Americans saw inflation rise this spring to levels not seen in 41 years, affecting food, housing and fuel prices. 

Contractors price their services for many reasons. However, most contractors don’t know their true operational costs. 

Basing your selling prices on your competitor’s prices is a bad idea. How do you know the owner is basing his prices on his company’s true operational business costs? 

I recently received an email from George, a general manager at a Florida plumbing company.

Did you ever consider how much of each consumer dollar you charge your customers actually stays in your business?

When you enter the business arena, you encounter the costs of doing business.

Numbers and words are important for those contractors who intend to succeed in their PHC service contracting businesses.

During a conversation with a plumbing contractor (I’ll refer to as Tip) who called me he told me about a fellow plumbing contractor who is a friend of his.

If you are a contractor, make sure you are taking every opportunity to make your business successful.

I’m sure you've often wondered about how your competitors came up with their prices. They may have beaten you out of a job you wanted.
