reggie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks Mr Happy. Good informative response. May I ask, how many install engineers (intruder) do you employ? Quote

reggie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) me + 1 Is that through choice of not wanting to expand, i.e. happy with your current workload vs overheads, or not enough work in your service area, i.e. too much competition? Edited June 22, 2015 by reggie Quote

whistle Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Wouldn't it be better to ask what value of invoices have you raised so far this month, this would give a better idea of how much work is going on. Quote

reggie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 There's isn't suitable multi skilled talent & can't seem to train it, I hear this a lot. I guess with the "one product paint by no's" approach would allow you to bring apprentices through quicker though? Wouldn't it be better to ask what value of invoices have you raised so far this month, this would give a better idea of how much work is going on. I felt that may have turned people off answering tbh. Also, I'm only really interested in intruder installs, not access, cctv or fire job. Quote
MrHappy Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) how much did you loose when Rolf was put away? our domestic customers are dieing off, some commercial stuff retire & the premises end up void or redeveloped. Edited June 22, 2015 by MrHappy Quote Mr Veritas God
