My minimum price used to be £10, but I now have a £25 minimum price on any new jobs that I take on!!

[windowwashers]

£25 min price

I thought £3 min was good

So your turning down work and not expanding - reached the peak of ambition?

[ronnie paton]

£25 min price

I thought £3 min was good

are you serious £3 with any methid is to cheap.

[LWC]

so ground hog, little old lady rings, little bungalow, 5 odd windows and you say £25...yeh right

no one can really have a minimum price in my opinion, it really depnds on house. for example, i do a row of houses, and one on the end likes her one window done upstaires, i just chage her a £1

i like to charge at least £10 a house now, but there is exceptions

[groundhog]

Yes I pick up lots of work, I just prefer doing larger jobs rather than messing about with loads of £10 houses. Also by making my minimum price £25 I have picked up quite a lot of houses that I would have priced at say £15-£20, but I have told the homeowner that my minimum charge is £25 and its suprising how many have said fine!! It works for me!!!

wonder if its £25+VAT    

[Moderator David@stives]

I know a guy who charges minimum £80 + vat per job

I dont like taking anything on now for less than £45.00 inc Vat, but saying that I still have loads of smaller ones and will slip some lower ones into my existing rounds

Minimum price?  Delusions of Grandeur..

[mark dew]

introducing a minimum price was the best pay rise i ever gave myself.
It is only a tenner but the amount of work i do that would have been 3 or 4 quid when i started is quite alot.
The thing that suprised me most about it was when people phoned and i mentioned it, i have not had 1 bat an eyelid. I think people half expect there to be some sort of minimum price. Although townies still expect their houses cleaned for 50p like their last cleaner charged in 1947 or whatever century it was.  :

Well it's better than me because I still have delusions of competence.

I have a minimum of a tenner too.  I didn't apply it to jobs that I already have but I have been increasing the prices of the lower priced jobs a lot more quickly.  I have been turned down at times due to my minimum charge but that is the whole point of it.  I used to have a lot of jobs under £10 a few years ago.  Now I've only a few and those that are, are very small ones.

Minimum price in our company - appr. GBP18 for Saint-Petersburg (Russia) and 30 for the country side.

  I thought I would wait before I answered...glad I did! 

I think I might introduce a minimum price, sound like a good idea! 

It's one way of getting rid of the dross1 

Many thanks... Learning all the time  (might change that to my signature!)

Correct Dave,this is the point you want to be aiming for.What is it good business to be working for peanuts then,i know what i`d rather be doing.

[Londoner]

Exactly right!

The point about any price  is whether on not you are prepared to get turned down. If you are short of work and really need the customer you are not going to start tossing about "silly"prices. You are more likely to underprice it. (We have all done it, haven't we?).

High prices are only really possible when you don't care if they say no.
