Depends on why Matt disagrees Doug. Chris still uses traditional marketing methods as well as referrals and I would hardly consider him a rookie. You however are a ONE MAN SHOW and earn over $100,000 per year (according to you). Which means you are not capable of adding very many (if any at all) clients to you busy schedule so advertising your business makes no sense. If you wanted to grow your business to the size All County’s, referrals (which I agree are AWESOME) alone simply would not cut the cheese.
to each his own, and different strokes for those folks…I understand what y’all are saying.
Doug, at any point did you market at all??? If so when or why did you stop??
You do manly Res right, any commercial?
Good point, I have been thinking the same thing for my business, my prices are the same as Doug from Starbrites, and I close a very high percentage as well. I can’t speak for other Doug, but for me I’ll be honest, the main reason I haven’t upped price is FEAR. I know I can land the job (90% of the time) if I charge $8.50 per window (double hungs)
As an excersize for myself I’m gonna bid my next Resi job at $9.50/window and see what happens.
