new minimum prices
« on: July 29, 2011, 11:36:31 am »
so, last year it seemed to be the trend that most of us had a minimum price of £10 (for standard three bed semi)

so whats peoples new min price this year? £11 or more?

i always think a good rule of thumb is if you get 5 out of 10 quotes your pricing is dead

on any less your too expensive

and any more you too cheap  :)

I think that is a myth. I get just about every house I quote. When working I earn a very good hourly rate - as good as any I've heard on here. It's about the customer feeling comfortable with the wc.

Its a good way to build a business, look for those type of customers rather than a type of house.

put your prices up!!!  ;)

your too cheap if its less than a tenner!

but then again if your not cleaning frames and sills and doors its probably a good price for a glass clean
