Lowest profit ever today
Did the first job in history at my glass shop where the profit was under $150 on an insurance job.
DW1341, profit under $150 from Blue Ribbon Glass Service (Nationwide).
What a joke, very upsetting.

Re: Lowest profit ever today
Again, the answer here is very simple. JUST SAY NO THANK YOU! We have had 2 in just the last week. XYZ network, wanted on the first one, 30% discount. I laughed and informed them we do not discount from the rebalanced nags list. They asked, "so we should send this job to someone else"? "Without a doubt", I told them. a few minutes later they call back, and gave us our price for our customer. Ok, the next one, they tried at only -15% from nags, again we stated we do not discount from the rebalanced nags pricing, same story, a few minutes later, they call again to inform us they will pay our price for the right to serve OUR customer. And labor rates, they offered flat, we charge hrly, and cash work starts at 50 per nags hour. We decided at rebalance to use nags completely, or not at all. If a job is low or non-profit, why do it? If you accept it why complain? Either cut your throat, or do something about it. We do something about it EVERYDAY! AND #1, WE STAY CONSISTANT!

Re: Lowest profit ever today

Re: Lowest profit ever today
You guys act like you are making $500 a job and if not you turn it down.
Cash customers? PLEASE.
Dont come on the board and act like you are making more money on cash customers than you are insurance work in an ordinary town.
Yes I am complaining about the profit, but it is still more money made than the average cash customer.

Re: Lowest profit ever today
Scott, no where did I say or act like I make 500 per job, please don't words im my mouth. And yes our cash price is higher than many ins co's, and network pricing. I could name a huge list of Ins work that pays less than our cash price. And also, when we turn down bad pricing it gives us more time to market to, and do PROFITABLE work. I rarely focus on what my competion is doing as far as price goes, cause they can spin wheels all day and have to do maybe 6 to my 2 average jobs to equal the same amount of profit margins. It has not been easy but we have held our ground and do not quote any cash w/s installs for less than 300-400. Guys that want to do cheap work, I say go for it, you'll always get what you pay for. we market on quality, not quantity. It works for us. But please don't assume ins work pays more than cash in all markets. Some markets have not been prostituted to such levels. For some of us it has been a business decision that we work on day to day and job to job. I find I have more time to pursue good work and stay as busy as I can keep up with, rather than waste my time on low, and non-profit jobs. This attitude works very well for me anyway. Try it for a while, turn down those low progit jobs, focus and spend your time on Higher profit jobs, you might be amazed when your bottom line improves. Good luck to you.
