If one is receiving sheets from one cartel at 70 should one be writing at 70 or how quick should one raise his rates.
I’m writing at 62 and getting sheets from cartel at 70 shouldn’t one be writing 72? B)
My thoughts would be that you should be writing @$75. I’ve almost never seen them write higher than door rate. It’s always easier to “give” a discount to your good customer than to go up for the bad ones. My area’s been stuck at $44 for 4 years now.
we were at 55 just a year ago and bang it jumped 7 to 62 and then 8 to 70 for a $15 rise in less then a year?:huh:
love to see them companies here get with the program and hike rates up like that. But reguardless what they are paying you need to determine what rate you need to work at to make a fair profit. hopefully it is higher than what the insurance co are paying but if not it shouldn’t really matter. Charge your rate to the customer reguardless of what the insurance is paying
the worse thing that can happin is youll have ta come down an thats easyer than going up i just jumped my rate ta 48 but dont always get it but it dont stop me from writing my sheets at that rate;)
raising your rates to whatever your current market place will allow is smart business for the need to stay profitable and current on new products and techniques. but wha always concerns me is that every time rates go up doesnot always mean the the techs wages follow the same progress ..they too have rising costs .tools .at home expenses.gas to get to work.and believe me if momma aint happy aint nobody happy …so the next time we think about raising our rates lets remember our techs and there needs also…..:( 🙁 B) B) :cheer: :cheer: :woohoo: :woohoo: it,s a win win program……
