Waldo's back never hurts... it's not the glide it's the weed!

If your cleaning clean carpets.  How come your back hurts?

 

Waldo

I went from cleaning cat urine infested trailer houses to $300-750,000
homes by targeting the level of customer you eventually want.

It takes time, but spending an extra 1/2 hour at a high end customers
house by paying strict attention to detail is worth it. Post calling the
customer to make sure they are satisfied and leaving a free bottle of
spotter helps

Telling them straight up. " If you are satisfied with our service please tell
a friend, we really apprecaite it " . doesn't hurt either

Using my software to key in on the best customers to target is an
excellant way I use to improve my business . This software will be
publically available for testing shortly.

Why work harder and harder for less . That isn't why we run our own
businesses.

Steamer,
Because you are better! Why do people buy cadillac when a ford may get
them there just as fast.

What you seem to be saying Steamer is if someone goes down to 5.00 per
room you need to do likewise. Having the lowest prices in town is not a
worthy GOAL.

That is the attitude that keeps prices low in your area.

Here, I charge what I want to charge to make the 75.00 per machine hour
I set for my goal. I develop working relationships with my customers.
Similar to who cuts your hair, usually you don't price shop ever time you
need a hair cut. You have loyalty to people if you feel you received what
you paid for . ( and a little extra)

Explain why your system is better, If it's not better then maybe you don't
deserve more?? Make sure you are doing a better job.

I charge .24 per sq. foot and will be higher if gas keeps going up.

I changed attitudes about 15 years ago and I don't look back. . Raise
prices every year by at least .02. and keep in touch with your customer
by postcard or newletter, then they have a tendancy to develop loyalty.

IMO
