My work week

[Dave M]

In light of some past threads regarding topics like "best day ever" or "what do you make in a week" or "what do you charge" or "how do you get new customers" or "are you full time or part time" ....I thought I'd add this to the mix.
I've scheduled my weekly stops so that my busiest day is on Monday (6 accounts) and my slowest day is Friday ending around noon if possible. Monday usually brings in between $250-500 depending on what season we are in. Winter months in Maine are my slowest.
Tuesday-Thursday have scheduled stops also but I have more time in between those stops to allow for retail phone customers or unscheduled repairs. Friday is my winding down day.
I work alone and have NO plans to hire anyone. I am mobile only (20 mile radius). 14 years in business, average 27 hours a week and have not hit the 60k mark yet and I don't feel like I have to.
My Monday and Friday stops always include rental agencies. They are my bread and butter. No matter what the economy or weather, they always have had repairs. Tuesdays-Thursday are my dealership stops mixed with retail.
What I like now is sometimes starting my day with no retail appointments and not having much else going on with the dealers and still ending the day with $250 and a smile!

Davem, ending the day with a smile we both have something in common there, I also start mine with one I love this business.

I would rather have a guy fix my windsheild that leaves with a smile then in a hurry and in a sad mode.

Do what makes you happy. When you do what you like, you will offer the best service.

Service is all you offer. Anyone can fix a windsheild. The folks that service it give the customers value. When you are the one paying for the repair. You are paying for service and value.
