Ive finally learnt just to pity the person lol. I'm always amazed at how low some people price jobs and many a times I've posted on here of Facebook about it. Then on the Facebook pages, people accuse me of being too expensive anyway (Yorkshire window cleaning).....
I just don't get it, if I'm working in an area and I find out people are charging more than me and are getting the work. Then I think, OK its time to put my prices up! However, seemingly on Facebook groups, people don't think like that. They think they will do OK, keeping their prices low and see about under cutting instead. For instance on a large clean I quoted 27 for 4wkly or £35 8wkly. The chap was happy n booked it in. A day before he phones to cancel, because of price. Someone had quoted £13 . Which makes me wonder how much they charge for a basic 3 bed semi?
As much as I will always be amazed and I'm sure I will continue to be surprised with how low some will quote. I no longer let it effect me personally, I just crack on with my own work and feel for the ones racing around convinced they can't ask for decent prices for work involved.
