Ron,
It is good we have companys like yours around for that type of cleaning. Can you imagine if it went without cleaning for ayear! LOL We'll stick to homes and small commercial. I may not get the bulk pricing, but as long as it it profitable, we will do what we do. Thanks for sharing.
Not to offend you Terry but I get more money than you. You have to have the training and be certified to clean these jobs by the agency your cleaning for.
I think you get some sort of impression I bid low. I do not waiver from my prices. I get top dollar and volume wont get discounts in most cases.
This work is specialty work, the bio crue gets down time response and also gets minimums on every job.
You guys and your low ball thinking because someone does alot of work.
I service now over 2000 accounts monthly. I get top pay for all the account and have increased some customers budgets through my educational programs. As you heard in MB one chain we increased the budget 60% annually.
My company make near 125.00 per man per hour. Whats your make?
I think why your confused is that you have been told or draw some conclusion on your own.
You see when you wash a home say for 350.00 and it takes you two or three hours total time. travel the whole nine yard, you only making 58 per hour per man. My numbers are average over residual income over jobs that continually repeat over and over again and again and again. While your trying to find the next house wash that you dont caculate in the numbers. you house wash guys never consider we have work month after month and dont have to spend alot of time looking for the next store to clean because the calender is always full.
Below is a Mcdonalds, for obvious reasons it and old agreement. It was cleaned for 1000.00 first time. its was regualar 1400.00.. he was given a discount for signing a regular cleaning contract.
I would love to see you or anyone show me one regular cleaning agreement on a home. Second I would like to see it be more than 1000.00.
Third, the job on regualr cleaning takes 1:45 to 2:30 tops.. at my worse case i will make 180.00 per hour per man. if everything runs great I make 300 per hour.
You show me in your business model were you make that on average and the job keeps repeating. Not in house washing.... never happen..
Painting a different story.
