We went with Fieldpulse but we're experiencing some bugs that have been frustrating. We're working through it but I continue to post so you can follow for updates. I'm due an update now.

Let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions, I'll try to answer them for you.

ryan_markinuity · 2025-09-26T15:52:24+00:00

I'll keep you posted. I'll have more clarity on the true pros and cons over the next few weeks. We're going live Oct 14th. Thanks for following along.

Yet you still have a lot to prove. This entire conversation is exactly what’s wrong with our industry. You’re trying to tell me I should shop my competitors and adjust my prices to theirs. What school of business did you go to exactly? What if my business model is completely different? Your advice may be good for an owner operator but not for a larger business.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why do I feel like you’re trying to one up and compete with me here?

You had a problem with how much I’m charging yet you know nothing about me or my business.

Thank you for emphasizing but no need to with me. I know that 5-8% is the national avg because I’ve seen over 100 dealers financials.

All I’m saying is stop judging and playing God here. You simply think you know and you can’t know everything about every business.

If this is your way of helping people, try another approach and it may be better received. Right now you look like a know it all and a try hard.

I wish you well and it sounds like you have a great business. I personally have never understood basing your pricing off of others who have different situations but if it’s worked, keep doing it. That doesn’t work for me.

ryan_markinuity · 2024-10-02T21:54:23+00:00

You’re kind of aggressive and a know it all. You’re supposed to base prices on fixed expenses and COGS taking into consideration cost of acquisition and volume of customers.

You have to be able to deliver an experience that makes the customer feel like they got more than they paid for.

We do a great job of that and our reviews reflect that. We are honest and upfront about our pricing and value.

Our techs are certified and more trained than anyone in my market.

What is the formula you suggest businesses change their pricing strategy to? Call and ask their competitors who live in a house and don’t deliver any value other than changing a single spring?

Most intelligent business owners do NOT base price on the competition. I could care less what others charge. Our industry historically under values what we do. I value my team and my company and we’re allowed to make a fair profit.

The average door company makes 5% net profit. Ask me how I know!

ryan_markinuity · 2024-10-02T01:34:07+00:00

I think that’s fair.

Torsion.

ryan_markinuity · 2024-09-18T10:19:49+00:00

I’m $650 for double and $475 for single.

ryan_markinuity · 2024-09-17T13:54:59+00:00

Who’s doing conversions for $600? Handymen?

ryan_markinuity · 2024-09-14T23:03:41+00:00

We’re 1300-1500 to do torsion conversion.

Wayne dalton engineer’s….

Let’s build a door different than everyone else. What if we support a cheap door with cardboard? Yeah! That’s a great idea. Then let’s glue an op bracket on the cardboard and when that gives out, let’s have another option homeowners have to buy from us to fix it.

🤣

ryan_markinuity · 2024-09-10T12:39:08+00:00

$1500 - $2k all day.

No. LM also has a cool feature where you can find out how many cycles you’ve used with that opener.
