"One Number Every Service Business Should Know."

Revenue per labour hour.

Most owners cannot tell you this.

But it explains almost everything.

I worked with a commercial cleaning operator once.

He knew something very clearly.

It cost him $94 per hour to run the business.

Fuel.

Labour.

Materials.

Everything.

So he made one rule.

Minimum charge rate.

$130 per hour.

Some jobs walked away.

Winter was quieter.

But the jobs they did win were profitable.

That single number created discipline.

Many businesses price jobs.

Very few price their time.

Know your hourly economics.

It will change how you quote.
