I`m a mobile detailer in Houston,Tx and with the weather last week was my best week ever in terms of profit. I use the Internet as a marketing tool, and aquire many clients this way, but mostly people who just want a clean car, not total paint correction. It only took a few of my best clients to spread word throughout auto forums about my work and then the High-End clientele started to find out. So here I am now booked up for the next 2 weeks and having to turn people down, people who will pay big to get a detail. These are the people who email me with how many cars they have and want the best package I have for all of them, the people who call are usually bargain hunters who can`t appreciate all the work that goes into correcting the local corner car washes mistakes. Sorry for the long intro but my question is do I hire someone to help me out with jobs so I can do more cars and grow the company? I just don`t want the product I have worked so hard and put my name on to be blemished. If I hire someone, what is the rate I should pay them? Should I expand and put another unit on the road? You guys can answer this better than me because I`m sure alot of you have crossed this road before. I could go on and on about how much I should pay someone and training them properly. I guess to grow this company I`m eventually going to have to hire someone I can trust and that is willing to learn, I`m just not sure how to go about it? Any input from the pros would be greatly appreciated.
