I've decided on £100. I've had a couple of enquirys for small areas that might take only half an hour but when you include setting up and packing away call it an hour but it just doest seem worth it to get the machine out for less.
Also do you offer different levels of service ?
For example i find a lot of people assume it's just a quick blast over with a pressure washer like they would do with a karcher so they are of the mindset it's a 30 or 50 quid job. Thinking of saying I can either give it a quick blast with the pw for x amount or and accept it will be cleaner but not perfect or I can do it properly and treat with hypo or biocide etc and charge more.
Some of the before and after pics I see on fb still covered in black spot yet people are saying it looks great has me thinking maybe by offering a premium price and a premium service you are missing out on a part of the market that just don't see the value....
Your problem is you try to cater for every enquiry going and I bet in the process of doing that you lose sight of where your business should be going.
Set out your stall, be one or the other (preferably and hopefully the better) and stick to it. There’s thousands of customers out there, you can’t have them all and nor would you want to. If you price a job and in hindsight realise they only wanted a splash n dash when you priced it as a quality clean that’s their loss, not yours. In time you will realise there are plenty of customers out there who do want a quality clean and your paths will cross. You possibly need to work on your self belief and business model. I’d love to see your interaction with a potential customer when you price up a job. Half the time it’s how you sell yourself.
