£50 for me, usually persuade them to have something else done. I've got my set up and  pack up time down to 35mins but it's hardly worth it for less than 50 squid.

If they say no the time is better spent marketing for more suitable long term clients. Exceptions are people of influence who come into contact with lots of people. I give them business cards or ask them who they could ring right now.

Im sick of cheap b*****ds but I always place them en route to better jobs, that way I get £35 for a 'quick' stop in an area. This is usually then only 40-50 mins of my time.

Just to clarify even tho I care little for some types of custard I have never had a single call back in 800 jobs so the standard is still there even for such little time.

On the whole £50/h and £250/day average (9-4.30) is fine.

Im not establised.

£80+vat. Although I will do small jobs as favours to established Clients at better rates. I really do think it's how you set out your stall that dictates what work you get. Martin

Good morning Ian

I only got involved again, in c/c recently as my husband had to stop, due to a serious heart problem, although he is hoping to do some work again, soon !

We are in the Domicilery care business, employing 20, which I run with my mother. It only requires 1-2 hours per day, in the office, otherwise it's receiving diverted calls, wherever.

I'm only involved in that, plus c/c, where my involvement is training and transporting our son around. We feel, at 17, even although he's 6ft 2ins our credibility could suffer, if he worked alone. Besides, he lacks experience and knowledge, but is learning.

As you know, Robert is a practitioner of Spinal and Pelvic Corrective techniques and is hoping to escape from c/c entirely, to concentrate on, 'fixing peoples backs' which he's very good at.

I'm not involved in the therapy business, other than being a regular 'client'. Useful!

Just filling in my day, like most working women !

Shaun, I have raised my prices to a service charge of £175. This way I dont ever just get the "one" room jobs, well maybe I do. I did just one bedroom the other day but it was 1500 square feet with a 600 square foot closet. ( or is that then 2 rooms?). Anyway, best, Dave.

[rich hand]

Dave, now I know Im doing something wrong, how do you do it?

How long you been established btw?

[Liahona]

Rich, 13 years and I ask for it, but I also ask the right people. Best, Dave.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Dave was that clean and protect?

Do you get most of your work from designers and the likes so you can get in the right kind of homes?

or in other words you don't advertise but use associate trades to work as agents?

Shaun

[Liahona]

Shaun, yes, yes and yes. Having said that I only charge the customer for the first protection, as and when it is needed again I dont charge. Best, Dave.
