[QUOTE="BC WetCoast, post: 5036060, member: 18180"] Many of our quotes are of the "stop by have a look at my tree and leave me a quote" type. In that case you need to determine what needs to be done as well as the price. You can't 'read' the client. It's easy if it's just a removal, but if the tree only needs pruning, then you need to show through your quote that you understand specs and standards. For example, we would get a request for a property walk around, so the quote may entail pruning, hedge shearing, shrub pruning and removals. I charge the same man hour rate for everything. What I'm saying is residential tree care is a much broader field than just removals, and you need to learn the different aspects. [/QUOTE]
