announced the return of Smart Business Moves, the widely followed business series that guided cleaning companies through the uncertainty of the COVID era. For one day only, industry leaders Tom Stewart and Liz Trotter will reunite live on June 2 from 12–4 PM EDT for a free virtual event: Protecting Profit in a Shifting Market.
The event is designed to help residential and commercial cleaning business owners navigate rising costs, changing consumer behavior, and growing operational pressure before market conditions worsen.
“If you were with us through COVID, you know what Smart Business Moves meant,” said Tom Stewart, CEO of MaidCentral. “For five years and 497 episodes, it became a lifeline for cleaning professionals trying to make smart decisions in uncertain times. We’re bringing it back because business owners are facing another major shift—and this time, preparation matters more than reaction.”
As inflation, labor costs, and customer spending habits continue to impact service businesses, the event will focus on practical strategies cleaning companies can implement now to protect profitability, stabilize operations, and stay ahead of market changes.
Liz Trotter, cleaning industry consultant and longtime Smart Business Moves co-host, emphasized the urgency many business owners are already feeling.
“Cleaning professionals are under pressure right now,” said Trotter. “Customers are pulling back. Costs keep rising. This conversation is about helping owners make smart, proactive decisions before those pressures become bigger problems.”
The virtual event will feature candid discussions, operational insights, and actionable business strategies drawn from both Stewart and Trotter’s decades of industry experience.
