Room 😊, but yes be and look professional and you are treated that way and it is a service we are all providing not just the elbow grease. Brilliant video mate cheers 😁.....keep your van clean too it speaks volumes, for me the cab is my office and the rear is my workshop and shows the customers you are professional 😊

Hi Ashley. I was listening to a podcast a couple of weeks ago by a high end carpet cleaner and he made a good point. He said the higher he priced jobs the cleaner the carpet was when he arrived at the job. 🤔

Squeaky Clean Dave Yeah, that’s interesting. So those people looked after their carpet in the first place I suppose. It’s probably the same people who tidy up before the cleaner comes.😃👍🏼

I had the same price structure for years, then I realised that my fuel bill was growing.. so I put £5 on every job, I had over 50% of my customers leave and use the man in a car lol... took me over a year to rebuild my customer base, but infact now i have a better customer base who understand running costs..
@aemackintosh

cns worx Lesson learnt. I try to have a fairly regular routine for price rises, so my customers expect it and are used to it every year or two. In fact I’ve been using this change of approach as an opportunity to also put some prices up.😃👍🏼

paul hopkins It depends what you charge I suppose. But generally I do find it more lucrative. Pressure washing kit can be more expensive to buy and maintain though, and is more seasonal. Window cleaning keeps me going all year round.😃👍🏼

How to justify higher prices: don't. You can't have everybody as a customer. If a potential customer thinks you are too expensive, they can use another provider. Set a price for your time and stick to it.

Hi there, if you are VAT registered, do you give your price + VAT or including VAT, or do you include VAT but not mention VAT at all in your quote? I've only found one company that gives the price + VAT. We've just started giving the price + VAT simply so the customer can see the lower quote price, rather than a higher number. What are your thoughts please?
@aemackintosh
@aemackintosh 4 жыл бұрын
I don’t currently charge VAT but yeah, I think why not show the lower price and the VAT price on top. It highlights to the customer that you are a professional business that will do a professional job.😃👍🏼

A smart van doesn't mean a good job. If we quote on line the client can't see our van or equipment. First impressions are the key. Either on phone or face to face. I always ask the client what sort of price they had in mind. Or what their ceiling is. I live in one of the richest places in England. Woking in Surrey. One day you may be doing three bed semis. The next day 10 bed four bathroom three studies etc. Pricing can be tricky. But I guess £60 per hr would be near. Good vid.

No such thing as a bad job just a bad price I always go for £50 an hour,if I give a manager in a restaurant a price and he says he can get it done cheaper I say I can eat in a restaurant cheaper than this but is it better,I never price a job to get it if they dont like my price let them get it done cheaper.

window cleaning That’s true, I don’t mind doing an awkward job if I think it’s a good price. Sometimes people say their last window cleaner was cheaper, but maybe that’s why he stopped turning up, because he was doing the job too cheap.😃👍🏼
