***NOT MY WORDS BUT I HAD TO SHARE BECAUSE ITS SPOT ON!!***
I feel this is worth sharing...something I see a lot of...
A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE:
A customer asked a contractor how much it would cost to do this project.
The contractor gave him a quote: 拢4500
The customer responded: That鈥檚 seems really high.
The contractor asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job?
The customer answered: 拢2500 maximum
The contractor responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself.
The customer answered: I don't know how to.
The contractor said: Alright, then how about for 拢2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you 拢2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future.
The customer answered: Sounds good! Let鈥檚 do it!
The contractor responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc..
The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job.
The contractor responded: Ok. Well then for an additional 拢300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project.
The customer answered: Okay. That鈥檚 fair.
The contractor responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday.
The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I鈥檓 only available on the weekends.
The contractor responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work.
The customer answered: That means I鈥檓 going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time!
The contractor responded: That鈥檚 true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors.
The customer answered: What do you mean by that?
The contractor responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That鈥檚 all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that鈥檚 where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am.
The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn鈥檛 usually start until 8am!
The contractor responded: Well then you鈥檙e in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site.
The customer answered: You know, I鈥檓 realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your quote of 拢4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project.
CONCLUSION:
When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it鈥檚 a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for:
鉁旓笍 Knowledge
鉁旓笍 Experience
鉁旓笍 Custom Skills
鉁旓笍 Tools
鉁旓笍 Time to plan
鉁旓笍 Time to prepare
鉁旓笍 Professionalism
鉁旓笍 Work Ethic
鉁旓笍 Excellence
鉁旓笍 Discipline
鉁旓笍 Commitment
鉁旓笍 Integrity
鉁旓笍 Taxes
鉁旓笍 Licenses
鉁旓笍 Sacrifices
鉁旓笍 Liabilities
鉁旓笍 Insurance
If you request a quote for custom work to be done, please don鈥檛 disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices.
If their quote exceeds your budget, there鈥檚 nothing wrong with getting other quotes.
Just remember.. you get what you pay for.
馃憠馃徏 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it.
馃憠馃徏 CONSUMERS: Recognise their worth and be respectful of it.
