Painting Business - 5 Ways to Determine How Much a Single Customer is Worth
If you are in the residential service industry (i.e. painting business, carpet cleaning, lawn care, etc.) how do you calculate just how much money a single customer is worth? It's simple once you take the following facts into consideration:
1.) For one thing local service customers represent immediate income. Depending on your type of business, whether it's carpet cleaning, painting, window washing, etc. your customers are a way to make instant needed cash. You need to put food on your table and pay bills paid just like everyone else and there is nothing like immediate income to do it.
2.) Add-ons - one thing nice that adds to your immediate income is when customers add on extra work during a job. For example: If you are a house painter and you are painting their kitchen, they may ask you to paint the half-bath down the hall. This adds a nice chunk of cash to your immediate profits.
3.) Customers are a testimony of your good work. Sometimes a potential customer will ask you for references. Having plenty of previous satisfied customers on hand to use as a reference works well. I have had potential customers say things like "I thought they were your mom and dad the way they went on and on. They had so many nice things to say about you!". Wow! Is that a reference or what?!
4.) Your customers can give you lots of great referrals! Without intending to brag, I have made thousands of dollars off of single customers many times over the years. This happens simply from them referring me to their inner circle of family and friends. Not every customers will do this but with the ones that do, I can trace 2nd, third, and even as deep as 6 and 7 generations or levels of new business all pointing back to one single customer referring me to their friends and family for painting.
5.) And the fifth way to calculate a customer's worth is they may call you back many times to service them again. Many times I start out doing a job for a customer and then they call me back for a series of other jobs. I have even had customers give me inside work to do at my discretion to fill in for rain days painting somewhere else! (How did they know?)
This is the proper way to know how much money a single customer is worth to you. Take all that into consideration and I guess each customer can be worth thousands and thousands of dollars to you over the years in your own local service business!
I know this from experience... I'm thinking about just one customer in particular right now that over a 10 year span of painting for them, they have had me back quite a few times. This same customer has also given me some excellent referrals. I can trace new business 5 and 6 levels deep and probably deeper from just this one painting customer alone.
That's the exciting thing about owning your own local business. You get to meet a lot of fine interesting people. These are really nice people that have the money to hire you with. And they have lots of friends who have lots of money to hire you with too! (I call that job security.)
The bottom line is this, if you treat each customer as if they were worth a million dollars to you and consider no job as being too small, they can eventually lead you to some great opportunities to expand your customer base.

War Paint Insecticide Paste $15.99 War Paint®requires very small amounts to kill and repel flies. Small amounts of War Paint are placed on the horse only where flies tend to congregate.War Paint, when applied to the horse, attaches to the hair of the horse and slowly releases the insecticide over a period of weeks. Full body fly control does not usually occur until 1 to 2 days after the application. The reason for this is it takes awhile for the formulation to release the insecticide onto the horse's hair.Because War Paint is not only an insecticide, but also an effective repellent, you will notice that in the case of face fly activity, the repellent activity of the product will be apparent within hours if not immediately after application.After a period of one to two weeks, as the insecticide is released onto the horse's hair, you will find that War Paint becomes powdery and will fall off the horse's hair leaving no adverse effects on the horse's appearance.Directions For Use: IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO USE THIS PRODUCT IN MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LABELING. DO NOT APPLY TO A WET ANIMAL SINCE THE PRODUCT WILL NOT ADHERE TO MOIST SURFACES.Full Body Fly Control: Adult Horses: For the treatment of pastured horses, it is recommended that a full application of War Paint be applied as a single treatment. This should provide adequate fly control for approximately one week on pastured horses.Active Ingredients By Weight: Permethrin (*(3-phenoxyphenyl) methyl cis, trans-3-(2,2-dichloroethyenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate 7.0% Related Reaction Products - 0.6% **Piperonyl Butoxide, Technical - 14.0% N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide - 21.0% Inert Ingredients - 57.4% Total - 100.0% *cis-trans Isomer Ratio: Min. 35% Cis And Max. 65% Trans **equivalent To Min. 11.2% (butylcarbityl) (6-propylpiperonyl) Ether And Max. 2.0% Related Compounds. epa Reg. No. 58864-2-36208 epa Est. No. 58864-nb-1Precautions For Use: Do not apply to the hair of a wet animal since the product will not adhere to moist surfaces. War Paint, once applied to the hair of the horse, cannot be wiped off. Therefore, it should not be applied within 1 to 2 weeks of an anticipated show even in which the presence of small amounts of War Paint on the horse's hair would have an adverse effect on the horse's appearance. As with any product, certain horses may be sensitive to one of the ingredients in War Paint and develop some local irritation. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. If irritation persists, consult your veterinarian.Precautionary Statements: Hazards To Humans And Domestic Animals War Paint Insecticidal Paste Caution: Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not contaminate food or foodstuffs.
