It really depends on the job. With a performance contract we determine the cost of labor needed, equipment, and supplies. Then we split those cost up over 12 monthly billings.  With a staffing contract we determine the number of staff needed to perform the services and bill based on that number.  Then there is time and material. We will bill based on the number of hours to perform the service and any material needed.

One of the best ways I have learned over the years comes from the master of sales training himself, Zig Ziglar. I have used this in the proper situation with positive results. "It's easier to explain price once than to apologize for quality forever." After explaining the services I am providing and the overall quality and performance they can expect, my prospect will either appreciate the best value I will bring to his organization, or he let's me know that he is looking for the lowest price. At that point I need to decide if this is an account I want. If there is no additional opportunity or reason to accept an offer that is below our minimum price, I graciously turn down the offer. I would rather my competition aquired this account, wasting their time and not making a profit, while I spend my time working on accounts that appreciate the difference my services makes, and are willing to pay a fair price for those services. The account must be a Win-Win situation. If there is no margin, there is no mission. I don't ever want to be considered the Walmart of the cleaning industry. I would prefer to be the Nordstrom of the industry, providing exceptional customer satisfaction to those that appreciate it, and never having to apologize for anything less.
