When bidding storefronts, I use price points - $15, 25, 45, 75, 125. These can be used for either in/out, or outside/doors, or outside only.
I find it simplifies the bidding process greatly. I only use 5’s and zeroes. No $12, $17, $19, etc…
Anyone else use this method? Dont read about anyone doing it this way…
I don’t use those exact numbers, but I do use increments of $5 for all storefront work.
It also seems to be easier for payments in cash, not sure why, maybe it’s a mental thing but I like it and my customers haven’t had issues with it.
Wassup Mike!
Yo!
Sounds like the $5 bill is the new single.
When building up my storefront routes I definitely gravitated towards specific price points. Not sure why. Unconsciously, I think I’d have success and get so used to saying a certain number ha ha
I only do residential but I like 5’s and 0’s too when presenting a bid…
We also use increments of $5

Your not that special Jordie! 
That is true! Caught that little innuendo, did ja?
Interesting. Maybe people are more comfortable with multiples of 5 versus $38 or $41 for the job.
Sometimes I round up to the nearest increment of 5. I will try to be consistent with 5ing my bids and see how it works out.
All my storefronts are in $5 increments, with a $10 minimum. If I bid a shop, and find out the last guy did it for $12, I’ll bid it at $15. Most times two or three dollars a month make little difference to the client, but multiplied by any number of stops it adds up much better for me at the end of the day.
Residential I will quote them the exact price as calculated per pane or per service. Then I round down to the nearest 5 if I like their attitude.
omg what happened to your head ???!!!

I know it made you feel safe…
But hey my avatar changes a lot…lol
Always round up, brother!
They say that prices that end in 9 perform better than prices that end in other numbers. $14.99 would probably do better than 15. Why not try to up your prices to $19, $29, $49, etc…
Do a side by side and see which works best
