Do you have set prices? and when bidding on an account do you find yourself lowering your prices to get the job? is this bad or good?

We have a few factors to consider when bidding a job. Square feet, frequency, furniture to be moved, number of bathrooms, distance to the job, etc.. We have a standard cleaning package and potential clients are asked to add or subtract from the list to customize their needs..... this also is considered in the price.

That is a great idea, to have a list which is standard, so your customer can add and subtract things from your job, for example if you were offering scotchguard to the capret cleaning for an extra $25.00 let the customer choose. It is also nice to have some documentation in front of the customer that you are writing things down as you go, it shows that you are concearned about the details and getting the job done right. on a second note their was an article in the usa today about a food critic who gets upset when he goes to a reasturant and the waiter does not write down his order, he stated "he does not want to his dinner to be a gamble with memory" so if you look at this in our point of view when your giving an estimate its nice to have a menu, and take the order as a waiter or waitress would by writing it down, and dont forget to use some suggestive selling...

I do have sort of set prices,also try to sell some extras while on the job.However i have many times lowered my prices for carpet cleans for the elderly and also for people that look as though money could be a bit short.I am a fair person,90% of my work is now from referals so i have to do very little advertising,which is great.
