Ensuring your ScratchPad is setup correctly, you must configure the settings. This article includes setting the pricing tiers for the Scratchpad, their names, the dollar adjustments and/or the percentage adjustment.
The tradesmen create options by picking tasks from the catalogue and allocating the task to a specific option. To present multiple options with different pricing tiers to suit your client, you must setup your Scratchpad the way you want your business to sell.
We recommend the following:
- That you have a minimum of 2 pricing tiers and a maximum of 4
- That you consider how you currently sell
- Do you have VIPs? Membership Programs?
- Do you offer a pensioner discount?
- Do you offer a discount for additional work sold on the same job?
- Then decide on what increase/decrease you would like your pricing tiers to offer.
