𝗔 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘: nA customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project. nMy friend gave him a proposal: $4500 nThe customer responded: That’s seems really high. nMy friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job? nThe customer answered: $2500 maximum nMy friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself. nThe customer answered: I don't know how to. nMy friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future. nThe customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it! nMy friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc.. nThe customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job. nMy friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project. nThe customer answered: Okay. That’s fair. nMy friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday. nThe customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends. nMy friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work. nThe customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time! nMy friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors. nThe customer answered: What do you mean by that? nMy friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am. nThe customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am! nMy friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site. nThe customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project. nnCONCLUSION: nWhen you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for: n✔️ Knowledgen✔️ Experiencen✔️ Custom Skillsn✔️ Toolsn✔️ Time to plann✔️ Time to preparen✔️ Professionalism n✔️ Work Ethicn✔️ Excellence n✔️ Discipline n✔️ Commitment n✔️ Integrity n✔️ Taxesn✔️ Licenses n✔️ Sacrifices n✔️ Liabilities n✔️ Insurance nnIf you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices. nIf their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals. nJust remember.. you get what you pay for. nn👉🏼 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it. n👉🏼 CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it. nnSharing this to support all my friends, family and clients who are Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Tradesmen.
