I bid a job recently using my usual “formulas”, then when I got to the bottom line, I added 12% to the price just to see if I could get it. Low and behold, I got it! The thing is, I don’t need the work, I was just bidding for a “pricing check”. I will take the job, I could use the 12%, Christmas is oh-so-close. Here’s the question, should I try for 24% more on the next job I don’t need? I know that many of you have many years of experience with this game, I don’t, please advise.
