Your business has grown.
Does everything still come back to you?
When every staffing problem and business decision comes back to you, growth can feel like more work. Build the systems and leadership that help your team take more responsibility.
Our Align Operating System (AOS) helps you identify what to build next. Purchase AOS Express to work through the system independently, then add Mastery Circle or private coaching when you want implementation support.

“Our weekly income has increased by 26%. Our payroll has decreased by 21%. Our call-outs have dropped 49%.”
Align Operating System (AOS)
AOS helps you see which part of your cleaning business needs attention next. Its three connected phases give your improvement work a clear structure. AOS Express is the self-directed program; ongoing coaching and accountability are separate support options.

Your business cannot depend on you for every decision.
Promoting someone does not automatically prepare them to manage people, own results, or lead other managers. Our manager Circles support those different responsibilities:
- Learn Circle for people and daily operations
- Build Circle for management with KPI responsibility
- Leadership Circle for senior leaders developing the capability to run the company

What owners say
Since we last saw each other at the end of Foundations in March 2024, so much has changed… Our weekly income has increased by 26%. Our payroll has decreased by 21%. Our call-outs have dropped 49%. … Simply put, Liz — I owe so much of my quality of life today to you.
We worked with Liz Trotter to solve our messiest problems. It wasn't easy, but in practically no time our businesses were growing faster than we thought possible. Now I have a full management staff, and faith that my business would be 100% self-sufficient without me.
It's official! One Organized Mom has moved into the ONE MILLION DOLLAR CLUB. We got there a lot faster with your guidance. Now on to $2M!

What residential cleaning companies ask us
What are the CPB Circles?
Owner Circles include Mastery Circle and Accelerator Circle, which is available after attending the Accelerator Experience. Manager Circles are Learn, Build and Leadership. Sales Circle supports salespeople, including owners who sell. AOS Express is a separate self-directed program. Find the support for your role.
What does Core Profit Builders do?
Core Profit Builders helps residential cleaning companies build a profitable business that can grow with less dependence on the owner. The Align Operating System gives the work a structure; role-specific coaching, practical tools and accountability help owners, managers and salespeople put improvements into action.
How do I develop my managers?
Choose based on the responsibilities the person holds or is preparing to take on. Learn Circle supports supervisors and managers handling people and daily operations, Build Circle adds KPI management, and Leadership Circle develops senior leaders. See Manager Development.
How do I stop being the bottleneck in my cleaning company?
Write down the standards you carry in your head, give every role clear outcomes, develop managers who can make decisions, and run a weekly meeting rhythm with a scoreboard so the work moves without you.
Where should I start?
Start with the need that matters most right now: owner implementation, manager development, sales, or one-on-one support. If you are not sure, chat with us. The free AOS Diagnostic helps identify gaps across the nine pillars so you can decide what to work on first.
