So there is a person in my area that claims he is racking in 300k a month... I call B/S, that amount you would be doing 150-200 homes a month

By only doing work for s/g and msi etc.. I still call b/s

About 13k per business day if I can count fingers and toes.

Back when I still had youthful enthusiasm, we were working with all of the major nationals.
I came in the office one morning and my manager was really flustered trying to work the piles down on her desk. I offered to help so she gave me a stack.
I had run thru almost 50k worth of invoices for one client. Wow, I thought, maybe this is all worth the nervous breakdown afterall. I looked over at my manager who had started on a pile about 1/4th the size of the one she gave me.
"What's taking you so long slowpoke?" I asked. She looked at me and said "These aren't invoices. There are orders we haven't been paid for, have been shorted, or are still open on their end for pick a reason. Since I wasn't in the office that much I asked "For the year?"
"Nope. For the month".
There were many reasons we quit the carpet baggers, but that day sticks in my mind as the beginning of the end.

I'm sure DuAll does twice that a month.

Not talking about duall bud!

Our best year was 7mm. 7 States coverage and 2 part time States. That amount of work in TODAYS PAY would prolly be 1mm.

Can the gross be high? Sure
Is the net high? I think not.

That was my first thought upon reading this as well. Who cares if you do 10 million a month if you keep .00001% of that.

I love the guy in florida that is a member of NAMFS claiming he "makes" a million a year....doing work for a 2nd tier sub....

yeah $25 lawn cuts....

250k per month in this economy? No ****ing way.

I had the largest P&P in Colorado and our best years, I netted 250k per year. After 2010, the nationals started getting cute and I felt like I was making that much but the unpaid invoices, shorts, backcharges ate it up completely.

At the 2007 NAMFS conference, I met contractors that cut 35k plus lawns per month in the southern states like Florida. They were making bank, had corp boxes to football teams and such. I was such a yokel doing 30k per month in sales compared to them.

Todays economy there just isn't enough inventory to carve out that big of a profit. I'm surprised people are still hanging in this industry.

that is where my thought is also.. My state they have 3 vendors in the metro area.. our metro area is maybe 3 mill? but the amount of work we did from 2008-2014 would have taken most of it..

even in my local paper the foreclosure section at one time was 13 pages.. now its just 1 page again..

I guess if you give your field Qc person money on the back side i guess you can get away with it.
