When a painter has been in the decorating
trade for a while, he soon realizes that
writing a perfect estimate no way guarantee's
winning the contract. I have noticed this
when I have been awarded jobs even
though I submitted the highest tender. You
should always submit a thorough estimate, It's
part of the total impression the prospective
customer uses to choose one contractor from the others.
Christmas seems to start earlier every year,
and lasts for weeks on end. It's
the time of year when all the
close family members come around for a
few days. This is also a busy
time for the house decorator with many clients
wanting their homes to look fresh and
clean with a change of color to impress the
guests. It's also a good time to gain
new customers for the coming new year.
Painters will encounter some customers who judge a
painting contractor on the price of the
estimate he submits for the work. They
seem to think there is a great
difference in ability from a cheap painter
and one that charges the proper rate.
A painter is no different from any
other profession. How do you start to
compare the difference between a guy who
promises the world takes a deposit and
vanishes into thin air for two or
three weeks, with one that never seems
to stop work until the job is completed
to your complete satisfaction.

Last week I got talking to a fellow
painting business owner. We talked about prices.
I inquired what was his hourly rate. I was
half expecting him to say a low
figure, but what he said shuck me!!
his hourly rate was so low, but he
defended this by saying he did not want
to lose work. I told him stop robbing
himself and to raise his rate by at
least 50% and he would still get work.
