    Bidding is not rocket science. You first have to know your cost. The biggest question I get when coaching is "how much should i charge". Only large companies can use bidding software otherwise you are wasting tons of time bidding and less time trying to close the sale and build a great client list. Almost all the bids on my channel are bid the same way. Doesn't matter if it a $3k job or $300k. But it took me 6 years to finally get my system to work perfect! Every Time. No guessing if I made money. Thanks for sharing your system!

      My uncle is a electrician person. He takes plans and puts them on a scale. Then he see how much the plans weigh in grams and puts price out by waite. He tell me that the trick is having good scale. He say if scale is off then he can lose thousand of dollers. He seems to be going goode. He has nice truck with very expnsive wheels and very nice stero system.

      You can use our software to measure wire/conduit/cable runs on your electrical plans. Or, you can use our Site, Feeders, Motor Hookups, Branch Circuits, and Cable takeoff modules that help guide you through each wire takeoff.

      Shakul, I do not believe we mentioned a sample method sheet in this webinar. However, we did create these to share for a webinar.
