to be more particular im talking about giving discounts or doing charity cleanings? anyone do that?
today i went on a repeat resi window clean of this 80yr old german lady (1800 sq feet 4bd/ 2bath). she is widowed, she is not rich but i would assume middle class, her local church people come over every november to help her setup her christmas decorations/tree in her home, another church guy comes and power washes her small deck for free. Her neighbor comes over atleast once a week to drop off food.
on my drive to her home this morning i was thinking about knocking the price down from 280 to 200 as a goodwill gesture and to show her that i do have charity in my heart for the elderly.
as im cleaning and talking to her at the same time, she tells me about her two children, her 50yr old son is well-off living in another state working as a medical director of a hospital. she paid off the mortgage of her daughters home and is helping to pay for the two grandkids private schools.
she also tells me that her home that cost her $120k in 1970 is now valued at 1.5mill and when she passes away they will sell it and give the money to her grandkids.
all thoughts of discounting my service have vanished and i charge her full price.
is that bad?
