900 is to low

Racist

I think the problem is the bigger the company, the more they spend on unecessary things that make them believe they need to mark things upwards of 500%

As a wireless business to business account manager, I agree with service titan. Any customer I have with it loves it. Also most wireless companies have deals for tablet service

You need to work on that 55% efficiency! That's on you Bud You should be at 88% efficiency at worst.

I work in construction. Nobody charges that much for plumbing. If you believe that, you must be a lunatic or you do plumping on the moon.

This is always a goed idea. I'm not in the US and here it's pretty standard to receive a very detailed estimate and invoice. Saves you the discussion with the contractor and you can see who offers the best service for the best price. It also helps you when using an estimate to negotiate a price by a second, third en even fourth contractor.

Definitely not a potable water pipe there ! That’s probably a fire sprinkler line

Master plumber in n.j. been on my own for 6 years doing service work on referals with no advertising. I want to get to the next step. Enjoy your pod cast. Thanks.

I was following untill $1000 average ticket. I do service work and this is crazy to me.

youtube makes it easier for DIY homeowner to save money, not on most thing mind you but on quite a few.

"I didnt think about the numbers when running my business so I just pass the high costs onto the customer" 🤡

That’s a roof drain. Not a supply line for water

You noticed he said he's getting ripped off he didn't say he would be losing money. No bigger than his shop is he could be the GM and save money but he would still probably charge the same.

Trades should price themselves based on how much the client can pay. Average residence? Keep it reasonable. Business or rich motherfucker? Skies the limit

That’s a storm drain

then maybe you should stop trying to scrape profits off other people.

Looks like a fire suppression system to me

What the fuck he needs to do to me if he wants $600😂 My dentist in 20min makes one teeth and charge $100 so it is $300😂/h

Not a supply line.

Tesla is garbage not worth a spit in a bucket.. and Elon is just a elitist buffoon but I see threw his shit

HP +5 RADS 20

Extra protein

Thats exactly why i like my poland spring bottled water 💧

Why do you think I'm 6' 3"? I git those growth hormones for free 💪

Yeah alright no jokes from me that shits just nasty

It looks fine to me

Not a chance in hell.

I'm not sure if I understand you want me to pay more than the 1500 I paid for my hot water heater because you don't think you're making enough fucking money or the 3500 that I paid for my furnace because you don't think tradesmen are making enough money if they want to make more money go out on your own to start your own business taken all that cash Had a clogged toilet didn't have a snake Had to call a plumber $700 for a clock toilet and you don't think that's enough money fu you I'm not independently wealthy I have other bills to pay

First, that isn't even a supply line. Second, none of that is harmful. Regardless should be filtering your water anyways.

Thats a drain line not supply

Give you a nickel if you take a drink!

It adds character

It adds essential vitamins and minerals!

adds to the flavor

That’s pipe water not tap water

It’ll be alright

If they all agreed to raise prices it would work, but just a few will cause fewer customers/refferals/repeats. If the price hike is trade-wide the customer has no choice. It’s the worker that is not understanding his value. The companies they work for charge an arm and a leg the actual technician gets fingernail clippings. The workers can demand higher wages in line with the companies rates.

I believe in capitalism to an extent but boomers and KZbinrs have beat it to death Boomers ruined real-estate and youtubers are in the process of fucking up the farm industry with there I live on a 6 acre ranch and have worthless miniature animals now we pay 5 times the amount of anything at are big bulk farm stores change my mind

Don’t worry. These AI bots will soon be replaced by illegal immigrant AI bots. Lol

Clogged toilet that is fixed 30 minutes after arrival? That’ll be $500. Get real, they’re trying not to be greedy like the national corporations. Plus if you upcharge a client, you’re basically ensuring they look for someone else the next time they’d need your trade.

I give up trying to fix things for people ..... In the last 3 years people didn't want to pay..... Everything's for sale,... Retire at 37

I realized, which is why I make $120k a year workings 3 days a week 😂

I wish this was true. People want everything for free.

Can confirm how easy it is to do the work yourself. Had a plumber give me an estimate on replacing the plumbing under my sink and unclog the drain. Over $1200 was how much he said it'd cost. Needless to say I'm not mentally retarded and told him pass. $70 bucks and 2 hours later, including a total of 40 min of driving, and I had replaced the sink plumbing myself and unclogged it myself. 1200? Go fuck yourself. If he'd said 120, I'd prob had done it. Raise prices? Try lowering your prices by a factor of 10, and you might get customers.

Tradesman are only as valuable as the work that’s around them. Which in this day and age ain’t much at ALL. There aren’t any good ways to make money in America anymore without going into massive debt to start a business and even then, there’s a good 75+% chance that you’re going to fail.

That's 100% not what it is chief what it is is the fair market price meaning if I don't do it at that price someone else not only will buy currently is

Do you use Angi to generate work?

I think it’s also about most tradesman came from blue collar homes and they are more likely to know the struggle of not having money. And they don’t want to put people in that position. Atleast that’s how I felt when I did construction

Bruh these companies have no problem raising the rates it’s the worker that’s scared to ask for more money. Know what your worth. HVAC companies are charging customers $200 an hour plus mark ups on parts. Usually 1.75. I barely hear or seen anyone making more than 45-50 an hour. Most aren’t even making 40. Unless you’re in a union or very skilled at your job. Even at 50 that’s only 25% of the hourly rate. Most trades jobs are hurting for workers. Not even skilled ones because who the fuck wants to work out in 90+ degree heat or 30 degrees or less and deal with shit customers and ran 10-12 hrs everyday. For shit wages that barely pay your bills because of this shit economy.
