What cleanaz is saying is that you should look for clients and not customers.
Clients look at you as a consultant who will answer and solve their problems and be there for them and they are also willing to pay and accept the fact that you are higher in price. It enables them to add that little extra prestige to their life. It's like someone referring to their lawyer or accountant.
Customers are often one shot complaning consumers who feel everyone is ripping them off and charging them too much. So, think and act and train yourself as a consultant and watch your life change for the better in all departments.
A-men.

Everyone has a simple problem. Everyone can't make the same money for the same work. Some can get without questions a $100.00 for sofa while in another the top price maybe be $60.00. You can only get what the market will bare in you particular area. I don't give a sh*t what all the instructors or who ever says it is just BS? different areas different coin?

I agree with Doug. Charge whatever you think the market will bear

If I did that I would go bankrupt very quickly. I hear what you're saying about different regions being able to charge more/less. I'm in a low cost area and still charge a hell of a lot more than "what the market will bear". It's still not enough and I will continue to raise prices as I change my client base through the years. My business is always transforming into something better, with better clients who appreciate (with money) my efforts. In my area, you can hire an illegal alien to do the work for half the price, so why am I still in business? Because I am a skilled professional, not a "cleaner".

Cleaning upholstery is somewhat time consuming if your going to do a quality job. Most people will pay more for the better service and those are the ones you should tailor your market to. Regardless how you feel about consumers perception but not everyone is looking for cheap. They are interested in a quality job with competitive pricing.

On a happy note my wife pulls out a turbo dryer and puts it on me when I do a couch. Goss I love that woman. It cools me down after hustling through a 3000 square foot home. I hook up a cheap light weight upholstery tool and cruise on to happiness (45 minutes on a couch cruising along hitting every pad completely). PS I do use a stair tool on the big flat areas of a sofa from time to time. It cuts down
 on my work time.
