I weed a lot out by having Katy tell them we are at least 2 months out on work, one month out on estimates. Meaning one month before I can even look at it. Additional month wait for written.

Most my regulars Just call and schedule, no questions. Some book up to a year ahead. Some book monthly visits. Some book at each visit, more quarterly or biannual. I can be heard at a 3 month back log that we are not currently taking on new clients.

Ya Cory, i keep trying to tell myself not to sweat getting a job out on bid. I'll be doing tree work someplace at the same rate.

I just keep plugging away. Once I figure how to balance things at 40 hours a week, I’m looking to figure out 32 hours a week😉

Mickey's keeping it on the DL re how many hours he puts in
Sorry forgot about this.
Maybe 6/7 hours a day when I work so 25/30 actually working then a couple of hours Saturday pricing, couple on a Sunday doing maintenance.
Sometimes more, usually less.

Smaller jobs (under 2k) I just write the price in a duplicate book on the spot.
Larger ones I’ll send an email with a drawing or whatever on the iPad sat at the kitchen table.
Nothing really engineered about it Cory, I’m very lazy, and after a while you sort of build the business that suits you.
In the middle of an underpriced conifer hedge removal job at the moment, lazy pricing, so about 1.5k short of what it should be (Phone and power lines slowing us down)
By the middle of this afternoon I had passed from the absolutely bloody furious with myself/running away to start a new life phase to the having a laugh and bollocks to it phase.
No one gets it right all the time!
