3. And this for me has been the turning point in my business, take pricing seriously.
Never price when you see the job, say to the customer it'll take a couple of days. Now you can think about the job. How long will it take, what materials will you need etc, is there anything awkward or special you need to pay attention too or order. Price it m2, then price it day rate plus adhesive, which works out better for you. Don't work for nothing, but also don't overprice, people aren't daft.

Great, solid advice all round but this point is very important. It's all to easy to get caught up in the pricing and give the customer a verbal price. In my opinion, it's better for you and more professional if you go away, work it out properly and send the customer a full written quote, detailing all the work you'll do, the materials used and any extras that are needed.
