Bidding, per say, Is 90% of where our pay has gone over the past 10 years. I take it you are talking about installing the sales the Co.`s, you mentioned, generate. If so, I suggest you first estimate what your overhead would be then look at paying your Techs. no lower than: standard dish & 1- rcvr. $70 + $15 ech. additional rcvr. + $10 for 2nd line to dvr. + $15 to $20 for AU9 dish. $30 to $50 upgrades + $15 on ech. adn`l rcvrs. on upgrades. Then add to those amounts what you would need to pay your overhead & make money. Techs. should keep thier customs. Set a fair guideline for customs so some techs. don`t lose customers due to overcharging. Take the total install price you come up with & submit it to the Co`s you want to work for, with your period of warrenty on your install & install materials. No matter what, stick to the prices you submit & stand behind your work.-----Last thing but certainly not least: YOU WILL FIRST HAVE TO SELL YOURSELF TO THOSE CO`S BEFORE YOU WILL GET THIER WORK. TRUTHFULLNESS, BACKBONE, PERSONALITTY, EYE CONTACT, A STRAIGHT BACK, A FIRM NOT PAINFUL HANDSHAKE AND A GOOD JOKE AT THE RIGHT TIME ARE THE MAIN THINGS THAT IMPRESS AND WIN PEOPLE OVER !!!!
I wish you the best.
