A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video by Mike Andes (uploaded June 19, 2023) where Mike and John discuss why service businesses should set a minimum charge. They cite a specific example: a three-bush trimming job that takes about 15–20 minutes, and a stated minimum charge of $99 to cover overhead and ensure consistent pricing for recurring visits every 4–6 months. Mike emphasizes the price will be the same every time (no surprises).

Okay, so now understand initially for, like.
99, that that's our kind of our minimum charge.
That job, for example, would take 15 to 20 minutes each time we come and just trim those three bushes. However, you do have overhead, like, command center, and just overall operations, where you've got to have some sort of minimum charge, especially if you're only coming every four to six months. Like, he's just gonna call us and like, yeah, I want them trimmed again.
Yeah, it'll be the same exact price every time. No surprises.
Awesome.
I'll respond.
Awesome. Thanks, John. I appreciate it. You have a great day.
Have a good day. Not a big job, but we got on the schedule, and honestly, it's recurring revenue. A couple hundred bucks more in the bank.
