Guys over the last week I've gone from the buzz of thinking I've picked up a superb contract, to actually having to pinch myself in case I was just having a nightmare
I received a call from a relative who used to work alongside me, he worked with me for 3 years but moved on around 10 years ago.
He has worked his way up to be general manager in the company he left me to join. I'm not surprised as he had great attitude towards work and was a grafter.
Anyway the job he was asking me to quote for would have taken at least 4 guys a full shift( his words). I know previously they were paying at least £800 per clean( I knew the guy they were using, but changed to national a few years ago) so though this was a decent earner.
I gave him my quote, he came back and showed me what they are paying a national company just now. It's not even £200 per clean.
He explained he couldn't justify to his bosses such a substantial increase if I were to be given the contract.
What I would like to know is how these national companies can possibly do these jobs for such low prices, and what are they hoping to achieve .
im just grateful that high percentage of my round is domestic.
Has anybody else had a similar experience
