Mick, if they are STILL haggling with you on price, then you did not sell them right in the first place IMO. Most of my customers are very well off in Calgary, and do not haggle on price. I have been charging high for 8 years now. Things might be different for you in OZ. Most of the money here is new money from oil, and they DO like to spend it. ]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 23:34:34 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5132&PID=144605&title=premium-work-for-premium-pay#144605 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5132&PID=144597&title=premium-work-for-premium-pay#144597 Author: Mick Oz

I used to get a laugh out of watching 'The Life of Brian'.
But the thoughts of 'Chairman Ken' sometimes has me rolling with laughter.
Usually i find if anyone is going to haggle about price its the so called UPPER end of the market.
A lot of the 'rich' ones became wealthy by NOT spending money in the first place. IMO.

You are taking the exact right approach. The recession coming is going to be a long and deep one that will destroy most of the low end work. Go after the higher end customer and let others fight over the rest.]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:40:35 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5132&PID=144586&title=premium-work-for-premium-pay#144586 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5132&PID=144579&title=premium-work-for-premium-pay#144579 Author: Soil Lint Green

It is a good approach Kelly.  If you do the budget work you will be too busy to develop the premium work.  Determine what you have to offer that makes you different from the other guys.  Sell you and sell how that difference will benefit the prospective customer.  The business may be slow to grow but the profits will be bigger if you approach this correctly. 

It is up to you to make any business formula work for you.  At least you won't be competing with a store rental unit.

kelly, you can take the high road or the low road. Like in any business your standards will dictate a lot of
how you approach each situation. If this is not your main income , starting slow and staying on the high end and concentrating on relationship building would be my advise. ]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:22:16 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5132&PID=144566&title=premium-work-for-premium-pay#144566 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5132&PID=144550&title=premium-work-for-premium-pay#144550 Author: Kelly
