Estimating Jobs
So I quoted another job, and I'm unsure if my bid was low. Its for a construction site, they need someone to remove cardboard that protects the floor. When you give estimate do you take into consideration NEW TOOLS that you must buy? Example, I have to buy a WET VACUUM for this...

I'm available anytime Wednesday or Thursday. What time works best for you? I think I bid to low because I was taking into consideration the purchase of a wet vac. And the guy asked me how many guys am I bringing, the project is about 4,000 ft and it's just to remove the cardboard and vacuum it.
Good videos
Great videos, just finished the 2 modules. I also came from the Real Estate Industry. I landed my first client for tomorrow, I found them on NEXTDOOR. How should I quote my jobs?

@Scott Fling Sounds good, that's something I'll take into consideration when pricing my next job. A call would be great, I would appreciate that
Question
I'm just starting, how would I go about getting clients?

I'm a handyman at a commercial building. I'm thinking of starting my own business.
Today was a great day in the field!
Today I completed what I call a Half Day Service Appt., A few miles from my house, fixing squeaky floors and Creaky stairs. The customer paid me $450 for roughly four hours onsite, he paid a 45% deposit when he accepted and the balance in full when I was finished. He accepted 8 days ago and waited patiently until his scheduled day (today). He said he will be referring me and will post a five star review. What I did right: I viewed the job in person I provided a professional looking quote within a few hours of the appointment I set and managed expectations I explained what I was going to be doing and what I needed moved out of the way I sent him a schedule confirmation I sent him a text this morning when I was on my way I showed up on time, clean and organized I set my backpack and loose tools on a simple door mat that I brought in with me I completed the work quickly and exactly how I told him I would be doing it I cleaned up the work area I didn't use profanity or discuss politics I sent an invoice immediately when I was finished I made sure he knew how to pay using the link in my invoice I thanked him and respectfully drove off He paid me before I was out of the neighborhood I will share the review here when it comes in In this community, this is exactly what I want to show you how to do! The work involved to get this type of customer to pay this kind of money for a simple job takes time to figure out and lots of trial and error. I can help you shave years off of this process. The small amount of money that I am charging for my upcoming courses pales in comparison to the money you will make with what I will be showing you here. Join today, I recommend Premium so you can be a part of the next Zoom Call. I promise that by the time the next payment is due, you will have seen the value and will want to stick around. Thanks for listening! Hope to see you on the call!
