There Is No Need For It !!!!!!!
Then why would that business person need a pricing base line? THEY DON'T BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEIR NUMBERS.
The "Low Baller" is the only guy that will benefit from this list. The only way to eliminate low ballers is to eliminate the "easy in" for them . . . Give out a price list and its a sure fire way of creating more low ballers. Pricing is a key part of the market research area of a business plan. Your not supposed to start a business over night! People should have to do their home work and figure out their numbers. Every one hates when a new guy comes on the board and the first question he ask is how much should i charge. What is the difference in giving out a "price baseline" ? hell your answering a question before its even asked!!!
I just think this is a BAD IDEA!!! and it goes back to my original question? Why is it even in existence? what good does it do?
Ron your pricing has been covered a MILLION TIMES!!! You price on volume work! You live in Phoenix where you can clean year round, and you have a million places to get work . . . in other area of the US its not like that
Basic business tells us that there is two models to go by
Low price high volume
High price low volume
I can only wash about 8 months out of the year some guys less than that, so for us to do a full years worth of work in that time frame means we have to charge more. Look at theme parks, you go on vacation to one of these and a hot dog cost $5 its partially because that park is only open from april to sept. they still have bills in the winter just like any one else so they make up for it by charging more when they are open.
Personally, I don't want a price list from the west coast or from down south, or from a volume priced company in my area. Make the hacks get serious or get out, don't give them a price list for your area and them let them come to my area and try to kill the market.
I stand that this is a bad thing and should be removed all together !
Ok, maybe we should do it by state…LOL
Guys it’s a baseline, the current list is bad.
This is not a debate about price fixing or anything else.
It’s to help Robert at Delco Change a list that been there and that is going to be there better.
I have pricelist online for customers, pricelist have not been bad and help me get business easy. Customers I have can often estimate there own jobs.
This list is a baseline, each and every business person around the country knows there own numbers. They should use it as a guide and not fact.
