    I just started my Junk Removal business in N.Y. I had my first big job last week and I was excited. It was a 2 bdrm apartment in a basement that got flooded. Everything had to go. We did it in 8 hours. Me and 3 men. I told him $1600 and I thought my estimate was on point. Lol. My guys made more money then me that day. But as you said. It's a lesson

    My kids need new jackets. Could have them embroidered with the business logo and they can advertise when they at schools. Maybe a teacher needs some stuff hauled off one day. This would full under a tax right off for advertising. Lol
    Also i just ordered some 5.11 face mask on there website. 2 pack mask for $9.99. Going to have them embroidered with the business name on them. They will go good with the 5.11 shirts I've got with the business name on them. Got to love the tax right offs for business. Plus another way advertising the business when walking around in stores or at customers houses. Even got the youths ones for my kids for school. Advertising advertising advertising.

    Hey Matt and JoJo, Love your videos and looking to get started in the Boise Idaho area. I'm thinking of starting out with a heavy duty 14ft dump trailer with weights 4500lbs. I was wondering what your average dump weight is when you have a full load as I am shopping for a truck and trying to figure out if I need to purchase one that can tow over or under 8500lbs. Also, do you guys do business consultation calls or emails? I have some more in depth questions about the biz. Thanks and keep hauling and balling!...

    What up Matt Vick and the JoJo Lina. I'm out here in PHX Stacking Cash and Tossin Trash, and I have a quick question for you. When you were starting out, did you call around and research comps in and around your area? I've been doing this since December 2021 and recently I've been losing some leads to lower pricing. I do follow your advice about not being afraid to lose cheap customers, but I'm a little worried that my pricing structure is out of line with the market. I don't have set pricing and I usually bid per job, but if it's a full trailer (5x10x4 or 7 yrd dump trailer) full of general garbage or debris I'll charge $375 for a full trailer load. That's with $44 a ton dump fee at my local transfer station. First glance at that garage cleanout you did I would have probably given a ballpark bid of $650 - $800. Would have probably been 2 loads for my trailer. Is that close to what you did the job for or am I way off in either direction? Any info is good info. I look forward to a response. Thanks -Greg

    • @SonomaStrong
      @SonomaStrong  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So you are charging about $50 a cubic yard, which sounds about right in our area. It sounds like you called around in your area, does junk king charge about that? Finding your sweet spot for pricing is the hardest part, but you will find it. You don’t want to be the cheapest, you don’t want to be the most expensive, you just want to be somewhere in the competitive range. Don’t get discouraged, we don’t really remember what we did that job for specifically. Good luck to you

      @@SonomaStrong Dizzamn that was the quickest response I’ve ever received on TH-cam (my best Matt Vick voice) Not a wonder why you have 20k subscribers. I haven’t actually checked junk king yet. I did check in with a few other junk yard dogs and they are around the same pricing. One more question if possible, do you always do in person estimates? Since this is still a side hustle at the moment, I do a lot of ballpark estimates using pictures of the items to be removed. I’ve been catfished a few times with that though and I charged way less.

    • @SonomaStrong
      @SonomaStrong  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You will land more jobs in person, but sometimes you have to quote through pictures. Never give a firm estimate from pictures, pictures are misleading, you can’t tell how heavy bags are, or how deep the pile is or even how large a pile is and what is under the pile (tile etc..) tell them that based off the pictures it will be between this and that, let them know you won’t have a firm price until you see the job in person. Our channel membership walks you through this in more detail, you can look into that. Thanks for watching the videos
