WalMart pricing, but they screwed up, should have been $199.99!!

When you are going for volume, not price, every penny counts!!!

As Ray Crock, McDonalds, stated "we are a nickle dime business, every penny counts toward profit.

F W Woolworth once exclaimed, "I made a million dollars--one penny at a time."

I thought that might work for me, so I'm charging 1 cent per inspection...and so far so good.

Only 99,999,998 more inspections to go...

I'd rather do 7 inspection for $300 than 10 inspection for $200.

I'll take my family to dinner with the extra $100, and spend my extra time here fellowshiping with you all.

BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE!!!

He does a "drive by" lets the dog out, if the dog comes back tail wagging, the house is good, tail between his legs there are problems.

Back at the office, dog barks out his findings, owner types report, dog signs with paw print.

DONE DEAL

Dog is a "credit card" member of ASHI

Hey Henry...I always wondered what happened to Tony. Too bad.

I wondered about Tony and Todd allen

lowballers are just that, lowballers it wouldn't make a hill of beans if they were a HI, gutter cleaner, roofer, what ever, they would still be lowballing the ***** out of what ever industry.
it is a mentality, that your capable and competent, again I raised my prices intown and still have phone calls so i do not see the need to lowball just keep current with the average and everyone wins, and lowballers can have a new higher price and we will raise our prices even higher to level the field again so we can have low ballers lol
