How to fine tune your bid pricing.

[Team Gopher]

How do you know if you are bidding too high or too low on jobs?

Here is a suggestion from "Precision". What would you suggest?


From Precision

"If you are landing 30-50% your pricing is probably on target. If you are landing significantly over that, you probably need to raise rates.

Unfortunately if you are landing less than that, it may or may not be price related."

Just play with your figures and learn how to run the business. If you have volume and work your crews right you might keep your prices just low enought to snag a lot and have good volume and your making more money in the end if your expenses are too hight then raise your rates to cover them... dont get too stingy by trying to suck everydollar you can out of anyone just figure out what your times worth and stick with that. One of your biggest things is cutting down windsheildtime ... figure out what you need your rates to be then just really hit areas one at a time.

"Suggestion One
Know what you are doing!!!!

Two:
Learn how to measure and measure everything.....Because some bids litteraly come down to a couple of dollars and if you measure the fudge factor dont have to be figured in.

Three
Sell your self on the bid by using a professional bid sheet and go nicely dressed to present the bid/sell your self"
