i thought id be slow next week, but i signed 5 jobs on Friday and now am booked up again....im working 10-12 hours in the field a day and 2-3 hours bidding at night....i worked a 1/2 day today (sat)...
Frederick- im assuming its a blip....but its the largest blip ive had...2 months straight....in the past its only been 3-4 weeks....
i can see by the amount of bids im doing that it will slow down soon and get back to normal.....by hiring a part time guy i can handle the work load and let the demand grow more before i hire my 1st full time employee...
union rate package is $56 per hour- worker makes $35....i charge $88 for new homes and $104 for remodels/service...i typically make $15-30 per hour if the hours are exact...
a good question to keep this conversation going is:
IF I HIRE A QUALITY GUY Can I teach him speed? ...I want both of course.
I got a list from the union of 8 guys willing to work part time...most are not retired....some have been laid off for more than 2 years (wow they must be good)
i talked to one on the phone...his speaking speed was 1/3rd of mine. It was noticeably slower than an average person
i can give all 8 a phone interview....what should i ask them to gauge speed and quality?
1. rate your speed 1-10
2. rate your quality 1-10
3?
4?
if i hire a part time employee he will be next to me all day...if something is poor quality i can point it out and fix it while im there...i look over the whole job when i complete it....i typically spend 15 min examining everything.....so reputation wont be effected right now.....reputation is everything to me!
