What Do You Do When You Flat Rate?

Flat rate pricing is easier than time and material pricing. You carry a book that has the price of all common repairs; things you do 85% of the time (a miscellaneous section covers the rest). You charge a reasonable fee (like perhaps $49.00) to travel to their home or business. You then take your time and look over the problem. It's great because the customer isn't hassling you for not walking or talking fast enough. You quote from the book so there is no argument over what time you supposedly got there. The customer knows that everyone pays the same price because it's in writing. They can either say yes or no. They usually say yes! If they say yes you get to work, if they say no you politely thank them and leave. It's that simple!

A Little More on Flat Rating

Regardless of who you are, you are using flat rate pricing now! Every time you write a sales proposal you are flat rating. Every time your customers ask "how much" your techs are giving out flat rate prices. Trouble is, your techs are guessing and ball parking and they're not doing a very good job at it. That's one reason they hate dealing with money.

Using a flat rate book from MrHVAC.com, you will provide your technicians with a simple, easy to follow, professionally written book, that includes a price for everything they do. Your technician simply looks up a task and quotes prices right from the book. The customer has an opportunity to ask questions, hear their options, and approve all work before it happens. Their is no risk.

Your customer will pay more because you're offering them an absolute guaranteed no risk price. You avoid arguments over what time you showed up or when you left. You avoid unfair comparisons about your rates because you no longer disclose your hourly rate to the whole world.

You can be assured that your books are accurate because we know what we are talking about. MrHVAC.com is owned and operated by someone like you. James R. Leichter is an accomplished service technician turned business man. He knows what you go through everyday because he has been there. We have been selling this flat rate program, under the same name, since 1996.
