You are OK with your prices. You don't get them all. If you were, thats when to start wondering.

[richardlingard]

don't doubt your prices mate if he dont want it someone else will, you gave the price so that the right one

[mlscontractcleaner]

It's okay mate I was told yesterday that I was too expensive by an old lady because I wouldn't match her long since departed window cleaner's price of £3 for a 2nd story flat with 6 windows in it.

I only charge the other customers there £7, wfp, and that obviously includes the frames, sills, etc.

Just stick to your prices; if everyone tells you you're too expensive just worry about it then :

should have started at 25 and dropped to 20. This sounds like the type who just wants a bargain

[petemg]

hi ya, i no for a fact that this road was done with WFP the guy used to charge £25 why he stopped coming i dont no , but it is one of the beter parts of my round at 20 a time tradi am happy and so are the rest of the custermers

[brynley]

where abouts are you, i'm about 25 miles north of london in wgc, that sounds right to me

[Londoner]

If you only charged £1 you would be too expensive for somebody out there. When I used to do a bit of gardening I got a call from somebody who had a really badly overgrown garden that he wanted clearing. It was too big a job for me so I turned it down, there would have been skiploads of stuff and trees to cut down etc. But I was able to give him a couple of phone nos.

Just out of interest he asked me what the price was likely to be, I said its hard to say but well into four figures. He genuinely nearly had a seizure. He was thinking more like £50-60

[Crystal-clear]

price is ok.
