RyanBoedigheimer - Thanks so much for
the prompt response, your answers helped. Your technical support has been
great. We have been customizing our flat rate book and have used it already and
have witnessed its benefits even though our customization of the book isn't
totally set yet. The process of presenting it effectively with the customer is
an art I'm eager to perfect with practice and hopefully the book will provide
even more helpful insight into the presentation to the customer. The program is
exactly what it was advertised to be and we really like it. Thanks for the help.
FrederickThomas - A friend of mine bought the
1st Edition of your program last year and it worked out so well for him, that I
decided to try it for myself. Glad I did! This seems pretty easy to use even
though I'm not very good with programming, and I think I can have my book ready
to print within a week. I'm glad I didn't spend the money for the more expensive
books because this is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended, and your Q &
A page is a tremendous help too!
Glen Copeland from
ElectricianPDQ - We have reviewed the new Custom Estimation Systems for
Electrical Contractors - 2nd edition Flat rate pricing system and it's well
worth the cost. The page layout and printout options are greatly improved. You
can adjust the pricing schedule to meet your local job market requirements. They
offer a Q & A section
http://www.electrician-electricalcon...pricingQA.html that can help explain
that basics of their system.
This 2nd edition Flat Pricing System for electrical contractors is very
affordable at $200.
Their basic upfront price include the service call, labor charges and basic
material(s) roll into one average price. With a price book there isn't a reason
to separate the labor and material charges for the customer. The BOOK QUOTES the
total price without a separate breakdown of labor or material. Don't break down
charges on your invoice ($100 service call and $150 for parts), the price book
set the price! Think about eating out, the menu say the meal is $14.95 (not $5
for the meat, $2 for veggis, $2 for fries, $2 labor and $3.95 for overhead and
profit).
Flat rate assembly pricing reduces mistakes in not listing all material, wrong
labor amounts and math addition errors for the techs in the field. The
electrician doing service work can save time and money, plus increase their
overall profit.
Louis Roselle - John I have to say that your Flat Rate
program is a great deal. The pop-up boxes with your comments (same as in your
book) is a great idea, and the setup page makes it easy to enter the most common
values, and not having to do these one by one is worth the money alone. I have
no doubt that this system will save valuable time and increase my company's revenue. Nice Job!
Angel R. Ocasio - Thank you for your knowledge. I
recently purchased your Flat Rate pricing including your book, very helpful
John. I am certainly having fun making money.

really a well written bargain "

I read the book this afternoon, and its a great quick read. I have been in
business for about 2.5 years now, and I wish I would have had something like
this when I was starting out. Its a great general overview for a journeyman type
guy who may be thinking about going into business for himself. I even gleaned a
couple of things I hadn't thought of. "

For the new electrical contractor, particularly
someone just making the transition from the trade to their own business... I
think it is exactly what they need !"
Harry Kouris -" Regarding your book. I have been reading it all this week. I am reading in
spells. I have about ten pages left. It's a great book. I love the examples of
real life scenarios and how to approach them. It's like having you right here
with me. John Frezados mentoring me via literature! I love it. I am going to
have to go through that book again and again until it all sinks in and becomes
second nature. There is just so much valuable information that you cover in the
book that one cannot read it only once. It's not only THEE reference for me,
it's my companion! I think the same goes for your flat rate pricing guide as
well!
