Been pricing up jobs the last few months and found this happening -
finding that other spreads are goin in a lot cheaper.
I'm not expensive either by the way (£150-200 day domestic work - live near M25)
Think this may be due to lack of work, puttin in a low price in order to get the job.
We all have bills to pay but,
If everyone keeps dropping their prices lower and lower, eventually when the financial climate picks up again and everyone wants to go back to earnin a decent days rate, we're not gonna be able to.
The customers will still want spreads for £80-100 a day, or get the bl**dy polish lads back in!
By droppin day rates to such low prices, are we damaging the trade long term?
Are we gonna be expected to earn low rates even when things pick up?
what do you guys think?
Agree?
Had any similar probs?
