So Flat Rate is new to you?

Today's Tip!

Electrical Flat Rate Pricing has been around for years. Long before we constructed price guides, we All had them. Your 100 amp, 200 amp Service prices are a great example of it. How about your per unit pricing, that you used for figuring your quick takeoffs. In the commercial world we would have our per unit price, and assembly prices for figuring multi-million dollar bids. So if you are new at this, remember that you have been doing this for years. Get all the conversations out of your head about this being new, weird or different. If you have set everything up properly, you now have a price book, and have calculated your true hourly break even. By making this shift solid in your mind, your Technicians, and Customers will know that this is just what it is. A professional well organized, honest service business.
