Listen in as Tom and Dan answer your questions about how to price a job, how to decide when to hire your first employee, what percent should you make when it comes to marking up subs, why do clients prefer free estimates instead of professional charge quotes, even if the contractor is a registered member of a professional body and the best one-line advice for a brand new starter.
In this episode, we talk about…
Question 1: I'm running an electrical company in Australia, and the material prices have skyrocketed. Is it better to charge by the hour or by the job?
Question 2: How do you gauge when to hire your first employee?
Question 3: I need help working on a minimum call-out and price a job. It's very risky to replace a water meter in a building—it won't take much time, but there's a high risk
Question 4: When it comes to marking up subs, like a deck or a pavilion, what percent do you recommend?
Question 5: What habits have you developed to overcome your limiting beliefs?
Question 6: Why do clients prefer free estimates instead of professional charge quotes, even if we're registered members of a professional body?
Question 7: Give one of the best one-line advice for a brand new starter.
