LETS HELP STEAMER RAISE HIS PRICES

was just trying to help

 

how much golf you get in the summer

5 jobs a day leaves less time for hobbies and fun

7 days of cleaning makes one weak.

Steamer...raise your prices...that way everyone here will quit worring about it...heck, charge what you want...if you are happy with the money you get, why worry about it...as for me, my clients expect a price increase now and then...everything else has price increases and everyone gets raises where they work...why not us?...

I was just being sarcastic...

Just leave the guy alone he's the only one here with any balls.

he has put out his info with nothing to hide.

Steamer I respect that.

Good luck man

Suction,

Comments like yours are not constructive. We are here to give a person
support in his or her efforts at running better businesses, not slamming
and flaming, thinking your cool.

Suction,

Tell us what you charge, what your ideas are at reaching a better market.
etc. How you stand out from your competition, and why they pay you
more than your competition. Let's learn from Suction for once.

Or don't you have any suggestions , just criticisms. ???????

Zero, you are absolutely positively on track !!!

I use the Software I developed to help carpet cleaners do just that.
Marketing to the kind of customers you wish to maintain is important.

keep up the good advise.

yes I did show my cards to Steamy and sent him a file with my Ad.

Success is by design!

Success principles

Clear vision for our business

which people make up our best target market and what they want?

how to shape our business to best meet the needs of our target market

how do we hold on to our customers?

How do we get more customers?

How in the heck do we put it all together?

1. "a wise man learns from his mistakes, but a successful man learns from the mistakes of others"

You must enjoy the work (I know sounds too simple)

If you keep doing what you have been doing you'll keep getting what  what you've been getting.

What do you want from your business

I want to charge more and work less. (simple but not easy takes guts)

Target market Choosing whom you  wish to market to.

Lets look at areas of customer spending

Budget

cars Kia clothing K-mart Restaurants *McDonalds

Mid range Saturn Toyota clothing Mervyns restaurants White spot or tim hortons.

High end Clothing custom stores restaurants Bistos Ruth crist steak house. Cars BMW Benz Range Rover.

You must design business to fit what ever target market you want to service.

FACT! you can't profitably meet the needs of all the people

Price should correspond to the service provided.

 

Now that I have opened this pandoras box lets run with it.
