Electrical Estimating.

Zoomup
You have just visited a small house to look before providing an estimate for the cost of the work. It is a  small job and will cost between £1,500 to £2,000. Upon leaving, the householder says to you: "I will be getting other estimates".


Does this


a, Annoy you?


b, Not faze you?


c, Reduce your interest in getting the job?


d, Increase your desire to put in a really low estimate?


e, Make no difference?


g,  Other, please specify.


Z.

    Paperwork and estimating / quoting for jobs is was a love hate thing for me.

    when I was at my busiest rushing round like a lunatic trying to earn as much money as possible for my first house deposit probably about 12-13 years ago now.

    i tried doing all my estimates and quotes at the end of each day say between 5-7pm , but often sat up at 8pm still doing quotes,

    then someone suggested trying taking a half day every Friday then do all your ‘admin’ stuff between 12-6 on a Friday afternoon 


    either way paperwork and admin is a necessary evil and I honestly don’t think customers / potential customers appreciate we don’t earn While sat on the laptop for the 6 hours a week we spend sat at home doing quotes etc 


    fortunately I only now do part time so admin is no more than 1 hour a week these days , if that...

    I spend more time on forums having a chat :)
