working out of scope

[darking]

no such thing as 110%,100% 100 out of 100, cant get a quart out of a pint pot

 

[quality]

110% is markup or a bit on top

 

[stevetheplumber]

back boiler and fire is counted as a boiler(bbu) and you dont need a fire ticket that was direct from BGs legal team when i queried it last winter as i was working for them

110% is markup or a bit on top

silly me i thought that was called 10% markup ie 100 percent origional plus 10% markup

silly me i thought that was called 10% markup ie 100 percent origional plus 10% markup

a sales price can be advertised as 110% if you want it to, it simply means its 10% over the purchase price, a more important question is why is anyone only adding 10%?????????? you are deluding yourself, 20-25% of purchase price is what i was told by senior commercial managers who were experts in the contract field we were in to cover the "actual" costs of ordering/checking/uplifting/stocking/waiting on payment, and thats all before the guy in the van gets sent to fit the part

ok £80 + 10 % = £88
£80 + 110% = £168
Ps I am talking out of scope because my margin is 200%

So the facts are 110% does exist as explained by kirk in his sales pitch lol

my 110% was of the purchase price as i said not purchase price plus 110% but looking at the figures maybe that is the way to work it out

it annoys me when footy managers say they want their players to give 110% effort as that is not possible, but you can increase turnover or sales by 110%

It was my local independent who explained how he worked his MARGIN on supplied goods and that's how he prices his sales (been doing, it same place same supplies, over 20years).
Simply put He buys a part at X cost I pay his cost plus the % which is always more than 100% because he buys more than I do.
Some times he can be 20 30 quid more expensive but when you turn up and need a part and he has it on the shelf its worth that 110%

ok i submit

i made 900% on a job last week with no parts just an hour rate, took 2o minutes is that 100% plus overtime?.

 

[quality]

Is that a full 101% or just 99%

only jesting

ps welcome there is a good crowd on here

 

[darking]

when i started out pricing a job i would think of a figure, treble it and be amazed at how much that 3% added up to

 

[Napper]

What a load of rubbish on an otherwise relavent thread!

REDSAW surely if it was an hr rate and took 20 min thats only 300% unless you only gave it 33% effort?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

I don't know the price of bread:wink:

its £1.20 for medium braces LOL,and 2 quid for the other stuff i dont like but the wife does because it has budgie seed in it or something and apparently is good for your well being,as i pointed out beer is good for my well being,it de stresses me unless its stella that has a profound effect on me which is not good for anyone's well being lol

 

[tamz]

its £1.20 for medium braces LOL

I leave kind of thing to the professionals. I'd be working out of scope so steer well clear :lol:

no, it was a price job for 3 hours plus parts. i fixed the problem instead and took only 20 mins for a job i didnt want to do so charged the agreed rate and solved the problem.lol.

sorry to bring you guys down but.

There should be some common sense rule like...
If your found to be working out of scope on minor works you should have to prove that you have complied with the relavent regs regarding that appliance as long as your other tickets show a level of competancy -no prob. excluding instalation of course.

I remember adding an element to my ACS that involved 10min training and 1 question on a paper, does that really make me any safer to work on that appliance than any other well read engineer?

Not the point. If true then how will all those impoverished testing organisations & centres buy their nice second cars?
