Often, customers choose the first reasonable estimate they receive. By providing a fast and competitive quote, you’re likely to win their business before they shop around.
Key Pricing Tips: How Much to Charge Per Square Foot
When determining your rates, several factors come into play:
-
Lead Flow: The number of leads you have can influence your pricing. More leads allow for higher rates.
-
Experience: More experienced businesses can often charge higher rates.
-
Location: Urban areas can typically command higher prices compared to less populated regions.
Using Quot IQ for Accurate Estimates
For this demonstration, we’re using Quot IQ, a powerful tool for generating estimates. You can try any tier of Quot IQ for just $1. Here’s a quick overview of how we use Quot IQ to streamline our quoting process:
-
Concrete Cleaning: Measure the driveway and calculate the square footage. Quot IQ helps with an integrated measuring tool and street view feature to get accurate measurements and a clear view of the property.
-
Roof Wash: Measure the roof area and set a price per square foot. Typically, roof cleaning rates range from $0.18 to $0.25 per square foot.
-
House Wash: This involves more variables, such as the height of the house. Instead of using square footage alone, consider the perimeter and the height of the walls to get a more accurate estimate.
Adjusting Your Close Ratio for Optimal Pricing
Keep an eye on your close ratio, which indicates how many quotes turn into actual jobs. A close ratio of 50-70% is ideal. If it’s too high, you might be undercharging. If it’s too low, you may be overcharging.
Efficient Estimating Process
Using Quot IQ, you can create and send estimates quickly. Here’s a step-by-step on how to do it:
-
Select the Customer: Enter customer details.
-
Choose Services: Use built-in sorting tools to select the services you’re quoting.
-
Measure and Price: Use the measuring tool for accurate square footage and calculate pricing.
-
Review and Send: Attach terms and conditions, then review the estimate before sending it to the customer.
