Shaun, very close as always in your comments, well most of the time he says with a smile.
Simon, I understand what you are trying to say but be careful in what you assume. Try not to read between the lines cos you may just miss the lines that have the words in.
I have never said now or on any of my posts about any ability I have or have not to do with carpet cleaning.
My comments are always based in general that on the whole, we as carpet cleaners dont charge enough for our services.
And £1:25 a square yard generally isnt enough, generally.
As to if I want work, sometimes yes.
Do I need work, sometimes yes.
Will I do work for £1:25, no, never.
Nothing wrong with that.
Simon, I shouldnt assume as you have done but lets say I do and I assume that you are good at what you do. Very good maybe, the best maybe.
Now go and charge your next client more than you normally would. Or charge the same client more the next time.
If they pay you to do the job at the higher price then it is you that they want as their cleaner. If they dont then it is the price that they are interested in and not you or your company. This what creates competition.
I seek for the first, that it is me they want and not the price. This then affords me to charge a higher price and so I make myself non competitive.
Hope this makes sense, best, Dave.
