Well... 1 DAY after signing up with the magazine, my office booked a 2100$ T&G job. Hope it’s not just a fluke. The guy who sold us on it gave us the lead....
We'll take the "masses". They've provided me, my family and many others great careers and livelihoods for the past 40 years (March 6th, 1978 for our 3rd generation franchise).Stanley Steemer quote.

Some customers are a pains in the ass but most are just "average" people who dont have 1000's of dollars in discretionary income to spend on cleaning their homes.
I’m not a dufus. I just feel that there’s a place to market to the entire area, not just the rich.If you're an OO and are not targeting your marketing to the wealthiest in town, even if that means they make 40k a year, you're a dufus.
Leave the po folk to the multi truckers who send out goobers to play the numbers game..
Who are your primary customers?
easy
all of them
this ain't rocket surgery
your "primary custy" simply are and should always be the ones that will pay your price
DUH.......
..L.T.A.
You should’ve taken over half the ticket. 50/50 doesn’t apply to that situationI helped a guy out the other day, I used my van, and chems. He wanted to split it 50/50. The ticket was 265$ before taxes. I invoiced the customer, and when we left, the first thing he asked was ‘so ow soon can you pay me my half’. Now, if a guy is THAT hard up for a 130$, HES NOT RUNNING A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.... and he told me he was surprised at my total, he said he would have charged 155$....
Matt, I know that, I did it to be nice to him. He’s obviously very hard up for the $. I had already done 1600$ that day.You should’ve taken over half the ticket. 50/50 doesn’t apply to that situation
You should offer him a job. He might make a good employee.Matt, I know that, I did it to be nice to him. He’s obviously very hard up for the $. I had already done 1600$ that day.
And your price should not be $20 an hour profit like trailer boy's

Sounds like Matt is adjusting his price to the customer. Doesn't work in my book.I’m not a dufus. I just feel that there’s a place to market to the entire area, not just the rich.
Run the $89 two room special to the trailer park, and land 5 of those jobs for the slow day of the week, yet, advertise the dry quick 5star treatment to the neighborhood that aligns withbthe golf course the week after.
Get 3rich jobs, and have the other 10cheap jobs fill in the gap
Damn...California has really made your head bigger than it should be
I’m also chasing a huge property management account and a local college currently. BULK BULK BULK.
DICK!
The highest compliment one can receive.

Wow. I'm speechless. I totally get what you mean but, no, I don't want to be a Sutley.Cox is a Sutley wannabe
That’s the only way to do it. But when I adjust the price, I adjust the level of serviceSounds like Matt is adjusting his price to the customer. Doesn't work in my book.
When I charge less, i move thecwand faster, don’t block and tab legs, I don’t move furniture, I don’t offer red treatment,So, you eliminate vacuuming? What else?
I don't want to be a Sutley.
I also never prescrubWhen I charge less, i move thecwand faster, don’t block and tab legs, I don’t move furniture, I don’t offer red treatment,
My wand speed is only dictated by how much time I have to complete the job. By not blocking and padding, you're doing a half ass job. moving furniture and red Treatment should be dictated by the customer. I charge the same per sq.ft. whether I move furniture or not. The customer will just net less square footage. I almost never do Red treatment and wouldn't include it in my cleaning price.When I charge less, i move thecwand faster, don’t block and tab legs, I don’t move furniture, I don’t offer red treatment,
I don’t see it being that way at all. The rich have no clue how my pricing is labeled.So, you eliminate vacuuming? What else? IMO, you're just compromising your reputation by adjusting your quality of service. Just work at a higher price point with premium service and sooner or later you'll make the same amount without working so much. As Larry says... its not rocket surgery. You're just prostituting yourself.
