the old saing "you get what you pay for" isnt always true
there are many inexperienced estimators/newbies or con- men that deliver a terrible product for top dollar (plenty tuition painters horror stories out there)
so when i hear people say you get what you pay for, i would still advise them to beware
and yes lowballers are out there,,,,,but try to set yourself apart from these fellas,,,,,,,the calls you want to generate are the ones that say "i didnt call you because i wanted a low price"
i know that times are tough, and people shop,,,,,,,
this is why its so important to develop a great referral base,,,,,these great ladies/homeowners will sell your service for you to their neighbors and freinds
dont feel like you have to give every estimate,,,,,weed them out,,,,,qualify you potential customers,,,
you can do less and make more $$$$ if you position yourself well
this time of year can be rough,,,,,,theres a lot of starving painters coming off a rough winter, and whoring themselves out for some cash,,,,,,so i like to line up my first 2 months of exteriors during the previous fall and winter
just my 2 cents from a dumbazz house painter
