I can't imagine why any tradesman would rib another tradesman for being pricey, it should be the other way round.

I agree Smurf,I wised up a while ago to be different than just being the run of the mill window cleaner doing loads of houses a day just to earn a days wage as there is good money to be had in exterior property cleaning. As I have mentioned many times before most customers already have a regular window cleaner but don't offer the services and quality of work for whatever reason that I do.
What the lad said in the vid you have to find a way be different to set you appart from the rest to make a business grow whatever that may be.
That is what I do but many custys are after cheap cleaners and at the end of the day you need to be competitive otherwise custys will not want to pay double to check whether you are good or just expensive
myself I would not pay someone double the money just to check if he was right selling himself twice as good as the othersReally?.... I dont have that problem myself
Charge more for doing less.....that's what all the big boys do
My plan is the same but if you hit customer with much higher price in the first quote they will not want you so you cannot build round.I turned few custys down as well,I know my lowest rate And I will not be competing on price alone but what I am saying is that if You ask funny money you will not build your round at all.The way I look at is if I wanted to run around like an idiot 9-5 5 days a week just to get by I might as well get an employed job.
I got into this to earn more work less and build something to retire on. Im only starting out and im turning custies down who want cheap. Im not expensive I average 12 quid a house but as soon as my rounds full I will be increasing prices. If youre continually growing and charging more or working less then your not realising your full potential

That is the problem.I could not win few because thay said 'our last window cleaner did it for 7' not suprising that he is no longer their window cleanerUnfortunately regarding window cleaning many people see it as a low cost service and don't want to pay much. That is down to joe public having been price conditioned by really cheap prices over the years and in some areas of the country is alot worse than others.
