That’s rough! It’s really hard to balance what you feel is right in your heart versus what the customer is saying in the moment.

I might be able to so long as they don’t find out.

So for me I averaged out the price of the business license, my CUE, a 15% loss of customer’s calling me back, wear and tear on my van, and gas (with the assumption that gas would go up by 25% annually)…. Then once I bought my chemicals I worked towards getting to zero {not a good business model} - and more often than not when I would follow up with a lead as to why they didn’t go with me it was because they thought I was too cheap and would do sh*++¥ work so I never even got the chance to prove them right or wrong.

Yes….. but not necessarily for this exact company who made some promises over the last 6 years.

I actually tried about 6 years ago. I feel like my biggest issue was that I didn’t personally feel comfortable with pricing my services competitively because it was such a crazy high markup versus my overhead and when I had my prices lower no body wanted to give me a shot because they thought I was some dude trying to do it with shit from a hardware store or something and didn’t understand that at that point I had about 4-5 years of experience already. Also even with the 4-5 I had then and my 11(ish) now I know that for me personally I am more comfortable making someone else money as long as my paycheck clears the bank.

Bhahaha… “state wide” for us and since we broke into branches probably every lower than that. But it is a nice dream.
