Shaun, listen to Dave Lee, i have only been going for 12 months, untill 4 weeks ago i was doing the job for the same prices as you, but after biting the bullet, being laughed at by my local collegues i put my prices up, now instead of doing a suite for £45 and a loung carpet for £35 and a 3 bed house for £75 i now charge a minimum of £85.00 for a suite and that has to be a maintainance clean only from £3.00 a square meter for carpets and believe me it works, its all down to presentation of the quote and selling yourself, i have gone from a few hundred a week running ragged to over a grand booked in every week just on domestics, i am so confident of that continuing that i have just taken on a full time cc so i can concentrate soley on getting in new business. Listen to what these lads are saying, you can go on all the courses in the world jo polish, or whatever but you will not find a better training course than what the lads on this forum give you and its free!
