Just an idea for those that want to educate the low ball comp. He said you could use it, why don't you copy it and sent it with out your company info to them. Chances are if you put something about the business on the envelope they will at least read it. If you are lucky, they will be smart and re-think their pricing.
Heck if you print it out, it should be able to fit it on about 40 pages. Just kidding. It is a great educational writing that will stir up some doubt with the low-baller.

Nice to hear that it is an ongoing delima in other areas aside form Toronto.
I bid on 59 properties and was able to clean 8 of them. The property manager felt that my pricing was too high for his commercial plazas.
After completion in May, I was finally paid this month ...August.
One good thing about residential - paid in full upon completion of work!
Keep Smilin!

WHHHOOOAAAA! Very insightful, well written, and the numbers work!! I just finished posting a query to NJ fellows to make sure I wouldn't underbid the locals. We need to stick together and show consistency if we want to elevate our industry. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten the masses.

You know I hate to ask this since were not in a chat room but I've read so many peoples posts on here and I have to wonder.... Why is it that no one lists their company information or even their real name?
Are you all in some kind of witness protection program or something? Your in business, you should want to get your name out a bit, so post it and put your company info in your signature line.
