Once upon a time, a local nursing home called because the local furniture store recommended me. They wanted a\u00a0bid to clean 7,000 square feet of corridors, halls in the facility. After measuring it up, I gave the administrator my price. Based on the story I heard through the grapevine (last guys didn&#8217;t get it clean &#8211; just wet. And it smelled like a wet dog for 2 days), I expected my price to be higher. It soon became apparent the previous guys were pretty proud of themselves &#8211; they had charged 50% more than me!<\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She quickly accepted my offer (before I changed my mind) and we set about with the security guy to schedule the work. It had to be done after\u00a0dinner (7:00 P.M.) and completed before it got too late (patients had to sleep). I said, &#8220;How about Monday and Tuesday evenings? The security\u00a0guy says, &#8220;Which one?&#8221; I said, &#8220;Both, why? How long did it take the last guys?&#8221; He said, they were in at 7:00 and out by 10:00.&#8221; I said, &#8220;You mean\u00a0two guys did 7,000 square feet in 3 hours and charged 50% more than I&#8217;m charging and left it dirty and wet and smelling like a wet dog for 2\u00a0days and got paid?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\">He said, &#8220;Yep.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\">It took my 3-man crew 9 hours over 2 nights. We left the carpet clean, fresh, and dry. That&#8217;s value and price!<\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-538 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.procleanersnj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/price-vs-value.jpg\" alt=\"Value Versus Price - Warren Buffet \" width=\"750\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.procleanersnj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/price-vs-value.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.procleanersnj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/price-vs-value-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.procleanersnj.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ProCleanersNJ\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\">\n<h2 class=\"a-carousel-heading\">Related to this Article<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ZvNtEQkstr\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.procleanersnj.com\/blog\/how-to-identify-avoid-carpet-cleaning-rip-offs-and-scams\/\">How To Identify &#038; Avoid Carpet Cleaning Rip-Offs And Scams<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.procleanersnj.com\/blog\/how-to-identify-avoid-carpet-cleaning-rip-offs-and-scams\/embed\/#?secret=ZvNtEQkstr\" data-secret=\"ZvNtEQkstr\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;How To Identify &#038; Avoid Carpet Cleaning Rip-Offs And Scams&#8221; &#8212; ProCleanersNJ Blog\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"LEFT\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Value Versus Price Price\u00a0is what you pay.\u00a0Value\u00a0is what you get.\u00a0\u00a0Value Versus Price Here&#8217;s a little story to illustrate the difference between Value Versus Price.
