Re: MIN CHARGE?
« Reply #20 on: July 14, 2013, 10:43:19 pm »
When I first started wc my cousin who has his own tucker system told me never charge under £10 no matter how small the property is.
To this day which has only been about 6 months i have never charged less the £10 even for a ground floor flat i quoted £10 and got the job!!!
Now i quote very high and if i dont get the job i just think well i never had it in the first place.
I am getting my wfp trolley sYstem at the start of nov thanks to matt and any of my customers that dont like the wfp idea will be dropped and the customers who do not like me increasing the price due to the 'state of the art equipment' i have invested in will also be dropped.
There are loads of people trying to get a regular good wc and by quoting high you can ensure every one of your customers will be loyal to you as long as you turn up on time and do the best job you possibly can.
But hery thats just my thoughts

Why would you increase your prices simply as a result of switching over to WFP????
It's just a tool mate, a tool in the same way the squeegee is a tool. It'll clean the windows a lot quicker too so why would you need to raise those prices???

your cleaning the windows, frames, sills and doors with WFP typically so can charge more

Those postings are from 2005.

Strange to read what I posted then and the odd thing, I remember posting the above.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

A half decent trad cleaner will do all that too.

You should be cleaning everything anyway. It always makes me wonder why the customer puts up with having clean glass and dirty frames; usually the tops of the frames.

In my opinion the extra money you earn over time by having WFP is a price rise in itself.
