Makes more sense now why you are paying your manager 48K a year.

I have 7 units. I haven't brought in nearly that amount in 8 years.

Since you will steal all the clientele from your competition and since you will be busy year round, here are the numbers.

Sessions per unit per hour 3
Number of units 7
Hours open per day 24
days open per year 365
average price per session 12

total revenue per year $2,207,520

It is obvious that Matt was way off on his estimates. More like $2.2 million.

Steal eh? Yeah, I remember thinking I would do that too. Doesn't happen that way.

All you do is borrow them temporarily, in order to keep them you have to do 1 of 2 things. Offer them a price that no one else will ever match, or bend over backwords, stick your **** in your ear and whistle the national anthem. The WOW factor. But don't rest, cause they expect to see that every single time they walk through the door. By end of first week my ear was soo sore I had no choice but to lower prices....lol

Oh I see now. Customer service. You have to give that all the time? ****! I thought you could just do it for a little while and they were hooked. What have I got myself into? I thought I could open a business and sit on my *** all day! **** customers! What will they want next? Clean beds all the time? New specials? Customer appreciation weekends? Clean towels? Jesus, this just isnt going to work. Don't they know they're just supposed to hand you their money and take what they get? I've got to rethink this!
