    I have been charging a little more in the past couple of months for jobs myself. It separates the wheat from the chaff. I may win less work but still earn the same if not a little more money. The biggest difference for me is none of my customers that accept a quote are quibbling on the price. They want a job done and the price is the price. If someone is trying to get my price down, instant red flag and i would rather not work for them anyway.

      Totally agree. If you drop your price you’re working for less money and if a job takes longer than expected then your losing even more money as the customer won’t pay you extra for the extra time the job takes.

    Love the podcast lads. Question to Matt if it’s ok. Does he think he will eventually change his business name as he moves away from maintenance to exterior cleaning? I currently own a locksmith, glass repair business and was thinking of moving more into maintenance but am worried customers might think we are a bit of a jack of all trades. Interesting to know how it works for him.

    • @Uncleanablespodcast
      @Uncleanablespodcast Месяц назад

      Dan will love that you got his name wrong, I on the other hand am over the moon and will likely start calling him matt from now on 😂 My personal approach would be to set up another trading company to run maintenance stuff under where you can market those service. and any glass customers you just talk to them about other services you offer. I wouldn't over think it though you can have multiple services but specialise in one area for sure.
