What makes sense about how you structure your service call rates? Dispatch fee? Flat rate fee which includes a certain amount of time? Per hour? .... What works for you and why
A lot of people who want free stuff.Here's a thought. Instead of charging them to see you, why not offer them a free gift for calling you?
How many more faces would you get in front of, to sell your services too?
You'd also get a good reputation off of that, but I imagine others would milk the free stuff right out of youDnkldorf said:Here's a thought. Instead of charging them to see you, why not offer them a free gift for calling you?

No free stuff, no advertised discounts .HackWork said:A lot of people who want free stuff.

All that free crap just gets you penny pitching tight wads looking for cheap crap.
Yes, 3 vansDnkldorf said:Safe to assume, this is for a small resi service company?
As long as its a FIRM estimate and not flaccid.firm estimate
But where are you located?Built2ride said:I currently charge 180$ for a service call. That includes the first hour. Afterthat it's 165 per hr. plus parts. If it turns into a big job that I will have to do to repair the fault I will give them a firm estimate ontop of the troubleshooting time
Burlington Ontario. Close to Toronto. Good income areas.doublejelectric said:But where are you located?
Could we see the pricing sheet? I'm very curiousrewire said:We have a $69.00 dispatch fee. This gets the tech to the door with the tools and material to do the job
We then have a troubleshooting fee of $197.00 this is to find the problem it does not matter how long . 99% of the troubleshoots are under 1 hour .
We then use a ten level pricing sheet that involves one or more levels to complete the repair.
This is simply the price structure we spend a great deal of time training our techs in how to present the value of our service and how to present our straightforward pricing.
I thought so too, and for a while I was against it. But I have come to like it.A $99 service call is a waste of time IMO
your slow but learning.Your appearance is a lot also.
If you show up looking neat and tidy you can charge more.
So which guy is that?rewire said:Our goal is to have the guys in the field price the service . By having a guide they can also upsell which produces a bigger ticket.
Did you spend all day on the forum again,:no:So which guy is that?
The one wearing sneakers? Or the one in dirty boots and filthy pants?

If your guys are neat and clean and you have this dress code you kept talking about explain the picture on your website.

But he didn't survive.SVT CAMR said:Whether he does it or not does not matter.
IMO it is the only way a service company can survive. There is a model company here that does this. I decided to call them one day right before the titanic sank. They said $39 gets a licensed electrician to your door. Took my name and address phone number. Wanted to swipe a card to secure my time slot. Did not even mention that when they arrive it will be an extra charge for troubleshooting. They are very busy around here. Plumbing-heating-electrical.
So just to show up a take a look it's well over 200. I'm sure the devise is not free. They have the worst reviews. Yet I see them everywhere. Go figure.
All that talk about no sneakers, polished boots, clean pants.....looks like a bunch of lies. What a surprise.rewire said:We are in uniform shirts in this photoWe had just gotten the new logo .
