Best Single Day Ever!

Post by S&W Glass Repair »

OK, I need guys to be honest here. What's your single best day in sales?
Back in the early 1990's I was the largest by far in the southern tri-state area. I employed 3 part timers plus myself. The way it worked was as follows. I had one other part-time technician plus myself, two kids who worked for me as well. One would locate the trucks and clean the windshields and put the base over the break after picking the break and possibly drilling a hole. Myself or Jim (the other tech) would do the actual repairs and the other kid was the clean up guy. He would come by and remove the film tab, scrape the pit filler off and polish the break. Once we were moving things rolled very well. I had 45 very large accounts back then and my best day occurred on a Saturday. My prices back then were $25 for the first ding and $10 for each additional. It was summer so we hit the road Saturday morning at about 6am and didn't get home until 7pm that evening. My grand total for the day was $2200, I have never crossed the $2000 threshold in a single day since. My second best day was probably $1600 or so. At that time the kids made $6 or $7 per hour and my tech made $12 plus the deal was I bought them lunch. After an incredibly hard day like that I gave them all $100 bonuses which after my complete costs left me with about a $1500 profit for the day. Please let's hear your stories, everyone has one, they should be fun to read!
Cheers,
Scott

Toab,
That $550 day included a mix of charges. (fleets, retail, dealers and ins.) It was on a Monday when I service my rental agencies @ ($30 + 10) a couple dealerships @ ($40+15) retail, 1 or 2 vehicles @ ($60 + 15) and if I remember correctly one ins. @($59.95). Total w/s repaired that day was 17. Hope that helps!
This passed Monday, the 15th, I did $475 with about the same accounts. This is NOT always the case. There will be Mondays with the same stops (accounts) and I only do $100/150.
