Raising our local minimum $30 and a 10% increase across the board has done wonders.

What is regular pricing per room in your area? Here that is comparable to what cleaners charge ($40/room). I'm guessing that doesn't include certain things that they upsell. There is probably fine print to... 200sq ft is the size of a room I'm guessing if not 150sq ft. Try doing a quote on Stanley Steemers site, but choose the 3rd most expensive option "Deep Cleaning w/Extras" that'll give you an idea of what Sears probably charges in the end.
Sears capet cleaning went under here. Then they became Canadian Tire carpet cleaning. You think those prices are low....

People just want it clean, the cheapest is not always the best, these portables don't do a bad job if it's done right, I guess I have to start someplace. I got the Polaris
I think I'm sticking to the $100 a room if it's a great room $150 is fair

not talking about DIY'ers, Ken
I'm talking about the many quality professional companies out there that have years and years of experience (and know what they're doing) charging $60-$80 pr rm.
What's your plan to handle the prospect that asks what makes you worth more than them?
(not that it matter to me what you charge...get all you can get)
I'm just curious how you'll handle the prospect that asks........when you don't know your right foot from left yet

He might surpass the great cleaner fro LA if you remember Z Best carpet cleaning. BIG ideas and a GREAT speaker until he got caught and went to prison , not sure where he is now. Most people know the numbers before they ask your prices for the cleaning, that's why were still here and some are not. jz

Ken, let me preface by saying, I'm NOT trying to squash your dreams, hopes and desires ..that's not what I'm about
but I am going to be Mr Reality here
you're considering selling CC'ing in the 50-60+ cent a sq ft range (what your "hunnert a rm" will average out to)
Not a thing wrong with that, but you'll be in the top 10% of the price scale competing with outfits that know advanced spotting techniques, know how to handle difficult problems and are using top tier gear....and have been doing it for YEARS
You better get educated real fast, and/or formulate a good line of bullchit to throw at 'em
cause anyone with half a brain that asks a few right questions would be crazy to choose you over an experienced established outfit
and i haven't even mentioned that "uniform" you or your side kick is wearing
If you expect a prospect to take you seriously at 50-60 cent-o-ft with what you know/what you have now.....you're gonna find it LONG HARD row to hoe
..L.T.A.
I have see there so called advanced work, and to be honest , I think your over estimating them. Sure some are good but people are lazy. There in and out quick, there not preping right or something. These edic machines do a lot of work, there not easy to use, but they do pack a punch, and after a certain hight portables are all you got
I'm new and I'm enthusiastic, but it's a great product I give,

Keep in mind Ken that you are only being asked to clean after companies that didn't impress...
Larry is talking about going up against competent cleaners.
You will be going up against them in many ways, marketing, phone calls neighbors asking how you performed etc..

Yeh I kinda jumped in with both feet, I did get a few spinoffs jobs so they were impressed, is in me? Was it the socks? I'm not sure, but I have 0% advertising and I'm hoping to build up some repete customers as of now I have 2 that want us every month. I did see on Jon don somthing on how to answer calls and get the job, but I can seem to find it, I need to do more reading and like I said I know more now than last week, so that's good. I like to see the tape on these guys in there first month
