i think you can charge what you want, some people might think 35 quid for having there windows cleaned is cheap....but a few months down the line someone might knock the door and quote half that, then your gonna get dropped. im not greedy as long as there happy and im bringing in a decent wage im happy.
earning £60 to £90 an hour sounds ridiculous for cleaning windows, doctors and surgeons who save lifes dont earn near that sort of money.
come on bring on the haters

You may not get dropped in that example. If someone thinks £35. is ok and they are offered the same service at half the cost, they may just think that is too cheap and doubt the cheaper guys intensions
No hating lol

Beginning to wonder if im too cheap .... thing is you don't know until you try  

In North Wales / Chester I would see this at £18 tops ... ok I know Im not the most expensive ... that's Richardisparklyweusegoldplatedwaterinourhotsystem who would prob charge £22 to £24 for this .. point is as far as im aware he does get this rate ... perhaps not every time ?

Between this post and Dazmonds price increase post its giving me serious thought to changing a gear on my pricing ... which is what this forum is about ... making yourself better at the job

It's crazy tbh , I've priced up jobs and got told it was too much, and also got  that's really cheap, sack it I'm gonna put my prices up soon and see what happens

Probably lose all my customers and end up unemployed

Since being on CIU I've learned a basic rule of thumb is to gain 2/3 of your quotes.
Getting everything you quote-you're too cheap.
Getting none-you're too expensive.

Today, I quoted a house-£50-one off. Didn't get it.
Conservatory roof-£99-one off. Near snapped my arm off!

It's difficult sometimes-thinking of the money you've 'lost' but it's better that way than pricing a £50 job at £30 just to get it. IMO
