Actually I’m rather impressed
I have a deposit here with 16 checks and 5 of them don’t meet your baller requirement
on the positive side, my Square credit card total for the month was $6,245 with a job average of $390
Fred, I lose a lot of jobs. At first I thought maybe it was a mistake but it’s worked out well. I’ve been able to fill in the gaps with people that are willing to pay the minimum. Pulling from my list of 1200 customers with reminder and referral request cards has really enabled me to be a little selective. Its nice being at the point when someone calls me to clean their boat or motorhome and I can tell them “No”.
I still give people deals here and there. Like the lady I sold gift cards too yesterday. She was buying them for her mother for Christmas. I gave her $200 worth of gift cards for $150 in the spirit of Xmas. I did my house for free, Ha.
My 101 year old customer, I clean her whole house for $90 because each time I know it might be the last.
There are days when I drive around all day doing the PM little jobs, but it eventually evens out.
My PM minimum is $125 due to the volume. The $200 price shopper minimum has saved me considerable pricing negotiations over the phone and headaches upon arrival. I guess its all about your personal tolerance level. Mine is $200. The line in the sand gets drawn and they either go for it, or call SS. My accounts receivables are sitting at $7600 right now. My focus lately has been on reoccurring quarterly commercial accounts over $300 per pop. The goal is 120 accounts. The list is building. I see that as a way to build predictive income that later I can drop an employee on while I play with my rugs.
Someday I’ll be a real baller and have my nice cusion of rental property and AAPL Stocks. I enjoy seeing you and the other guys on this board success. It keeps me going for that gold ring.
