The most I've done in a day is 28 repairs, but that's only on 4 windscreens in total. It was for a bedding company with 28 trucks. 2 of em had about 8 breaks each. Took about 4 hours.

My best mentor one said " be fair with your priceing but never too low, be honest with your customer/competition, when the day is done be sure you have done "good works", and always leave something of value on the barganing table!!

While my friend and trainer/ mentor Ray has moved on, his words live.

I want to tread carefully here. I am not accusing anyone of stretching the truth, but how in God's world are those figures possible?
These forums are for newbies, and they are going to believe they will make this kind of money!
I am going on 17 years, so please tell me what I have done wrong!

Bill D The question we answered was how many repairs in a day. I admit I changed this slightly to how much money earnt. It does not matter that not every one will reach these figures, we were asked a question and we give an answer.

An average day for most quality techs over here should be about
33,000 + screen repairs over 18 years and still learning.
Over

The figures are possible if you have a fleet account with that many repairs available to you. I would suggest you haven't run into that situation in 17 years. Any one starting out has the possibility of doing this.

Bill the point that you seemed to miss with the obvios big fish story of 7,324 followed with the tell tale lol was that the number of repairs done in a day doesnt really matter its what do you earn and how hard do you work. I spent 20+ years on the sales floor of varios car dealerships and seem many guys with 20 yrs in the buisness who knew less about it than the guy who had been there a couple months. Te way to succeed in this buisness is the ability to sell followed by the ability to be consistant. The new guys are told how to find accounts and how to keep them once you are in. The actual repair process could be taught to anyone including a slow chimp the buisness end most will never succeed at. hard work and the ability to sell is my formula for success follow it or dont I still get paid
