PROPERTY BASED PRICING
Changing pricing across the board is very time consuming. a few requests. Let the service and product catalog create a proper pricing matrix, to allow mass changes. Example: i do lawn care. after tracking everything and running the numbers i charge by sq ft. of the entire property. (factors in the trimming time better than just the lawn size) there are tiers for the pricing 0-10999 $50 11000-12999 $53 and .001 for ea sq ft over the min 13000-14999 $55 and .002501 for ea sq ft over the min etc etc etc. Im **bleep** about the numbers and almost every time i don't follow the formula i will lose money. What im looking for is something like this for the product catalog. You open up the the catalog and either put a blanket price on it that always populates or build that service or products pricing matrix, that then pulls whatever it needs from the clients page in my case property sq ft. runs it through the pricing matrix and spits out the number for that particular service. and yes we can always change it individually when needed byt this would put the pricing in the ballpark. and when sending out renewal letters, this cuts down hours and hours of work as its in house. when you need to change the pricing as everything goes up or down, you go adjust the pricing matrix, not every single clients page. For my treatment side of things, the lawn size is what matters, so the matrix would pull that number off the client page. I do christmas lights, i charge per linear foot as a baseline. it pulls that. this is about speeding up quotes going out especially in mass. Basically the sales book of this is what we charge for xyz the sales guy needs to price consistently compared to the other sales guy its in house and not on some seperate excel sheet outside of the CRM.Do you feel confident in your pricing?

When should businesses increase prices to keep up with rising payroll costs?
When's the last time you updated your pricing model to match your payroll reality? For example, our direct payroll (before tax) is 38% while our indirect payroll is 10%. As of January 2, we increased rates for all recurring clients by 4% to offload the indirect percentage. Going forward, we increased all first-time services by 5%. Thoughts?
What's the best way to do job costing?
Hello everyone, I have been inconsistent with adding expenses to each job. How are other jobber users adding expenses to each job to see your profitability per job? Are you having your techs keep track of parts/fittings used on a separate form and then adding that to the job after the job has been completed? Trying to find an easy way to keep track of this and get it entered into jobber. Thanks ErnieWhat affects pest control pricing the most?
Wondering if there are any other pest controllers out there that have any input into something I may not be thinking about when pricing my service? I take into account time, fuel, products, parking and working conditions. By conditions I mainly am referring to sanitation of the space I will be working. Are there any other areas I am missing?How to do a pest control estimate?
Hello everyone, Daniel here from Pest Free Canada. I am wondering if there are any other pest control companies on here who have any new or interesting ways to provide a estimate to a potential client? Or even to add value to a current customer? My company focuses on solving a customers immediate and ongoing issues, but also doing exclusion work to prevent it from happening again. I also like to look for other small jobs that a client may need and offer that service to them. I feel like this strategy adds the most value to every stop I make and lets the customer know that I care about really solving their issues.
