Eddie Evans' Prices are "not-to-exceed" a given quote.
Eddie's quotes on the telephone are rock-solid set because he knows what it takes to clean. Even when he mis-judges the scope of needed cleaning, the fee remains the same. How can this be?
This business policy exists because Eddie has no employees; no overtime to charge; no vacation time to pay out; no retirement benefits to pay out; no medical benefits to pay out, and no workman's compensation fund to pay into.
Because Eddie cleans alone, he can control his cleaning prices. In return, his clients benefit.
If he misjudges the scope of cleaning, he simply keeps cleaning or returns the next day to continue cleaning. He has no overtime. You have a "fixed price" and Eddie knows this. Clean "thoroughly" he says even though there is a fixed price set at a not-to-exceed price. By following this business course, he knows that his reputation as a professional cleaner is secure.
With employees, Eddie's reputation is at risk each time an employee cleans. He knows that he may need to return to the job to make things right that were left undone by an employee.
Apartment management companies often find Eddie's fees are well below the competitions. They too appreciate this part of Eddie's business plan.
Of course, insurance companies also realize a cost savings when working with Eddie for the same reasons.
But there is more than the solo cleaner aspect of Eddie's business plan. There is the added-value that he makes every effort to include on each cleaning job. Because Eddie has carpet cleaning experience as well as water damage and restoration experience, he sees what other biohazard cleaners may not see.
Eddie looks for things to be done, and then does it. Like cleaning carpet. Few companies clean, let alone realize, that the path from the cleaning area needs to be cleaned. Eddie cleans it.
The price remains the same, fixed at a not-to-exceed price! |
