I don't know about other folk but when I started I didn't have a clue about pricing. I asked two guys I knew who were experienced. It gave me some idea and pricing became second nature within a few weeks. Still get the occasional head-scratcher but mostly I can give a fair price in a few minutes.

we all had to start somewhere. ?

Once again - Thank you to Davy G PJj & Wind O Kleen for Support & Encouragement??.

 
I don't know if he's new to be honest. He might not be. It could just be a "head scratcher" that he's a bit flummoxed with. ??
Thanks Davy G??.Ive been WCleaning for around 1.5 years max - decided to upgrade & take on new clients - im enjoying learning all the time.Im also enjoying the work.

Windamon - maybe,without going in head first.Discreet,thinking before commenting would help -?.

Hey kid. He had the decency to apologise straight away. Perhaps you didn't see it?

Takes a real man to be able to say sorry.?

It's important to value each other, we're all just trying to thrive and to help each other to do the same.

Onwards and upwards, eh? ?

Hey Davy G,i didnt see apology straight away.Thats only because you Davy G raised two valid points yourself,to understand my request for advice.

Firstly - Advice,Encouragement & Genuine Support as you & id Naturally do - i certainly wouldnt put someone down without cause.

Secondly - i had a price in mind,just after advice & pointers on a sensible level.

Yes,most of us WC's on here are just trying to thrive & get on - couldnt agree more.

Let me ask you Davy G - why oh why,is now that you & i are exchanging chat,sorting a situation out,in fairness Shouldnt have happened to start with ?.

The perportrators go quiet,yet others pick up the un needed/un wanted mess left.

Would it have been more sensible to advise acquiring more relative information first ?..Rather than " A bullet point,short sharp condescending answer"?.

Most people wouldve responded how i did - again,without realising mate.

Thanks for trying to help Davy G.In all fairness,i asked for help advice,encouragement & suggestions - nothing else.If i saw a similar question,id do more 'fact finding first'.

Cheers fella

Pane.

oh, sorry,didnt know he was new to the game, my appologies.
Maybe,in future Windamon,establishing 'further real facts',rather than 'bull in a china shop effect',will have a better response.Ascertaining more relevant information,helps 'build a better understanding picture'.Then give helpful advice & suggestions to aid the request.

A better outcome is favourable chap ?.
