I Lost Money On A Concrete Staining Job

[@budsodastories]

You met the wheel and dealer of the family lol

[@allsidespressurewashing]

I should hire them to be a sales rep!

[@budsodastories]

@allsidespressurewashing maybe haha what's their daily profession I wonder lol happy you got overflowing work and your continued growth almost time to hire help :)

[@Mommabear_WelcomeToHolland]

But if that isn't the most honest way to lose money....they just made you work for it 😂 ❤ I enjoy your methodology!

[@danbeeson9564]

You still wouldn’t owe the money until you land the job and get paid!

[@JQ212]

He said land the job not land the job and complete it

[@BNcreg]

​@@JQ212all he said was several phone calls. He never said anything about any of the people they called accepting. That's not landing any jobs, that's a lack of context

[@Tommy3]

So… basically.. ya just contracted a salesperson for a short minute.?

[@SobersRajakumar]

But you made good deal with new customers

[@groofromtheup5719]

Likely was far more motivated knowing that a recommendation was worth money.

[@raymondbird8411]

My work is non negotiatable... if they refer me, that's because I do good work, NEVER NEGOTIATE

[@emoc1902]

Wouldn't it be more of a referral fee, rather than negotiating?

[@dielaughing73]

Yeah asking for free work in exchange for referrals is a scummy move. I'd never agree to that

[@WatcherOfHorror]

Good luck

[@rianstorm4401]

If "OK Bet!" was a person. 😂😌

[@Yomata007]

So he charges less than $50? If the referrals landed him 10 jobs, he owed them $500 but made whatever for those 10 jovs

[@photographcenter8456]

So you don’t prep or anything just clean then roll on stain

[@allsidespressurewashing]

Pressure wash, then acid etch. There’s also a primer down on the concrete.

[@photographcenter8456]

@ Nice! What primer and stain do you use? Thanks

[@allsidespressurewashing]

@@photographcenter8456 primer and stain shown in the video is Behr solid concrete stain. The primer is recommended on the label and can be purchased at the store!

[@ShotbyJRProductions]

How did you lose money, you ended up getting 5-6 more jobs. I guess depending on what you charge.

[@keosh777]

We'll, you got enough business in referrals. The first job was just advertising expense. Write it off with the IRS lol, right?

[@nora6611]

Hope it landed you more scheduled washes at least.

[@75sRax]

i mean at least the guy wasn’t trying to scam you and he was actually going to refer you

[@joshuamcnew1200]

That's why you close the job AND get paid for the work from the referrals before you pay the customer the insensitive

[@markgado8782]

Ooof. 😂😂😂 Lesson learned! 😂😂😂

[@Dammy.y]

U do this for pess that 50 dollars.?

[@macfam]

Can you do any places in georgia

[@zachschannel6161]

And now we know how the rich get richer

Thanks for commenting

[@aleynamutlu4206]

There is saying in Turkish. I said hi and happened to be in debt.

[@kalanisua]

How much money did you lose

[@OsirusIrdia]

None, he would only ‘lose’ money if everyone they contacted paid for his services. But he did do free pressure washing which is idiotic..

[@gridarmorfix]

Good business

[@whitehorse7516]

You need to be specific

[@TeeLaw-l3x]

Leased learned

[@DavidShaw-g5e]

Early also love the videos

[@mateot8428]

So your painting concrete gray? I don’t really see the value in this service.

[@TLoumena]

The customer chooses the color, not the contractor, there are many different colors they can use. My guess is that they hated the dark entry and discolored walkway and preferred a toned down, uniform look. Maybe they preferred concrete but this was a much more economical way to get that look back.

[@mateot8428]

@ I’m saying the concrete looked fine before stain it’s not like like it’s a wood deck but I hear ya.

[@CampHunt-t6h]

🎉

[@ZejdiKing]

❤ wow

[@allsidespressurewashing]

Thanks for commenting

[@INTJ_PJ]

How would you owe them money if you stated, " For every job I land. " Does not make sense. Every job you land means the gig is there for you to show up to paint/ wash down driveaway to get paid sorts for that is what your business is...

[@INTJ_PJ]

Next time have it in writing plus on top of that make sure you do not offer your customer money and replace with a discount for your future service next time they hire/ book you.
