Dear folks,
I had an opportunity to meet up with the BP sales. These guys surely have their experience and track record. What I like about them is that they take in various jobs and engineer job costs to meet the client requirements. Many of the builders simpler promised very "cheap"price, but come back with lots of variation orders or "surprises". Truly, there is no such thing as "cheap, good and fast".
But, this BP sales set a higher price to minimise the VO. That is both good and bad. Good in that, it ensures clients are mentally prepared for ït, rather than being surprised by multiple subsequent VOs.
It surely not an easy job for them, but for the sales guy to have the guts to put a "high price" (and work with the customer) is no easy task. In this harsh economic climate, having such courage is quite trying.
Moi vested.

The thing I am scared most is not nightmares or market crashes..... Its my greed that I fear the most.
When people ask what is my target price, I never have any good answer for it because Philip Fisher said before (in Common Stock Uncommon Profit) that the best time to sell is never. Equity investment is buying into ownership, not betting slips.
The path to greatness and wealth is necessarily dangerous.... because greed is a fearsome fore that threatens your success at every step.
