Anyone taken time to plan for next year?
Adding any new services, expansion, more time off etc?
For me it's going to be a year of more marketing and less on-site time (I hope)
What's every one else got planned?
-
Try and get some more time off, but doubt it.
Watch the world cup in some all inclusive hotel by the beach.
Market more, pressure washing and hard floors.
Train someone who works for me to handle the domestic and commercial cleaning side of the business.
......plus a million other things!!!

By the way Jamie, I got some DR Schutz Secura Matt Hard Sealer off you about two week ago, great product by the way, but I paid nearly double what the price was on your website, it was a phone order. I didn't question it at the time as I was rushing.

Put
Stronger systems in my Business , and have a good steady flow of business coming
in. Hit my 12 month sales projections , become better at actually doing the work.

manage all of them, including sick and holiday cover, price all jobs,
answer phone and emails, marketing, all carpet cleaning, invoicing as well as all the usual day to day problems that arise.
Need to
set in place all training to a set standatd,
Get more floating staff to cover sickness/holidays.
Sit back a bit and manage more without standards dropping.

Other than that not much else :D

Spend the time I waste reading this board doing something more useful.

Boards can be too addictive but it's a way of connecting with people in the same trade beats watching soaps.

Need to lower your prices as you don't have enough work a
-
I hope to be as busy as I have been this year,only my third year full time,raise my prices a bit and keep earning more than twice as much as I did when having a proper job and doing so in half the hours.

It's a bit confusing, because you're profile says you're in north east (clevland) and I can't find that on Google maps. Maybe a few people are wondering if "clevland" is in Essex. Have you got a web site?
-
Theres only one reason people lower their prices, they need more work, why else?
Those on the up are increasing their prices. Supply and demand dictates the rule.

Range Rover? I need one of those, I have trouble getting all the CC kit in the Roller ;D
-
What Susan is doing is perfectly reasonable, but not for a one man band.
If she has another new van shes got to fill another week up and its better to have some money coming in than none if you have a technician to pay. Dont forget they make money from other activities too.

I have locked the topic.
The original post was to inspire others to think about what they could be doing in THEIR business next year.
Use your time to think how you can develop not on questioning others.
