Price your work to reflect its true value!
Posted On 02/17/2008 11:10:35 by TCBResidential

    How should any of us price our work? This can be a tough call, especially when the phone isn't ringing and you were underbid twice last month by the hack across town. But it's important to remember that working cheaply can only be counterproductive. In general, people everywhere recognize that they truly get what they pay for. And, while I believe in discounts for family and friends, I am also not afraid to price my work at a fair rate that compensates me the way I deserve to be. It's not unusual for clients of T.C.B. Residential Services  http://www.tcbproperties.com/ to tell me that others have bid lower than us to try to get their work, but they decided to hire us based on our professional image, my well-written proposals, and word-of-mouth references given by previous clients. Personally, I can respect an individual or company who knows the value of their work and can price it accordingly. But it is also important to give your customers great value for the money they are paying. Naturally, everyone expects good work from the tradespeople that they hire. But, if each of us can go the extra mile to deliver excellent service, it not only brings repeat business from that customer, but you will get many more referrals from that customer to friends and neighbors who may need the services that you provide. As an added bonus, taking the time and effort to deliver excellence in your work raises the expectations that people have for all of us. Professionalism is what raises us above the "hacks" who have given contractors and other business trades bad names in the past. So don't be afraid to take the extra time and material necessary to turn out an excellent job. The results will be more business, and at the rates that you deserve!
