well said, this is exactly how i quote , i can tell by most customers messages if they want quality or if they are the classic “it just wants a quick skim” customers
This is one of the best pieces of advice on pricing I've seen in a while. Only you know your worth, and as you say Joel what anyone else charges is irrelevant
Yeh i get it totally great advice ppl can get abit desperate for the job but like u say theres alot of time wasters out there but if u fine out alot from the custermer first them u can talk prices this has helped alot like u sed u cant get that time back 💯👍
Great video mate. Straight down the line no bullshit I rate that 💯🎯 learnt a bit too with asking the customer what sort of budget they have in mind its not even a confidence thing I just never thought like that. Learn something new everyday I love it. All the best mate roll on Edinburgh 👌
Great info especially asking for their budget! If we were all open to pricing would that encourage other plasterers to aim high an get the majority out of the rat race pricing to the bottom. I don’t mind the guy next to me earning the same, I see the short game plans but what about long term an everyone pushing to build up the plastering game to a high priced trade. Plastering & roughcasting is so undervalued for the physical a skills required to do a mint job.
Some spreads buy their work so if you charge decent rates you’ll often not get those jobs against those cheaper prices, never buy your work and never change your quotes. He’s right never chase the crap, personally I never render anymore just don’t want it.
@lee davis the point being, charge what you want to earn, it's irrelevant what anyone else charges, if you're happy making £250 a day, charge that, if you want £300 a day charge that etc etc, never let another spread dictate your prices 😉
@@leedavis7663 Some are also charging too much. In my city ( Up North) the going rate is between £500-£800 a day. Quoted for two 3m x 3m rooms £1850. Been told it will take 2 days.

Amen👍 well said Joel. It's not site work to ask for going rate😉
Yeah mate your right pal 🙌🏾

Top advice Joel! Love to link up one day and do a spray with you or come on one of mine (I’ll show you how it should be done)😂👊
Yeah man I would be up for that to be honest mate 👊🏾
when they say ‘ i’m getting another few quotes’ usually means you’ll never hear from them again
So true or the famous “I’ll get back to you”
I don't understand why plasterers seek approval from other plasterers on how much they are worth
I don’t mind people asking because a lot of guys are not charging enough and don’t know.

Couldn’t of said it better my self. Loose the fear and know your worth. Very good content Joel keep it up 🙏🏻

the take away from this vid is "align yourself" :)
yes mate align yourself with your customers you want to work with.
