MIKE YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!! I have only been on all these boards for about a year now... I have been around the business for along along time, on have owned my own for about 8-9-10 years I have lost count.. at least once a month their always a post about, charge more work less... having minimums... are we professional's.. lowballers....if you are closing more than 50% of your estimates your too cheap.... etc and its always the same ol'e thing.... to me "my" opinion if you are running a business and it is profitable and you are satisfied with it, don't worry about everybody else unless they ask for advice... I would like to give my opinion on something ... ( take it with a grain of salt) 1. Charge more work less-- GREAT ideal I wish I was the salesman others was so I could do this, we are all business men and want to make as much money as can as fast as we can, but when all your competitor's are in the same ball park with price and professionalism, to me its suicide to raise prices.. They say sell them peace of mind, to get the higher price blah blah... their are only so many ways to describe a safe house wash, how much of a pro you are... Like it or not most potential clients wealthy or middle class, will make their decision on price.. and I have found that they usually go with the middle price... cause the cheap one they are scared of, and they figure both the middle price and high price they are going to get close to the same work quality from... especially if both guarantee their work.. ( vinyl will only come so clean no matter how much you pay to get it clean ) 2. Minimums-- I do have a minimum price I will work for... depending on how close the job is to me... if the job is close and I can do it in under an hour I will work for as little as $100 maybe less, call me a lowballer or whatever.. but I will never turn down a "bengi franklin" That I can make in an hour... Sorry.. 3. If your are closing more than 50% of your estimates then you are to cheap.. personally my goal is to close 100%... if I am closing 100% what are my competiors doing? sitting at home? I would be personally hoping they are looking for another line of work cause that Hopson boy is taking over the market! 4. Are we professionals?-- I think what makes a person a professional is EXPERIENCE... anyone with good credit can have the same equipment I have.. but the knowledge of the business is not there... anybody can get in this business... for gods sake all a man has to do is spend an hour a day on these boards.... and be your competion by summer.. have you ever noticed how many guest leark on these boards? think about it we are feeding our comp...

Spending time with my wife and kids......I work 7 days a week so there is not much time for hobbies.. so I have made my family my hobby... I have a 5year old girl and a 2year old boy... they keep me busy!!! If my plans work out in the next five years I will have much more time for hobbies.. I plan on having a couple more trucks on the road doing all this for me! I just don't want to look back and wished I would have spent more time with my young'uns when they was little. The lord has Blessed me with a beautiful family and if I had a hobby with the way I work I might not have a family..lol all my old party buddies say I am the most boring person they know... my schedule is simple wake up go wash trucks come home play with kids go to wal mart buy toys, go to bed... go to church couple times a week and visit with my folks.. thats about it.... :)

I also make my steady money from fleet washing, I love doing flat work cause its EASY money... I have also cleaned hoods for about 5 years and quit I don't like working all night cause of my kids and especially my wife being in that big ol' bed all alone....
