looking through some old quotes this evening, got me to thinking what % of accepted quotes you are happy with/aim for

over the last 3 months ive had an acceptance rate of roughly 74%, im pretty pleased with that and im not sure i could handle much more without being booked 3-4 months in advance or running 2 teams

Yes, we aim for a 75% acceptance rate.

We could drop our rates and win a higher percentage but then I'd just become what I'd hate to be and thats a busy fool.

Having said that, there are times like recently when we had only 3 weeks work ahead of us and it seemed every quote was lost to others.

Now I offer a free Lime flavour lolly and a ball point pen with each quote and it's all go go go again!

I would say that 74% is a bit on the high side, if you're really busy. I would raise my prices by 10-15% (during busy periods) and see your net profits go up by double that (on the jobs that you win), easily compensating for the slightly reduced workload.
