Pricing and Billing for Home Inspectors


The most important factor in any business is figuring out how much to charge for services. That's what we call pricing. It's crucial. Many inspectors have no idea how to go about it. They don't know what price is both competitive and profitable. That's why you need to develop a strategy for pricing your services.

Online Credit Card Fee Comparison Tool 

 
We've just released a new online tool that estimates your monthly credit card fees based on your average inspection fee and the number of credit card transactions you expect to do each month. As you update the numbers, it calculates what you'd pay using Square and what you'd pay if you sign up for InterNACHI's exclusive discount at Signature Card Services.

"Watch My One-Minute Video"
   

    

"Watch My One-Minute Video" -- Why does this sentence work? It works because people don't want to commit the time to watch a 45-minute video. Alerting visitors to the fact that the video on your website is only a minute or two long actually entices them to watch it.
