You posted the same time as me. Yes, I think inflation is getting people upset but we not immune to inflation so our prices have to go up also. You are right on with the Emergency Pricing. I'm going to do that, I like the wording on that! Since I saw her post I've been trying to get the right...

Here's a sign I lost yesterday to the competition - AND I'M HAPPY ABOUT IT. Old crabby guy walks in asking if I'm the gal that was in xxxx city, I said no, that was Penny, she retired and sold her business to new people. He asked for one coroplast double sided sign with step stake that says...

I get a lot of those late night calls, texts and FB messages. I also sometimes put my phone on DND. Got a FB message last night at 8:30 asking if I could please add 2 shirts to the order they need for tomorrow. This summer has really been on my nerves with people expecting things done asap and...

He's just trying to get a deal. Don't budge on your price. Your business is like mine, it's not set up to do wholesale. You aren't buying 10 rolls of 50 yard vinyl for a discount, you aren't cutting 50 yards at a time or printing 2 rolls a day. You are doing small jobs and small runs therefore...

Funny cuz the Google listing says "Permanently Closed" but he still has his FB page running and it shows OPEN 7-5 daily - drives me nuts! He closed in 2017. And yes, for a while it DID smell like fish in here! I had remove a bunch of minnow tanks when I bought it! Just for you I found these...

Funny thing is before I left for vacation I stayed late and had 6 people mad at me to finish up this stupid job. It's still sitting here 2 weeks later...

I agree, I think the most important thing is URGENT CARE, not the branding. Kind of like in my front window it says SIGNS really large. Since the prior business was a bait shop, it was important for me to convey that I make SIGNS, and don't sell guns and fish bait. 6 years later and I had a guy...

Since it's only me here looking at stuff I don't really have to worry much. They do have several list options. There is also a space on each job where you can assign certain tasks to a specific person and then print their task list out. When I get very busy I usually print the list out and start...

Marco - that's considerably better than the original. You are on the right track, keep going. Maybe try a few different color options. the guys are right about the black/red, black/blue combos. Many seem to use a white background, perhaps it represents cleanliness? IDK Maybe you can try the...

No idea but for regular vehicles I use the SLX+ and I LOVE it. Boudica uses the SLX+ I believe...

I used Estimate years ago and I really liked it. I have since changed to SignTracker. I did not import any data. I like it for the estimating part and the job tracker part. There's a lot of extras in it that I haven't gotten to yet. I find it very easy to use. Drop and drag.

Personally, I use the Quote column as soon as the job comes in if it's something that requires me to calculate and get back to the customer. It means "Stacey - you need to send the customer this quote". Once I send it I slide it to "Opportunity" because you don't get all the quotes you send. I...

I use Acuity. I can't find my policy but this is sent to anyone who requests proof of insurance. It's wrapped into my property insurance for the building. My agent is a 65 year old lady. I just had a 65 year old man adjuster here. The only thing he told me to do was make sure my batteries were...

Some guy who is smarter than I am had a nice spreadsheet where he accounted for ink, electricity, cleaning, etc. Monthly payment not included. Contour Cut ink .29 cents and Full Coverage ink .32 cents. Those are the prices I use. I am just a one person shop so I'm not going through thousands in...

This is just a screen shot from the company website. You can have any columns you want. I usually move them up and down. Once I do an estimate and send it out then I move it to the first column that I have labeled as "opportunity"

I used to do clip boards then a white board...now I use the board in SignTracker and I'll never go back to anything else. I have one large monitor dedicated just to the schedule. I get great satisfaction from dropping and dragging to the "close out" column LOL

For the record, I envisioned you to only be 60...

Everyone likes Quickbooks. As for the estimating, I use ShopTracker - I have used Estimate in the past but I LOVE ShopTracker!!! There's a lot of flexibility and there's a great calendar option, task options - much more than just estimating. You can upload a spreadsheet with all your pricing...

Oatmeal is a better choice for breakfast. We like Cherrios but often eat eggs for breakfast. Sugar accelarates cancer growth.
