Re: $10.00 hand car wash/detailers
I've said this before, and I'll say it again:
Who care's what your base price is? Mcdonalds sells burgers for $1. Yea they get people coming in for that $1 burger, but 99% usually leave with a coke and some fries and maybe an apple pie. If any of you had even a shred of salesmanship in you, it would't matter what your starting rates were because you could just upsell additional services that are more profitable.
My point = Learn how to sell!
I'll leave this Here (WARNING FOUL LANGUAGE): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kZg_ALxEz0

exactly and that's just breaking even, even the jack leg (hand car wash) guys who are independent should be charging close to $20.00 for a standard car

First they are the labor and they use the same buckets Of swil all day long. If someone is considering their service they are not your customer.
