Hi

It does matter very much turnover V profit.

If you are earning £70 by cost are £60 then you are only earning £10 p/h as the rest is your costs and therefore not yours.

That is a false economy.

martin I think we are thinking on different wavelengths the amount you charge the customer is a constant all over things are variable.

if I charge £70 but only make £10 profit does this make any difference to the customer they still give me £70, and for 1 hour I am taking in £70

 the average hourly rate of £70 is constant it does not fluctuate,  but expenses
between will companies. so we cant bring in the profit v taking equation. because everyone is different.

another way of looking at it is;

 man B earns £45hr and has £5 expenses, so has a profit of £40

Man D earns £70 hr but has expensive of  £40 so only earns £30

So who would you rather be man B or Man D? most people would say man B because he is earning £10 more than man D.


I would rather be man D, because I have the potential to earn up to £70 an hour were Man b will never earn more than £45, this is why the hourly rate charged is more important that the amount of profit within the £70.

That always assumes that it is possible for man D to reduce his expenses.

Perhaps he has to spend a lot on marketing in order to bring in sufficient work.

But if he is good then over time he may not need to spend as much on marketing so costs go down and profits go up.

Hi

Mike I see what you are saying....

But...

On an average 5 hour working day Man B's end profit is £200

Man D's profit is £150

x 5 day working week

Man B earns £1000 Profit p/w

Man D earns £750 p/w

x 50 weeks (2 weeks hols)

Man B earns £50,000 p/year

Man D earns £37,500 p/year

I would rather be Man B

Man D takes more per hour but earns less because his expenses are higher, whereas Man B although takes less he earns more

Phew!

that was even more complicated that mine

but I prefer to look at the potential earning of man D

as for man A..B..E..F..G..H ..etc..etc  & man-Friday & man dingo  they are too busy  cleaning carpets & suites for a £5 an hour to read these silly forums

It also depends on how long it takes you to clean a room.

I think Mike qouted 1.5hrs to clean  two bedroom  furnished house

On thinking about it new builds are not very big.

However it took 3hrs as there were two of them.


What Im trying to say is diffrent cleaners take diffrent times,

[Phil Marlor]

So where do Man J,K,L,M,N come into it?
How much are they earning?

[Dave_Lee]

The average amount you earn per hour depends on how much you charge AND how quick you do the job. If you charge an average amount and are super fast then £70 per hour is possible. If your charges are high and your work rate is, say, normal then £70 per hour is possible. If you are cheap, then to earn £70 per hour, you are going to have to work super fast ro achieve it.
Of course it would make sense to charge relatively higher prices if you pay particular attention ro detail rather than finishing the job in a fast time. It is up to the individual to decide which way to go.
I once watched a high priced cleaner get over £100 per hour on a domestic job, and was less than impressed with the result and methods. I would have been substantially cheaper, significantly slower, and the result would have been massively better.
My marketing costs, this year to date have been £320.
Pay attention to detail, take the time required to do the job properly without rushing, do an excellent overall job and not just on the more noticeable areas, and charge a fair rate, and your marketing costs will be sustantailly reduced.

Chris do you ask your clients for 70 ponds an hour.
Can you clean a thru loung or loung dining room in 1 hours

[supernova77]

I think it was dave Liahona who said "don't look for people like yourself, but the ones who don't mind shelling out a few bob"  -   It was something like that anyhow

Thats the saying I work to in the window cleaning world... Look for customers who have lots £££ and you can earn £££
