A customer asked me how much it cost to do this job....
I answered him: $400-$800
He said: So expensive for this job?
I asked: How much do you think it would cost you?
He simple answers job me: right?!" $ $200 maximum... ." That's nat's a a pretty
For $ 200 I invite you to do it yourself.
But....I don't know how to.
For $200 1'II teach you how to. So besides saving you $400-800 you'll get the knowledge for the next time you want.
It seemed right to him and he agreed
But to get started: you need tools: A welder, grinder, chop saw, drill press, welding hood, gloves
etc...
But I don't have all these equipment and I can't buy all of these for one job
Well then for another $100 more 1'll rent my stuff to you so you can do it.
Okay, he says
Okay! Tuesday l'm waiting for you to start doing this work
But I can't on Tuesday I only have time today.
I'm sorry, but I'm only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers
Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Tuesday, give up my tasks
| forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to
pay for the nonproductive factors
That is? What is this?"
Bureaucratic, tax, vat, security, insurance, fuel etc..
Oh no.!... But to accomplish these tasks, I'm going
to spend more money and waste a lot of time!
Do you have them? You can do it to me before?"
-
Okay!
1'lI make you all the material you need. Truck loading is done Monday evening or Tuesday
morning you'll have to come by 6 loading the truck.
Don't forget to be on time to avoid traffic jams and be on time
- At 6??2 Nope! Too early for me! I used to getting up later.
You know, I've been thinking. I'd rather pay you the
$400-800. If I had to, it wouldn't be perfect and it would cost me a lot more.
When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- Punctuality
- Accountability
- Professionalism
- Accuracy
