Yep, at least 50% or if you can strike a deal with the customer , double your normal rate - By striking a deal I mean if it was gonna be a 500 pound job normally, go in at 900 and offer the customer 100 quid for his trouble - You take home 800 , he gets a oner and everyone's happy - This only works of course if your quote is accepted but when it does, its a good earner - recently did a 'patch' job ona water damaged ceiling - Loaded the quote to say that once patched, the whole ceiling would need to re-skimmed and re-coved , quoted £785 which was accepted - Once accepted, customer asked me to just patch and make good with Easy fill - He didn't want me to skim the ceiling cos it was a property he rented out so in the end, I walked away with £500 for 3 hours work and he had 285 in his pocket - Highly irregular and come along once in a blue moon but when they do....
