$Price Point

Charles,

In case you were actually looking for a response...

The labor rate is a price point.
Use it to screen or collect customers.
Have you not found that no matter what you tell them, they will only fell better if you are able to adjust it a little bit "for them"? I used to resent this, but then came to realize that the labor rate is a psychological thing for the customer & there is no use in dying on the beach of labor value. The customer wants to know they are getting value.
Sales, deals & inside information sells. A customer will feel good knowing we are installing the "best" materials, and we love this aspect.
But they also feel good knowing they are getting the "best" rate.
Do you ask for %10 off at the pro desk in the box stores? You should.
And in turn knock off %10 for your "Pro customers", i.e. any customer that you want to work for.

First reply to a thread, just registered myself 5 min ago.
